    2000 3.4 auto 4x4. Everything was good until I got to the cold side of the brake switch. My brake switch has four wires. GR/WH, GR/YL, BLU/WH & BLU/YL. Per the Toyota's electrical schematics the GR/WH is the cold side of the brake switch. Can anyone confirm that the GR/WH is the cold side wire? What do the two BLU wires do? I did not see those on the schematics.

    I installed these two items:

    The brake input to your brake controller should be connected to Pin 1 (Green/White) of the brake light switch.

    Pin 2 and 3 are power in to the brake light switch and Pin 4 is for the cruise.
