Lost chrome wheel moldings, stripping

Doesn't look like you're wired for mirrors unfortunately. 2 pins for pos/neg of speaker and 1 wire for the courtesy light trigger.

I do wonder what that connector is for though. Maybe you know, @mechanicjon?

 

You can see if at the bottom of the 2nd photo in case someone is curious.

 

Locker computer has 10 pins, not 6.

 

OK, now its a mystery.

 

From what I understand the locker on non 4WD vehicles had its own computer, while the 4WD vehicles with the locker just used the 4WD computer. Is that true?

 

For the record, my truck is a 2000 4wd, non-TRD.

 

Nope, not true. There are two computers regardless of 4WD or Prerunner. The locker computer is called the 4WD Control ECU, and the 4WD computer is called 4WD ECU. Although I have seen documentation where they are both called 4WD Control ECU. I know, very confusing.

The locker computer is located in the driver kick panel and is either brown or black depending on the year. The 4WD ECU is somewhere in the dash.

 

Well damn that's confusing... so if I had a PreRunner the rear locker computer would be called '4WD Control ECU'?

 

Haha yea, if you are looking for one at a junkyard they are under the driver side kick panel. Here's how I put mine in https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tiffany-the-taco.374490/page-5#post-14771682

 

Did you make the harness yourself? I know the harness going to the back merges with the whole rear lighting harness and gets confusing.

 

I got all the wiring from the donor truck and pulled the locker wires from the rest. Then I used a 6 pin connector I got on Amazon for the under seat connection. I talk about it a little bit in that post.

 

Were all the wires on the 4WD control computer used for the rear locker?

 

The 4WD control ecu is only for the locker, nothing else. It gets it power from the 4wd 20amp fuse and connects to the 4wd ecu to only lock in 4 Low (4wd models). There is a separate ECU just for 4wd components.

 

So, what's the verdict on this connector that I thought was for the mirrors? It isn't connected with anything. Would it go to the locker if I wanted to install a factory E-locker? This is toward the bottom behind the drivers side kick panel.

 

Nope, not for the locker as I stated earlier. Locker connector has 10 pins.

 

Cruise control or power doors?

 

Ah, that's right. I forgot. Thanks. It's probably for the air conditioned seats option.

 

I have cruise, pwr locks/windows and this connector isn't hooked to anything.

 

Could be for ECT since you have a manual.

 

That makes so much sense now.
