Overhead console swap

So I did a little digging, there is a wiring harness for it and I managed to find one, and ordered it the part number is 82171-0C480, however the dealer said that it's on a backorder. So we'll see how that goes. But I do have the ic7 or ic5 (whatever it is) connector behind my speedo for the temp sensor. And I have a good instruction for installation from a user off of another forum that posted the help from 2010. Hopefully all goes well, but I'll leave it if anything since the garage door opener functions flawlessly.

 

Thanks for that, I failed to realize he wasn't the OP on this, so I missed that bit. Reading back isn't my strong suit.

Yup, 82171-0C480 is what I have. Looks like it's actually down in price, when I was hunting back in the day, it was $225. Looks like it's around $100 right now. Good time to buy.

That said, 82171-0C480 has literally everything: It'll plug into the back of the fuse box if I recall, it also contains:

• Both sun visor light plugs
• 7 or 8 pin OEM auto-dim mirror pug
• Courtesy light/overhead console plug
• Dome light plug
• (Possibly also) Sunroof, TPM receiver, 3rd brake light etc.

I can't remember if I've taken a pic of mine, but if you want me to pull it out and snap a shot of the part so you can see what you get when you buy 82171-0C480, I really don't mind doing it.

I can't recall, but I swear it also has a fork that gets plugged in behind the gauge cluster too.

 

I know I would appreciate it @shifty`. We've had a number of these Console type threads and seeing a good picture of connectors/harness would be useful to someone someday.

 

I'll scoot over to the shop in a little bit and snap a pic. I'll try to get clear pics of the bulkhead end also, so wire colors are clear.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I really miss the old days where EWDs were easy peasy, the colors were clearly documented, and you could get a very clear pin-out of each connector with the color and voltage/function of each wire. Not dissimilar from what, say, one of Metra's stereo harness adapters looks like.

I've been really struggling with my situation, trying to decipher the plug on my damn truck, but trying to visualize what's actually installed in my truck, where each harness starts and ends, what connector type it uses, and more importantly, the pinout of each connector ... I feel like I need a damn rocket science degree.

I'm tempted to swap the DC roof harness into my truck, but I'm pretty sure I remember the behind-gauge-cluster fork is different between the two trucks, potentially other stuff also.

 

I'll post what I downloaded from the old thread here. Basically,it connects from the fuse hub, forks over into the IC5 Plug behind the speedometer module, and up into your visor lights, console and dome light.

 

Good ole yodapug @ TundraSolutions. Downloaded that pdf a few years back. Tundra Solutions and Tundra Talk have almost as much of a wealth of knowledge as Tundras.com Posting this also from a link I forgot I had. There are places just as good I'm sure. They also go by whatever ones Model Code more so than body style what not since Mdl Code translates to body style.

This is for my 04, MDL Code UCK41 PRSLKA and also showing all the 82171 Roof Cables type's for 04

Funny enough, I just got the notification that my harness is on its way. So clearly somebody had one.

 

@BubbaW and @Konniekay91 here's an overview of the Double Cab roof wire (82171-0C480), you know I'm happy to share since I've got it right in front of me.

First, here's an overview picture, with numbers and what I know from EWD as the purpose of the wires. I'm numbering these on purpose, to show you close-ups of the respective connectors in the pics that follow, with a close-up of the back side of the connector so you can clearly see the pin-out and wire colors (I hope). I'm assuming #3 is probably for either the 3rd brake light, the tire pressure monitor receiver or both. But since I can't confirm, overview will remain a question mark.




And here's #1 connector that tees into the relay/fuse box in the position closest to the steering wheel. Two shots.





Next, we have the temp sensor. This is a green wire and a white w/green stripe, though I think the actual OEM temp sensor uses light green wire and grey wire. This should connect to a two-prong harness that's coming from the engine bay, and if you traced from the cab under the steering wheel, it would pass through in the main firewall bulkhead, and end up next to the passenger side horn on the radiator support.



Then we have #3 which again I think probably goes to the 3rd brake light, the tire pressure monitor receiver if it's on the roof in the Double Cab like it is in the Access Cab and Regular Cab. But I may be wrong (by way of logical exclusion, it probably has to be to rear of cab roof)



Then we have this little guy, which is #4. It's basically identical to #7 with one white w/blk stripe wire, one red wire (don't recall if red is striped).



Next up is the major player, #5. This is the main connector which @Konniekay91 is missing wires from. This goes to the overhead console and provides the temperature, ACC and ON power, ground, etc. for the overhead console. Worth noting the white w/green stripe and green here are the temp wires. Once again, white w/black stripe is ground (as usual)



Then we have #6, which is for vehicles that had the auto-dim rear view mirror - for folks lucky enough to actually have the fully loaded #5 connector with the rainbow of wires, they should find this tucked away up in the headliner when they drop the console. It's a 7-pin with only 2 wires in positions 6 and 7, one black w/red stripe, one white w/black stripe (pretty sure it's black stripe, again, that's Toyota's M.O. for ground) and I should note: That black w/red stripe may be always-on, but I'm not 100% positive on that one. I'd need to consult the EWD. Someone tell me and I'll edit this.



Last but not least we have #7. This is the other vanity light in the passenger side visor. Don't ask me how these attach, I assume maybe they go thru the L-shaped center post? I dunno. Again, one primarily white w/blk stripe, one primarily red wire.

 

PS - it's worth noting, I don't see anything on this Double Cab roof wire harness that heads over to behind the gauge cluster. Maybe that's only an Access Cab/Regular Cab thing?

