@@Tacomaholic I have tried it before But the apps button is not working And I disconnected the car's batteries And nothing has changed
@@omarobaleed291 Might have to have the dealership look at it then.
this video was perfect. I have blanks on the bottom and planning to wire ditch lights. The video allows me to proceed with that project. Thanks man.
i’m really feeling that steering wheel mod! Kinda pricey but it just might be worth it
Ha ha certainly not cheap but it looks and feels amazing.
Is there a video on this steering wheel?
Man, that was way more work than I was expecting. Thanks for doing it.
Lol it's a lot of steps but they go by quickly.
Wow. Just ordered a ditch light set and was not expecting this much work to simply install a switch. Damn you, Toyota. Thanks for the video, man.
Lol it is a lot of little steps but goes quickly.
Thanks man, I had forgotten how to take off the lower left trim piece with the weird little fake screw thing. Doing a double DIN swap and backup camera install so you saved my day 🤛
Nice!
Thanks for the great informative videos! Stay safe Braddah 😎🤙🏾
Absolutely loved the comment at 1:37…
“That’s what she said!!” LMFAO🤘🏻
Great video brother i can continue with my air compressor install as a do it yourself guy because of this much appreciated keep them coming subscribed!
Thanks Joshua!
Hey Dude! Thank you very much for making this series of video's. I have the exact same switch configuration as you do on my 2010 Tacoma. The only lights that actually have ever worked since I took delivery of the truck when it was brand new were the DAC and AC switches. Yes I know I could have gone back to the dealership, asked about it and had them replace them but at the time I really wasn't sure they were even suppose to light up. After a while I just lived with it because I had several other issues within the first 3 years of ownership that I had to go back to the dealership for and honestly I absolutely hate dealing with them. It was always a full day or overnight ordeal and I figured this light thing was minor. Anyway I just finished replacing five of the bulbs with the LEDs you recommended and they work great now. Can't wait until tonight when it gets dark and I can really appreciate the new illumination. Anyway Thanks again for taking the time to educate the rest of us. It is greatly appreciated.
Awesome which color did you go with?
@@Tacomaholic I wanted to stay with the same color scheme as when I bought the truck so I went with Amber...............but when I went out last night so I could see them working in the dark I was slightly disappointed. The color is off. The new Amber LEDs are much lighter than the rest of the dashboard lights. No don't get me wrong I am super stoked that all the switch lights are working after over a decade of them not. It's just that my OCD has kicked in and the difference in color is slightly disappointing. I'm wondering if maybe I should have done what you did and gone with the red LEDs instead. In either case thank you once again for your video. I've used several of your recommendations, Seat Jackers being one of them. What a world of difference!
@@patricks792 Ugh bummer. The red ones I have are pretty bright.
Thanks for the video. Lots of work. Lol. Really would like to upgrade to the radio screen you have. Looks so much better than my old 06 set up lol
Nice video as always, thanks.
Waiting for the led colour change video, I would opt for red or amber dash illumination anytime, but I wonder if its applicable on my 3rd gen trd offroad.
I think I have to see your walk through, analyse and compare if I can apply same method.
Keep it up and thanks.
Thanks! I'll be recording and uploading (weather permitting) the led bulb change vid today). Accessing those switches on your 3rd gen will be different of course, but the bulb size and swapping method is probably identical.
Thank you for the easy to follow video
Thanks for the info 😊
Great videos. I been wanting to do some mods under the dash.
Nice. I couldn't find help with this a month ago, had to improvise.
Just want to say thanks. I used this video to install my fog light switch on my pre wired base 2015.
Glad it helped. 👍
Always love your videos man! But seriously, how do you have this much free time to do these things?? ;-)
Just did a bar light install on mine, was able to fish the wires through without removing all the body panels. I just took out the plate where the electronic mirror adjustment goes, (I don’t have electric mirrors, but I think you could still do it even if you did), and reached into that to pull the wires up and around to the main switch panel. Hope this helps!
Liked and subscribed, always good to know how to carefully remove the plastic panels.
Thanks so much! Some of them are pretty easy while others ... not so much.
