    Is there a bedight override mod that will allow the ON switch to work while truck is moving?
    On my old Tundra I simply had to cut the speed sensor wire running to the light relay, but with the canbus it might me a little more complicated. Before I pull out the wiring diagrams and start to see if I can figure this out, just wondering if it's posted somewhere? Yes I've searched.

    Mine does this already. Kids rode in the bed around the block the other night, turned the light on for them. Is this what you mean?

    DAM, I'm a moron. That ON switch on my Tundra would only work when in park, when in any other gear it was disabled, I just assumed the Tacoma was the same. I'll have to check it now. Thanks and sorry for being an idiot.
