FJ Cruiser mods-installing console switches DIY
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 тра 2020
- In this video I add another mod to my Toyota FJ Cruiser.
The FJ Cruiser only has one USB port but there is space in the lower console to add more buttons and switches. I decided to add one USB port and then another switch for a LED light bar and rear lights.
I'll show you how to dismantle the console step by step as well as how to wire up the switches.

I find it interesting what they reversed for the right-hand drive vs left-hand drive. Switch panel and shifters reversed, but climate controls unchanged. Thanks for the video!
Bonus for the Joy Division shirt :)
Good video. I have some light buttons to install and this told me what I needed to know.
Also, I'm in the US and it's so interesting to see how everything is reversed on the RHD models, even the shift gate and the button layout.
Glad I could help
Nice vid. cable through near-enough to a roof rack mount bolt that it can stay inside sealed area/under shroud and out of sight (would deffo sika-flex the hell out of it) then run it through roof rack (like internal bike cable routing) to exit near where you need it. Run 7 core trailer wire so you have multiple options later. Light bars can draw big amps so might need to combine a few of the 7 for the primary light.
"Hand cream and tissue" comment was hilarious 😂
The blank with wires. The factory Sub woofer.
Ah genius. Thanks
Very helpful vid in understanding how to get to the dash switch wiring. Use a Scanstrut cable gland for roof penetrations. I'm replacing the OEM rack with a Sherpa Fuji and there is a perfect space next to the forward tower and behind the fairing for the gland. Will be practically invisible from view and waterproof.
Great thanks for the feedback, I’ve since sold the FJ and now have an 80 series but good advice for any other FJ owners. Thanks 🙏🏼
A clean way to get roof rack lighting in the KC Lites wire channel, it is a rubber channel that adheres to your windshield along the A Pillar, bends in nicely.
Nice idea that. I’m going to look into that. Thanks
Great Video! What wire size are you using? Going to order my parts now so I have and ready to install when the garage isn't 120 degrees. Any cocnerns if you are plugged into the all sources at once drawing too much power?
You found what's called a "loop" the previous owner was probably a printing press operator. They are used to examine what is called "register," basically a way to look closely to see if your printing press is aligning correctly and producing an acceptable product.
Very interesting. Thank you for solving the mystery
I had auto electrician do lights switches never had to pull car apart just removed blanks was ezy
Joy Division Tee Shirt. Thumbs up.
One of the best bands
It’s called a lube! And it’s for looking at negatives or 35mm slides.
Stuff evidence
You didn’t have to remove all of that you could’ve gone in through the radio
Where do you find there’s USB ports at?
VaibFormers you can get them from 4x4 Direct
You're South African👍🏾❤️😭😭
The best country in the world bru
Sorry to say removing your center console to get to your console switches was not necessary all you had to do was remove your 2 sides by music raido and unsnap panel around raido now you can see behind switch panel and reach in to access your wires you will need to unplug the plugs on panel to get hand in i find this much easier and faster to access the wiring for switch panel
The magnifying glass is a thread counter, what the scales marks are for... to count threads per inch in textiles. . It’s in perfect focus when unfolded into a C shape, in contact on the bottom “widow” . It is also used by graphic artists to look at dot patterns etc. in offset lithography, and other art uses.... I have several, and one in my briefcase at all times.
Awesome thanks Rich-mystery solved!
did you find out what are those cables in the blank of the top row of switches? ua-cam.com/video/ulpqf1BRRW0/v-deo.html
