ok i just picked up a first gen 4 runner and we where cleaning it out and came across this, iv never seen it before and have never heard it mentioned on yotatech before, so lets test your knowledge of yodas!!!

here is a pic of what it is

 

some sort of over seas plug

 

portable worklight? with some messed up plug lol idk

 

I don't know...never seen that before...looks like it's homemade.

 

nope, nice try. but it came out of trucke in the us, maybe in other places, idk.

 

ya almost got it, do a know where it plugs in to????

 

That's the 1st gen idiot light!Or dummy light as some people like to call them!

 

look under the steering wheel to see if there is a plug there for it.

 

yea i know where to plug it in at, i was testing the others!!

 

There should be some kind of plug for it under the drivers side dash.

It was some optional accessory in the 1st gens. Someone on here had one for sale on ebay a few months ago and he went into great detail about what vehicles it came in and whatnot.

I believe it was supposed to plug in under the dash then strung out to be an under the hood light thus the hook and on/off switch

 

Wow I saw the info on those trouble lights in my owners manual and was very curious about them. good picture. Very cool but not cool enough to make me want to ditch my mag lite.

 

you got it