I clearly see in the '06 EWD at least, it exists on the AC wiring (I think it was IC2, going from memory), but I don't recall seeing it on the DC.

 

I'll trace it when I start to tear in. That was merely an observation I made reading through yodapugs Instructuons. What to actually expect, I've no clue.

 

Thanks much @shifty`, that somewhat gives me an idea of what I would see if roof was removed. Was hoping that cable was pinned for Moon Roof(pins 9-12).

Slight correction for those that come across this for accomplishing or troubleshooting. As mentioned a few posts above, pin 4/5 are Blu-Red/Blu-Wh for the Temp Sensor. The WH/Grn - Grn you mentioned above is illumination whether one is looking 04 - 06 EWD.

 

@BubbaW where'd you get the 1-13 list in the bottom-right of that image? Did you insert that?

That's essentially what I've been hunting for, but ... damn if I've been able to find it.

I'll take some time to update my 1st image to cut out the temp part. It didn't dawn on me that it would tee in to the illum, I presume from the cluster area or something?

 

I did indeed insert the list, given my memory is not what it used to be and wanted to keep up as I reviewed 04-06 EWD, which matched color and pin wise.

Yeah, I was wanting to take O 8 connector first given that's what this thread is about. However, I want to address the other connectors given the trouble you went to. This may or may not assist others but it definitely assists me and appreciate it immensely.

 

* @shifty`, this should clear any issues with the above pic of 82171-0C480 Roof Wire. The connectors shaded in red are not part 82171-0C480 but there to assist me for a project I'm dealing with my RSES. Your pic of the whole cable Stops at I26 and does not include connectors M6, R21, R20 shaded in red.

* Note that the "green wire and a white w/green stripe" mentioned above is related to Illumination and is the IC5 connector.

* The Temp Sensor wires @ O8 goes to 1M connector, which is the end of cable that plugs into Driver Side J/B.

* As for # 3 pic above, that is I26, used for Interior Light, middle of roof.

 

This is your # 1 reference pic above @Shifty and should look familiar

 

Ah, I see this appears to be on the opposite side from 1A connector on the Access Cab trucks. ....

 

I'm so sorry for being so late to return my results! Unfortunately, I was working on the truck in a time crunch, so I didn't get any video/photographic evidence of the job. But I can confirm that in the 3 hours it took me, the OC480 worked great on my SR5 DC.

It was a very simple job, hardest part was putting the visors back in as they were brittle being 16 years old.
But it's all plug and play. I simply disassembled the driver's side and the front of the passenger side so I can pull the headliner down far enough without damaging it, and from there I worked backwards from the dome light to the fuse panel following the wiring.

I don't have the auto dimming mirror or light up visors so those plugs are left tucked and taped (for now).

But the plug behind the speedometer was just hanging out and was remarkably easy to spot once I moved the speedo over towards the right. for the ic7 or ic5? I can't remember the name of the connector. Anyway, it all clipped in very nicely and now I have compass, temp and homelink in my beloved Tundra.

You guys rule. I just want to say thank you for all of your help!

 

Man, I'd have loved pics of the location of that ic5/7 connector and where it's hanging. Glad to hear it worked out seamlessly for you!

 

For me it was literally right behind the gauge cluster. The second I removed the bezel and the the four screws anchoring the cluster down, I simply pulled it out and moved it over to the right and it was just sitting there with nothing attached to it.

I'll see if I can get a picture of it.

 

That pic is part of the "Overhead Console install" pdf in post #36 that @Konniekay91 posted earlier. It's also the same location where my 04 DC was.

 

Nice. I'm motivated to pull my cluster and see if I have any spare clips back there for the '05-'06 AC trucks

 

So I got the dash open and headliner down, installing my ebay harness to gain the compass and temp, things are going pretty well. The new harness has this connector (see pic stolen from another thread) for the auto dim mirror, but the other end of those 2 wires are just cut. The wires are pretty long, just a bit longer than where the harness connects to the fuse block. But where do they go to???

 

I believe they'd probably terminate to the bulkead behind the gauge cluster, but I'm not fully clear on that. I'm not sure the OEM DC roof harness I bought off fleaBay had those terminated in the way you're describing though.

 

Hmmm. Interesting. Hooked up the new overhead console and i get heading (yea). But only 3 dashes for the temp (boo)??? I installed the correct thermocouple next to the pass side horn. I made the connection from the harness behind the gauge cluster. I even wire brushed the connectors at the horn after 18 years of oxidation. Still nothing.

 

Also this, my harness came from truck with dvd player where the dome light is. Im reinstalling the dome light so i snagged that connector and wires from the old harness. There are 4 wires total: 2 black, 1 red, 1 tan. Is it safe to presume the 2 blacks are ground and the red and tan are both positive? Then I can tap right into the map lights for power and ground.

 

@BubbaW mentioned something about wire positions in one of these threads which I think is definitely applicable to your situation, like you need to re-pin a couple of wires. It may even be this thread...

 

Trying to sniff out why my temp is not reading on console, i just get 3 dashes. Shouldn't i expect to have continuity from this plug to the plug on the grill where the thermocouple is? I get no continuity.

 

if I recall, that’s just a two-wire resistive circuit. As long as the wires are attached to the sensor, and the circuit reads resistance of the sensor, it should see a signal. I think it should just work if the polarity is correct. I want to say the wires are green and grey, respectively not a lot to it, I think, as long as the pin out is same. Did you test for continuity in each wire?

 

Yes, checked both wires.

 

What year and cab model (AC/RC or DC?) is your truck?
