    I need to do some research on how to get that plug working. What exactly is it called so I can word search it? Also it has a converter somewhere, do y’all know the name of it and its location?

    I know a guy who knows a lot about Toyotas. I may have picked up a thing or three.

    Wait that gives me an idea of the location of the inverter. Im still trying to find info on the plug itself. I tried using it for the first time about a month ago and found the plug and all the hardware was missing.. I tried searching it on this forum and haven’t found any info. So I’m assuming I’m using the wrong search words to find it.

    It's called an inverter.
    Does the switch light up when you turn it on?

    There is a fuse (AC SKT (100A)) and relay (AC SKT Relay) in the underhood fuse box that powers the inverter.

    Thanks for asking. Most my switches don’t light up, and when I opened the door to use the plug, I found it empty. I looked under the fender and it’s all gone. So I need to replace the physical plug assembly and the wiring to that plug.

    After starting this thread I’ve decided I’m going to install a bigger inverter somewhere in my truck. I’ll take a picture of it in the morning. I still want to have my dash switch activate the inverter. For now I need to find that plug assembly.

    Before you start, if you don't already have one, may I suggest purchasing a digital multimeter?

    Just get one from your local salvage yard. Chances are you will find one never used. Like mine.