@@Tacomaholic do it wrong and break the plastic part!🤷♂️
Excited to see how you paint instrument panel silver rings! Do you know if the silver rings on the door panel speaker detach to be painted?
I'll need to check the speaker rings because that would also be something I'd like to change.
Adding switches to my tacoma 2nd gen. It's a base model so lots of costuming available to do to it.
thank you so much!
My question is on the prerunner 2wd what are the two extra wire plugs for
So nervous about doing this but I’m committed on wiring up some ditch lights. How simple does it all go back together?
Very simple. Just reverse process and take your time.
Question for ya so I got a 2006 Toyota Tacoma sr5 while in this project I came to find I think it was 3 plugs that had no buttons to considering I have a sr5 and It was a hand-me-down I am not exactly sure what they are to. I was thinking maybe a diff lock button like I have seen come stock with others but I am not too sure. Can someone explain to me please?
Hi Brian, Thanks for your vids. I've added an aftermarket fog light set with harness including fuse, relay and switch to my 4 cylinder 2014 Tacoma. Circuit works, only problem is I cannot find
room around the factory harness feed thru to run my switch wires inside the cabin. Any help will be appreciated ! Thx.
Thanks for watching! I've had to pop new holes in the factory rubber wire opening in the firewall for additional wires. If you go that route just push through slowly with something sharp then carefully feed the wire through on a coat hanger or something similar.
@Tacomaholic This is the second time you've answered a question for me. The fact that you respond right away is awesome. Will def try your recommendation. Thanks for the help!
@@richardhartford609 Any time buddy!
I want to swap the position of the 400W/100W and the RR Diff Lock. Do you think that there is enough play in the wiring for this? Thanks for all your help with the Tacoma. Upgraded the '07 to a '15 in May and am cranking through my Mod List.
Probably going to be close but I bet there is enough slack to swap those two positions.
@@Tacomaholic Great. Thanks. There was enough slack. Great swap project. Since I will be pressing the 400W button alot now that my 400W mod is done, I could not see the button well due to my seating & steering wheel position. It's the Little Things, right? Thanks again!
@@jroegiers Awesome glad to hear it.
What all is to the right of the upper set of switches? I’m kinda thinking of putting a 4 or 6 gang plate in place of the original 3!
Thanks for any info and keep the videos coming!
Are you asking what I specifically have up there to the right of the upper row of switches?
Tacomaholic No I’ve got the same switches (2013 Off Road)but was wondering if there was anything that might be in the way to the right of the top three as I’m looking at expanding with a 4 or 6 gang switch plate! www.ebay.com/itm/333240087128
@@andrewseth3998 I'm not sure if that one would fit. This might: amzn.to/39OJPNN
Tacomaholic I know I think I would make it overlap the original 3 though and just use a dremel tool underneath to make all 6 uniform.
How do you replacement inside door lock button on 2013 Toyota Tacoma
I have a 2006 Toyota Tacoma with regular mirrors I want to put power mirrors in is it hard to do can you let me know
I'm not sure on that one.
How about a talk about what those switches control and where they should be set for different driving situations?
I never knew these were Supposed to turn on my lights down Hill assist refer differential lock I don't see return on on my car lights are on the rest to do you happen to know which fused is this in the fuse Box
Not sure which fuse but the fuse diagram is on the inside of the fuse box lid.
i just got some ditch lights and the switch that came with it doesn't fit those spots is there a place to buy just that plastic switch
CH4X4 has a nice selection: amzn.to/3Ed807Q
Adding switches fog light, side mirror switch ( did not come with any of these non electrical but has optional jacks for it) aux, and another fog light not sure what the other buttons do need Clarification
The top row of switches from left to right is: Fog Lights - Rear Diff Locker - 100W to 400w Power ... and the bottom row is Traction - Downhill Assist - Rear Side Curtain Airbags
You have the link for the 4wd knob?
Yessir here's a link amzn.to/48gTz1K
Were do I gat the switch replacement for the left side of the steering wheel
Here are some different types that fit there: amzn.to/3EIJP4Y
What about the hazard indicator switch? How can it be removed so as to replace the bulb?
