    Seems that I have a sensor or something wired into my dash near the gas gauge etc. I never really noticed this until it lost its adhesive grip and started to flop around. I bought this truck used and it was already installed. I dont see it in a diagram explanation of the dash panel in the manual.

    Any help is appreciated. This is a 2011 Taco double cab. 4x V6

    Thanks!!

    Don't know why anyone would use PhotoBucket/Google/etc for pics, when an attachment to the actual post works so much better.

    You used a link to a pic directly from your gmail...only you can see that pic, we can't. Save the pic from your gmail to your computer then use the Upload a File button below (where you type your reply) to upload it into your post.
