    Hi all, I’m new here so sorry if this is the wrong forum for this, I’m trying to re-pin this connector, only problem is, I can’t find what size pins to get. The plan is to de-pin, clean the connectors, then re-pin and replace the bad ones. I’m kind of a noob at this kind of stuff so any insight or advice would be appreciated.

    I see “1903614” on the connector, here is a picture of what it connects toD32D89EA-11EF-47E7-995C-C3F6B03B5798.jpg 232FE9C0-4BB8-4943-B720-88A230B5D4A4.jpg

    What is this on and where is the connector located?

    It’s located on the bottom left of the driver side where the oem switches are, im not exactly sure what it’s for, but i believe this is why my DRL’s and my power windows to stop working.

    I can't find that connector on any diagrams, this is on the 2018 Tacoma listed in your profile correct?

    Yes, 2018 SR5, I’ve googled all day trying to find an idea or even a replacement. But its right next to the steering wheel on the left, where the little panel with the little coin storage can be taken off with a 10mm.

    Interesting, none of the harness joining connectors I can find in that area have 3 rows of pins.

    @caribe makaira any insight here?

    I'd say go back to vehicle and trace the cable. It seems to be a remote start connector tied to M6. (main Body ECU)

    Ah that would make sense why it doesn't show up on the factory diagrams.

    I just wanted to updated this post, I fixed the problem, after many forum reading between here and reddit, I found out that the male connector was not OEM, it was for my viper starter and theft prevention. Could not care less that this corroded since it has a forever warranty, I disconnected the female cleaned it, took out the broken pins and plugged it back into the oem (I apologize if I butcher this horribly) the main connector “motherboard” (I called it) the male is still a loss but everything oem to the truck began working again, DRL’s and all windows. Going to get the starter/theft system looked at for free and I still have a good fully functioning truck, thanks to everyone who gave some input and tried to help!
