Wiring help drivers kick panel.

Toyota publishes an Electrical Wiring Diagram (more info); use the Location & Routing section to identify the connectors of interest, and then see the schematic diagrams in the System Circuit section.

Probably a dealer-installed, aftermarket alarm system.

 

Good work. Now that you've got two days of access, you might also spend some of it looking up or downloading other stuff you might anticipate wanting to know about your car.

 

Not what you're asking for, but I recently installed a dashcam in my 2012 v Three.

I was hoping to find switched 12V up at the map light console, but did not. I did find switched 5V, but that could not provide enough power (about 1.2 Watts needed) for the dashcam.

So I ran it off constant-on 12V up there, which is how the map lights are wired. Due to the extremely low power draw of the dashcam, it works just fine, and being on all the time, it actually acts as a security cam when parked. I have it set as motion activated with high sensitivity, and it captures each car that drives by in our quiet neighborhood, people walking on the sidewalk, etc.

Basic calculations tell me the car should last at least two weeks like this without being driven. Since my wife drives it almost every day, we'e had no issues at all so far. If we would ever drop our usage to that low, I'd consider wiring in a little solar panel that should be able to provide 2+W on average.

And BTW on the power consumption for your particular dashcam, you should completely ignore any specs from the manufacturer and do your own tests.

Just a totally different thing to think about. Doing it all up top by the map light console vastly reduces the need to run wiring, remove body panels, etc. Very clean and easy doing it up there.

 

How about find the pre amp inputs on the amp below the passenger seat for jbl equipped so we can use it directly to an outboard amp? I’ve never seen any documentation of this before on here.

 

As far as "how to read the diagrams" goes, yes it can be a real mystery. Since there are so many diagrams, the publishers always follow a well formulated and described protocol. Usually the first 20 pages of the manual will have that all laid out in extreme detail so nothing is left to doubt.

On the other hand, a voltmeter will let you know where the power is, red often means power, black often means ground, a screw into virtually any piece of steel will always get you ground, you can estimate how much power can be drawn through the wire based on its gauge (diameter), and usually the worst you will do is to blow a fuse.

Combine that with the fact that the manual may not be right, especially if it is for a different year, and sole reliance on diagrams is not always the best thing.

 

I don't think you understood what I was saying.
BTW, of course red is not always 12V, black is not always ground, etc. I bet even in your car, in many cases they are that way, though, in many places. Look at your 12V battery, for example.
I'm not just posting stuff for you, it is for anyone who at any time finds this and may need to know something new. Even if some are easily offended and do not want to learn anything.

Serenity now!

 

As I mentioned on the Wiki page, many public libraries—including the one in San Antonio—subscribe to the ChiltonLibrary service, which you can access at no cost as long as you have a library card.

Keep in mind that you can get a PDF version of each diagram by clicking the Print button in the upper-right corner. Do this for each entry in the System Circuit section (noting that there are some duplicates), and you’ll have the diagrams for the whole car; the Overall EWD repeats much of the same information in a format more convenient for printing. The Location and Routing illustrations can also be saved in this way; on sections that have 1⃞2⃞ 3⃞ (etc.) at the bottom center, click these to select each page; they have separate PDF files.

Your TIS subscription also provides access to the library of Toyota’s technician course handbooks, in the technical training section. Each chapter is a PDF document, so you can save these for later reference, too.

Indeed. In the interactive viewer, this is all covered in the topics under Introduction.

On Toyota vehicles, ground wires usually (but not always) have white insulation with black stripes.
