Wiring Trailer Plug
Guys/Gals
Need to wire up the 94 4 Runner for a trailer plug.Question is can this be
done through the Taillight exterior or does one have to remove interior side
panel right side in the back of the wagon??

Re: Wiring Trailer Plug
On my 99 Taco, you can either take the lens off and wire it in, or do
it from underneath, I spent the $130 for he factory harness for towing
because of possible computer related electrical problems, but for the
third brake light on the cap, I just wire it from under the bed.

Re: Wiring Trailer Plug
Dave,
Check around at some local stores. I have a 95 Toyota 4x4 with the same basic
light system. I bought a wiring kit at K-mart that was pretty inexpensive and
simple to install. The kit was basically a plug in deal where part of the
electricity was routed to the tail lights and the other to the trailer. The
advantage to this kit is that you can do it yourself and make sure it is done
right. Note that the kit that I bought has the 4-way flat plug type adaptor.
All you have to do is take off the right-rear stop light with a phillips-head
screwdriver. If you do online buying check with some retailers such as Bass
Pro/Cabelas/Northern Tool/Performance Products to see if they have any kits in
stock. Be sure to insulate the wire connections well with electrical tape to
keep them protected from salt and the elements. My kit is over 9 years old and
has survived a lot of winters and road salt without having to refresh the
connections.
