    Anyone know what this connector is for? Seems odd to just be hanging out. Also I'm not sure where to pull power to light my CH4X4 OEM style switches with the dash lights.

    2018 TRD Sport 4x4 w/Premium & Tech packages, if that helps.

    I was going to say brake controller, but that looks like not enough pins. Probably some feature you don't have.

    You're missing the other one buried behind that big block. Trailer brake harness. The beauty is that it has a non-keyed power terminal in it. I tapped that for non-keyed USB charging.

    Does anyone know if Tacoma’s are manufactured with soy based wire insulation? Critters apparently can’t get enough of that tasty shi_.

    It was either changed just before the 2016s or between the 2016 and 2017 MYs.
