    Hello, I found these pink splice-in connectors behind the left kick panel (drivers side). I just bought this truck from a dealership. After some sleuthing, I found some old photos of my Tacoma and it had quite a few upgrades from the previous owner. It had air lockers, compressor, CB radio, tow package, and perhaps more lights.

    My question is are these connectors OEM or aftermarket? Do these wires look familiar to anyone? I cant seem to track where they are going. I bought this tacoma from a dealership so maybe some parts were removed. Could it just be the 7-pin connector that someone added? Thanks!

    CH4x4 or similar toggle switch by the looks of it. The terminal block I'm not sure of.

    Looks great! Hopefully you don't run into any gremlins with the wiring. I'd definitely want to trace it down, and possibly remove it unless it is usable for your needs.

    gotcha, then it may be worth taking a day to see what these switch wires could have gone to. Now, that I think of it, the terminal block could be for an old fridge and electronics that were in the back. I found a pic of his camp set up.

    That would make sense. I haven't seen many setups with a terminal block inside the cab, but perhaps you'll find use for it.