You'd have to pop out the panel beneath the head unit for that. Not sure if it's and led bulb or not though.
Can u do a tutorial for the switch panel on the ceiling
I go over that switch panel as part of the install in this vid ua-cam.com/video/erotP050Tmg/v-deo.html
Where did you get those switches and did you have to modify to fit?
My Tacoma came with all of those switches on the left side of the steering wheel.
Are those after market knobs to adjust your AC?
Yessir. I go over them in this vid: ua-cam.com/video/s4zUYQu6p2Q/v-deo.html
Thanks
Where did you get that steering wheel
Ha ha that's actually from a Corolla. I go over the install here: ua-cam.com/video/3vhCGI6moYY/v-deo.html
Learning stuff, not for these mods particularly, but anticipating my 13 year old 2nd gen will burn out some bulbs, eventually.
A vid for swapping those switch bulbs is next on the list.
I have a 08 and already started it
@@docrichardson7034 mines an 07 reg cab, probably jinxed myself because I recently thought to myself I was surprised all my dash lights still worked.
Do you have a link for that mount system you have at 3:42 and a install video?

@@Tacomaholic thanks so much man.... any information on led replacement bulbs for climate control for 2006 ??
@@alexalvarez9462 If I remember correctly the 2005-2011 Tacomas have regular incandescent bulbs behind the center console area ... so if you open it up you should be able to swap them for colored leds.
@@Tacomaholic would you happen to know the size ? I can’t seem to find something that fits
@@alexalvarez9462 I don't see a bulb part number but these are the direct non-led replacements: amzn.to/32OMAhv
At 1:21 is there a hidden screw or something? I got the one you untwisted near the foot rest
Once you remove that black plastic screw on the footpad thing it's only clips holding that piece on if I remember correctly.
@@Tacomaholic thank you for the quick response! Yours came off alot easier than mine😂
@@nicholaslongworth3300 Lol they can be stubborn sometimes.
Whats that overhead switch panel

where did you get that steering wheel!!!!?

Yes.....I always start from the back.....find it better that way😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yo Tacomaholic. I've been wanting to install your style steering wheel. I have a 2010 tacoma with the controls. Are you wanting to sell your OEM one ?
Hey buddy! Not sure if I'm selling my old Tacoma wheel just yet.
What year do you want?
Doc Richardson I would like to get the 12 thru 14 I believe... I have the 2010 currently with all the steering wheel controls. I've read on Tacoma world that they are interchangeable as long as you get the new steering wheel clock when installing and maybe there is a sub harness that the new style steering wheel would need to adapt to the newer style buttons. I'm still not sure on what parts I need and how it all works to be honest. Guess it's time for me to do some homework!!!
@@Tacomaholic where did you buy that steering wheel. Will it work on 2005-2009 Toyota Tacoma for that Steering wheel you have on the video?
@@atmosphereoasis9564 Here's a link to the steering wheel install vid and there are links for the parts in that video description: ua-cam.com/video/3vhCGI6moYY/v-deo.html It should physically fit just fine in an 05-09 Tacoma but the button controls probably won't work.
Holy moldy, what steering wheel is that?
It's from a Corolla iM. Love it! Checkout the install vid: ua-cam.com/video/3vhCGI6moYY/v-deo.html

Thats what she said 😂
Where are you? No videos posted in months!
Not sure what's wired but my blanks are wired...
That's how Toyota rolls. I've got two blanks in the center where the seat heater buttons are found that are the same way.
If your truck is before 12 I think Toyota wired it for everything. The wire is there just have to add relays usually.
@@docrichardson7034 I'll check into it I have an 07 trd offroad. Was looking at adding an aux block but if this will work for now. Hate wiring...
@@Tacomaholic I'll try tracing the wires
@@jeremiahhebner8593 ok mine is a 08 SR5
Could of just used a Bobby pin to remove them instead of all this...
Don’t STRIP those plastic screws 😫😬
You would! 😀
My God they made these so inaccessible.
