wiring harnesses for factory EV switch

we have decided, permanently, that we are no longer making these harnesses. thanks for your interest.
_____________________________________________________________________________________


just wondering if anyone's interested in pre-made wiring harnesses for installing a factory EV switch. DH is collecting materials to make one, and we thought we'd see if anyone else was interested while we're at it. **this is mainly to enable people who don't feel comfortable doing this on their own, if you're technically inclined you can easily do the mod without this kit.**

[edited for clarity]

this would include:
-automotive grade (toyota) wiring
-all pins needed already soldered on to the wires
-a scotch-lok to tap into a power source
-and a set of instructions [attachmentid=3428] with

all you need is the actual switch and housing (which come together), and the time and tools to pull your dash apart.

price would be $20 shipped to your door via USPS.

i'll get a picture of the next one we make before we send it out, they turned out much prettier and more organized than this- but to give you an idea:
[attachmentid=2884]

note: the white connector shown is the housing, it comes with the ev kit and we do not include it.
we also bundle the wires together so that they're easy to sort out and not a jumbled mess like this when you get them

edit: the pin size for the 06 is different, so we'll have to wait on those. but with the right size pins, yes, it can work on the 06.

 

nope, no chip needed. you buy the switch, use the wiring harness to connect it to the ECU and a power source to illuminate the button, a couple grounds, and it's ready to go.

if you fly us out and put us up for a couple of days, sure

actually, yes we do. and that's the whole point. ready-to-go wires with connectors

we aren't including the white connector shown there because that's the housing, and it comes with the EV switch kit. no need to buy something twice.


and the pin for the ECU isn't way oversized so you don't have to go trying to jam this huge pin into a too-small hole like many have had to in the past- also easier to remove if need be.

evan, evan, evan....

in the original post:
"heck we'll also throw in a scotch-lok to make the connection for the illumination."

and we ground to a screw inside the dash.



i formally intruduce a new board acronym: RTWFT (read the whole fine thread) :lol:

yes, you will have to disassemble the dash to do this project, but we only tap into one wire. we ground the illumination and EV on a screw in the dash. it's less intrusive on the electrical system that way and leaves less evidence if you want to remove the switch.

yep, step by step instructions, and all wires on the harness are going to be labeled for clarity. photos where necessary to be absolutely clear.
