Alright, pedal box bolts it is. I'm checking the OEM plug attached to the trucks wiring. I did check continuity on the Tekonsha harness and it all checks out ok

 

If the OEM plug attached to the truck from the factory doesn't have power, there could be a few things wrong. Either a fuse is blown, your meter is not properly grounded, or there's actually something wrong with the truck which is much less likely. Check each and every fuse visually. Remove the fuse and look at it, do this with the keys out of the ignition of course. Do not pull fuses with the truck running. Sorry if this is something you already know, I just have to say it lol

 

It's fine lol, I just wasn't sure if there was an extra step I was missing. I'll pull the fuse when I'm out at my truck, 10 more minutes left at work lol. Hopefully lot security won't mind

 

To add to this, just so you know what wires do what, which you may already know. In the aftermarket plug, Black is 12V+ and white is actually the ground. Red is the 12V signal from the pedal, blue is the 12V signal out to the trailer plug on your rear bumper.

 

Any idea what wire on the OEM plug is +12v? That would help a lot

 

Unfortunately I don't know the color but maybe this will help. Looks like pin 8

 

I figured it out. the fuse isnt blown, its just.... not there. i looked for blown fuses, but i didnt check to see if i had all the ones im supposed too.... ive also noticed im missing fuses for other things... WTF P/O

 

Your truck came with the tow package but was missing the fuse? How can that even be? What else were you missing, now you've got me curious.

 

Well, IIRC I'm the second or third owner, so there were already a few things "weird" with the truck when I got it, the trailer hitch plug had been busted, replaced and busted again and just left tucked in the hitch, I had to fix that, then there's the fuse issue, I need to look tonight when I'm off work to see what other fuses I might be missing.

 

Also I'm 99% sure, based on paperwork from Toyota when I got my spring recall done, that the P/O tried to get Toyota to buy the truck back at 80k under the accelerator pedal bullshit, got no sold by the dealer, and then just dumped it at 100k, which is why I got a screaming deal on it.

 

That fuse you are talking about is for the trailer brake, you have to install the fuse if you add a trailer brake unit.

 

yup, thats what i was trying to do, just needed some troubleshooting to figure out where the fuckup was. as soon as i installed the fuse the controller turned on like it is supposed too. also, WTF toyota, why you use hard to find Lo-pro ATM fuses?

 

Its back up for sale

I miss my lifted & locked 85.

 

go buy this one!

 

Can't building a garage. Did you see the lifted, locked & bobbed 1982 Toyota pu rock crawler on Baltimore CL earlier this week for $4500? It had a rebuilt 22re which is fuel injected, 5 speed, dual Tcases, 529 gears, winch, custom bumpers. Looked nice for the $$$. It was in Sykesville. The ad wasn't up for long.

 

Nope, have not seen it. I'd buy this in a heart beat if i had that kind of change laying around

 

too fat for both.

 

Hey is anybody interested in doing another meet? Trying to get one set up soon so we don't have to do a winter meeting which we've done twice before lol. Let me know if anybody is down.

 

Standard ATM fuses fit fine, plenty of room under the cover. At least there is on my 16
