    installed hilux 4x4 selector today with hopes for illumination. No illumination plus my AC lights are out, my boost gauge light is out, and my climate control only blows hot. Hot/cool temp selector spins but only blows hot, climate area selector doesn’t work(always blows out at my face, no defrost or feet).

    I pulled the wires to my boost gauge and the hilux switch to put it back to stock configuration but the issue is the same.

    Help

    Ok, it’s all working again. One of the T connectors cut right through a wire. When I get home tonight I’ll solder this shit in place instead of doing it the quick way.

    Scratch that. The AC lighting is not working, but the 3 knobs are back to functional. Lighting wires for boost gauge and 4x4 selector are still disconnected.

    2015 is the model. Anyone have a pinout diagram for that black plug?

    Here's a link to a full pinout diagram. It's a lengthy read but very helpful. I'll try to find that plug and send a page number your way if I do.

    I read in a thread that the pinout for the 13 and 15 are different. That attachment is for a 13.

    Thanks for taking the time to help. .

    There's probably some difference, but I've never been able to find one for a 2015 (which is what mine was also). That generally gave me enough guidance to figure it out though. I hope you can get it sorted out though. Electrical issues are always the hardest thing to troubleshoot without being there.

    Found yet another wire chomped by my T connectors. Once I put the green and white wire back together the AC lights came back.
