you will probably find a few wires that are 'hot':
one should be hot continuously, one should be hot with the key on, and there may be one that is hot when the dash lights are on.
best thing is to buy a voltmeter (about 20-30 dollars) and figure which is which by probing.

I'm going outside to hug my 4runner.
