2016+ (3rd Gen) TOYOTA TACOMA MODS

ECT PWR Switch Extension Harness with Dash Light Pigtail

I don't use the ECT PWR switch often (mostly when towing our boat or jet ski) but when I want to use it I'd prefer it in a more convenient, visible location. For me, I have a cell phone cup holder that blocks the switch in it's factory location, plus I have to reach down and around to get to it. My solution was to relocate it to furthest left on the drivers side - higher, more visible, and easier to reach. My secondary motivation is to free up buttons locations for future heated seats.


For this mod to happen I needed to extend the factory harness by 30". The harness shown below is plug-and-play with not cutting of factory wires - simply unplug the ECT PWR switch, plug the extension harness into the factory harness, route the extension harness to the drivers side and plug in the ECT PWR switch. There are many Internet posts on how to rewove Tacoma dash panels so those steps aren't included here.​ Also, tap off of the provided dash illumination pigtails (power & variable ground). 


Auto High Beam \ ECT PWR Button Jumper with Dash Light Pigtail

This plug-and-play mod simply provides an auxiliary dash illumination power source for additional\future option buttons. Simply plug in the jumper harness into either the Auto High Beam or ECT PWR buttons and tap off of the provided dash illumination pigtails (power & variable ground). I also offer a pigtail splitter providing three power sources.

Other Mods

Along with these listed mods, I'm trying to gauge interest if an extension harness for the BSM & Parking Assist buttons is something folks are interested in.

BUTTON KEYS

 Each option button is keyed on both the left and right, to fit into predefined dash openings. You will need to use a small file to rekey the dash opening for the specific button(s) you are moving. 


This is a quick simple process and the highlighted image is just one example. The Traction Control button also required me to rekey the dash button hole.
