Random wire dropped out?

it's a tracker so dope mules can take the shipment out of your spare when it's parked

characteristic of the vehicle

 

God bless you! Thanks for being cool about it!

 

just called the body shop. they said they never heard of that. and they never add that to vehicles. so going to have to go to the dealer and ask WTF.

 

Is it spliced into factory wireing? That could potentially cause electrical gremlins in the future etc etc. Document it well incase you need a new wireing hartness because of it in the future.

 

it might be something added to all new vehicles if the dealership has been hit
by organized crime...and forgot to be removed in the post sale prep

otherwise

it is a tracker of some type

 

It's most likely a tracking device harness. I have installed many and they are very similar.
There are only 2 wires present on the connector(power and ground) Plus the fuse is fairly small(5A).
It is using a OBD 2 "T" harness to get it's power and ground from the truck..that is it. I would remove it so there is no issues... but definitely take it to the dealership if this truck was purchased as "NEW"

 

It should just unplug from the OBD2 port...

 

Yep.

Drive to dealer.

3 amp

 

Doh. I always get the brown and purple mixed. I knew it was low current.

 

Brown is 7.5, 5 amp is orange.

But yep definitely low current. Can't draw much off the OBD II connector. More than likely it's a GPS T-harness like you said.

Op: Definitely not factory. Possible it was installed at port for whatever reason. Honestly maybe someone smuggled something in the truck. It's very possible. Either way I would just disconnect it and remove it all, or have the dealer do so if you can't. More than likely it wasn't them either, as I'm sure they would have removed it if so. That's a huge liability falling down and getting tangled up while you're driving.

So this is tacoma world. Someone posts the most random thing in the world that they find on their drivers side and within 2-3 posts, someone figures out it's a cockring:

But, this, 4 pages later and it doesn't seem to be resolved. Hmmmm....

I'm starting to like this forum more and more.

 

Truck had a gps in it. Whether for financing reasons etc. It was there. Or possibly still there but just unplugged.

 

pretty sure its been resolved on what it is.
