    Hey guys, im new to the forum, and just bought my first tacoma. She's a white 05 trd sport double cab. I noticed this plug going to one of the blank buttons to the left of steering wheel. Does anyone know what its for? Im assuming its just wiring for something dont have but i cant figure out what would go there. ive attached a few pics of what im talking about.0815001508_287ec3260a115f26f847dfd53f04b06683bf78f7.jpg0815001508a_a64ff23f671b3d330d9893025e21b50768d77ad2.jpg

    Not quite sure about the 05.. But in my 2010 thats where the fog lights button is. you have fog lights? If not maybe already wired for them. I'm guessing, Not to sure. Welcome to TW by the way!

    On my 06 the top row is: fogs, diff lock, power inverter

    lower row: blank, clutch start cancel, blank

    never seen one completely filled with switches unless it's an 09 plus

    Is there a plug in the middle also?
