    I power washed my truck on my driveway and found this connector where the truck was parked for two or three hours after the truck was moved. Pretty sure it was not there before since it is right under my security camera. Googled and it seems to be a mc4 connector for solar panel. But how it got underneath my truck is a puzzle to me. Is such a kind of connector used by Tundra?

    That’s a transmission cooler from a 2019. Is yours a 2019?

    Yes, it is a 2019. So maybe somehow I broke it when using power washer? Where should it be located?

    Are you sure it isn’t from your pressure washer?

    It's too big. You should need a SEM at minimum to see it.

    There should be a small stainless steel tubular spacer about 1/4" long that would have also fallen off of your truck at the same time. You really need to locate that before you proceed.

    Make sure you get your load on it before you disconnect.

    Have you verified that you don't have the solar powered transmission cooler?

    This is the connector used for cooling the transmission with your pressure washer when under a full load. It use the battery operated solar panel to power the thermostat puck located on the transmission. DO NOT DISCONNECT UNDER LOAD!

    Probably only the plastic nipple on the passenger exhaust header. Mine broke off while I was using a car wash wand applying the 3 layer clear coat protection to keep my puck shining.

    Plastic nipple? Mine fell off when going down the freeway. This was due to the exhaust manifold melting. I just use PVC pipe now, well CPVC because of the high heat.

    Maybe it bounced up from the road and was in your undercarriage - fell out while washing the truck. Good to know it isn't anything truck related

    Also a great prop for giving the newbie a warm and quite funny welcoming!!!! Thanks for your honesty, poor guy might have to climb up a ladder and locate the real issue. Wind and or Sun might have affected his system.
