    Replacing rear hatch, different wiring?

    Long story short: I got hit on the freeway on the rear end, and the hatch needs to be replaced. I purchased a used 4th gen rear hatch that was in decent condition on ebay. I noticed that the original wiring in the vehicle only has a single 12-pin pigtail, I believe 9 pins are being used...

    That's worth a try. Some sort of tape maybe? I'll give that a shot and see what happens. Thanks

    Dash back light comes on when braking + rear hatch light flickering

    My dash back light (NOT parking brake light) comes on every single time I brake. Anyone had any issues with this? Also, just noticed today that the door ajar warning light flickers when I drive, and I found out it's coming from the rear hatch. If I open and close it, it turns off, but continues...

    Can you identify this elbow?

    Dang. I had a feeling it was a part of the housing. Since I can't afford a new intake right now, looks like it's the junkyard or JB plastic weld that will have to suffice for now. Thanks guys!

    Replaced starter, now I have a grinding noise at start up.

    99 5vz-fe Went out to start the vehicle the other day, and it would click, but wouldn't crank. Checked the battery, and starter relay, both were good. Decided its most likely the starter, so I ordered one from rockauto. The brand is Power Select. I put it in today without any real issues. Made...

    Replacing radiator + hoses + thermostat

    Just found the inconspicuous leak that these stock radiators get on the bottom of the passenger side tank. I'll be purchasing the denso radiator off rock auto. I'm curious if the aftermarket upper and lower hoses are safe ex. dayco, continental, gates, etc. I also own a 99 tacoma, and had an...
