    Dashcam Hardwire w/o Fuse Box *ALMOST* as easy as Dongar

    Hard to know beyond that without knowing what went wrong. Possibly one of the connectors above the mirror came loose during install? Otherwise worse case is the 12v shorted to neutral and fried something. Without knowing what went wrong I'd check all the fuses and then probably take it in to...

    Dashcam Hardwire w/o Fuse Box *ALMOST* as easy as Dongar

    It's either ECU-B or ECU-DCC depending on your build date. Could also be ECU-IGR. And in case this isn't obvious, take out what you plugged into the dome light camera connector. Something is not wired right.

    Dashcam Hardwire w/o Fuse Box *ALMOST* as easy as Dongar

    Sounds like you might have blown the fuse. Check the wiring and what you have plugged in. Something isn't right.

    My i-Force Max has an.... Alternator???

    It's not wrong, it's just regurgitating the hybrid explanation. Not terribly helpful though because it doesn't actually say anything about the alternator that isn't just defining what an alternator does.

    My i-Force Max has an.... Alternator???

    So since you have an alternator, does the manual have anything to say about it? Because my 24 does not have an alternator and obviously does not say anything about it in the manual. The hybrid system isn't really the confusion. The question is, why does the 25 have an alternator if the 24 didn't...

    My i-Force Max has an.... Alternator???

    Also a US 2024 Trailhunter with a November build date. No alternator. Maybe a 24/25 split? Maybe US/Canada? As I said in another post there could be a couple reasons for deciding to utilize an alternator. Or it could just be that they wanted to run the hybrid and non hybrid motors through the...

    My i-Force Max has an.... Alternator???

    It's pretty obviously intended. There are a few possible reasons people have mentioned. Could be the primary mode of charging for the 12v system, could be a secondary mode of charging should the hybrid system fail. Could simply be for providing supplementary power while the engine is running for...

    Driver's side door not unlocking

    I always hate to assume but I wonder if they tried to disassemble something in order to wrap it and broke the locking mechanism.

    My i-Force Max has an.... Alternator???

    Something is wrong if it can't sit for more than a couple days. You have some sort of parasitic draw. Mine regularly sits for a week or more at a time in the airport parking lot. I have heard of people using the app to remote start their truck every now and then if they're away for a month or...

    Screenprotech Email Hacked

    Screenprotech had their email hacked and are sending out phishing links. I got one last night.

    2025 Tacoma TRD Sport Driver's door randomly locks

    Sounds like something is stuck in the mechanism that unlocks it when you put it in park is my guess. All the other doors are unlocking, and when you get out the handle is overriding the driver door lock, and when you close the door it is still locked. Either that or the manual lock (not the...

    Mudflaps for Trailhunter?

    Good to know. I hadn't seen the Trailhunter specific threads. Was just going off what the manufacturer said.

    Mudflaps for Trailhunter?

    Unfortunately those say they don't fit the Trailhunter. I imagine it's due to the wider fender flares.

    Heritage Bronze is not 4T0 color code (touch up paint) ... so what is it?

    Pretty sure the bronze oxide body color is not the same as the bronze accents on the Trailhunter. Are you suggesting that they are the same or are they both called bronze oxide?
