I have been curious what this is ever since i took the middle console apart. Over 6 months ago? i think.

Anyway, had it apart last night and took a picture.
Does anyone have any idea what the connector on the right is for? The one on the left goes to my back window, but not a clue what the right one is for...


(Sorry about poor quality pic. Took from my phone when it was getting dark)

i have the same one. I have come to the conclusion that some of the early trucks had a manual power antenna control switch so you could raise and lower it. Not sure though

So you think i could get switch from toyota and be able to control the antenna?
I have a power antenna, but its broke I think.

The plug on the right is for the rear heater, the plujg on the left is for the rear window switch IIRC

I dont think i have rear heat. Is that why it doesnt have a switch? or might i have it and not realize it, just no switch...?

I do not have rear heat either. so that is why I thought the antenna switch

90-95 Power antennas are controlled via a relay. There is no switch like the 84-89 4Runners had. Sorta silly, as the only way to raise/lower the radio in a 2nd/3rd/4th gen is to turn the radio on/off.

Automatic? Could that be the ECT Power mode?

Edit: Nope, I see the ECT switch in the BG.

Edit #2: REAR WINDOW LOCKOUT SWITCH????

I'm telling ya, its for the rear heater.

Remember, toyota pre-wired these trucks for almost every dang option. I bet if you got the rear heater assembly it would fit in perfect and clip right in...

Ok, ok!!... I'll go look!























Wait a sec....














Ok, I'm back. Didn't pull my console right out, but I popped the switch for the rear heater control and it is a 3 pin connector. The switch itself has a 12" lead on it, so I couldn't physically see the connector but given your photo, it only makes sense. Even if it was never used, Toyota has a habit of using the same harness regardless of the trim level, and adding what was ordered.

So I agree with DeathCougar. Rear heater control.

many of the options were dealer installed, so Toyota had to account for that and provide the wiring harness(es) accordingly.

wasn't there an option for rear heat/cooling in the 90's... and maybe an ashtray / cig lighter too?

Noltz

Definately the option for rear heat. My SR5 has it. No cig lighter, just and ashtray in the console. After checking, there's nothing else that switch could be. If it was the window lockout (like my '91 had), then it wouldn't work with the switch missing.

Wonder how hard it would be to install the rear heat stuff...... :/
