Looks like you control your devices by load so something that could go 15a like a compressor. You’re gonna wire it up to the 15a wire and run aux 1. Ditch lights not sure what they run but 10a would be around 120w so should cover most. Would wire up to the green 10a cable and that would be aux 2. Looks like a pretty nice setup to come from the factory I’m impressed.
i found my D location plug and its only 2 wires and opened up the switch panel but there is no harness there. Im guessing tracing that D wire would be a pain lol
So how do you choose which switch controls each light? Like you said you have the black 15amp wire on aux 1, but what if I wanted to do the 15amp on aux 3 instead? You still need to connect the 15amp light or accessory to the black wire under the hood or kick panel correct? Is there a way to program which switch controls which circuit if each switch isn’t hardwired to the corresponding amp rated wire like the manual shows?
You can’t swamp the amps on the inside aux switches. They are already wired for 15,10,5amps. Aux1 will power 15amp, aux2 10amp and aux3 5amp. All 3 switches are loomed together into one harness that contains 4 cables, one lead cable for each switch and one for ground. The harness option with plugs throughout the truck in case your connecting accessories in various places. I think there is 2 in the engine bay, one in the kick panel and one by the rear frame. They pretty much ran the wiring for you.
Thanks so much! Super helpful ☺️. Quick question, for the relay on/off switch that came with your KC light harness, did you just trim that off since you’re using the OEM switch?
I simply just cut off the switch. They’re 3 cables going to the toggle switch that came with the lights. Once I cut the switch I wired one lead to the 5amp aux switch for the backlight option. The other lead which is for the actual bright beam I wired to the 10amp aux switch. The ground to ground.
Thank you, very helpful and best video yet on the '24 Tacoma pigtail aux switch wiring!
I appreciate that, glad to help!

@@Annon89 yes sir.. I think Toyota thought of how people add accessories into these trucks.
Sooooo helpful

What happens when you turn 2 and 3 on? Does the backlight and main light turn on? Good video. Didn’t realize each switch had different amp on it.
@@posenyang9549 The lights only allow you to run either option, you cannot run regular beam and amber backlight at the same time.

Toyota really like to complicate things.
