    You can kind of get to it when you need to, it's not great. I definitely don't use free spool much, I let the winch out slow-like most of the time

    Digging your build. On your fridge slide, how did you anchor it to the bed? What slides did you use?

    Working on fixing an issue

    @TundraTex maybe you can offer some insight here. I had the frac harness working for a couple of years as intended. Recently I had rodent damage that required ecu replacement. The ecu was replaced with a new Toyota ecu of matching part number and reprogrammed with my Vin.
    This rodent damage also impacted wires in the engine bay around the headlights. It is unknown if the front and rear cameras were functioning after recent rodent damage and before ecu replacement, but after ecu replacement, cameras do not engage automatically in reverse or manually. It's not even a black screen, the radio doesn't change at all.

    As far as i can see it, it's not likely that the rodent damaged two independent camera wires and that maybe going in behind the glove box for the ecu replacement dislodged frac harness wires. I'm also unsure if maybe the backup camera has to be initially enabled manually in ecu settings? My research on that is conflicting and inconclusive.

    I was hoping you'd have some insight on if the head unit should still switch to something like a black screen if the cameras are damaged and if the behavior told you anything that could help me pinpoint what's going wrong here. Ty and thank you for your continued support of the frac harness. I was so glad to see you found someone to keep producing them.

    The issue is likely due to the battery being disconnected during repair. Try this reset process.

    With the ignition off, select the rear camera with the FRAC switch. Then with the switch in the rear cam position start the engine. This should result in the rear cam video being displayed and normal operation should resume.

    let me know how this works out.
