What type of Taco do you have? TRD? 4WD? 4cyl or V6?

Iv'e got a 4x4 v-6&5-spdw trd option.the push button for locker reads"rrlocking diff".Ive heard,that by grounding the grey wire a guy can make the locker work in 2wd,which is desireable here in Coos Bay,as we have an off-roading park known as the oregon dunes.I remember seeing the article on this site,butSOME_BUDDY blanked all previous entries out when they updated the site settings.thanks for any help that may be provided.G.G

Greg, I'll try and pull up the old database tonight for the old forums and see if I can get the information. If not, I should be able to do it this weekend.

Greasy... I found a full set of instructions and photos on how to perform your "Grey Wire" modification to turn on your e-Locker while in two wheel drive.

Take your browser to: http://www.tn-ttora.com/newsite/mods/TacomaGrayWireLockerMod.html

Hope this helps!

One of our techs at the dealership just used one in his front of his mini truck, and eliminated the computer altogether. I can get you the wiring diagram if you want it. :)

Can you scan it and upload it to the forums for all of us?
