The connector(s) for the new mirror: There's an 18 pin, and what appears to be a coax connector? Unfortunately I don't know what year truck this came off. Ideally I'd like to find a wiring diagram for this new mirror and just swap the connector over from the old one. I'd like to maintain the...

Hey all, I recently had an incident involving the side of my garage which ended with me needing a new mirror. Found one on Ebay, same color code, advertised as folding, heated, etc. No biggie right? Figured it would be an easy afternoon install. Well the mirror arrived today and I got to it...

That's a fair point. I figured if something was to grenade it wouldn't likely be a part of the locker itself, but more likely driveshaft or ring gear. I suppose you never know though. I think I'll end up going with an Eaton unit in the rear after all.

Hey all, Tldr: looking for tips on where I can buy a TJM prolocker for a toyota 9.5", 32 spline diff. Part number : 168pl02 Im looking to get a locker for the rear of my 98 lx470. I really like the prolocker from TJM for a bunch of reasons, however, as of August 2024 it seems like they've...

Yep! That part connector and pins is a direct fit. As far as I can tell these are either actually oem parts, or if not they're a very good copy. No complaints!

Wow, you're a saint. Thanks for such a detailed writeup.

Do you have an updated link for this resource? I'm trying to diagnose/understand the AHC system on my '98 LX and this sounds exactly what I'm looking for. Link returns a 404 though :(

Super helpful, thank you both! A rear locker may in the cards in the future. I've heard that the front diff is a bit more fragile though, so I was thinking of doing an upgrade up there first, and just rebuilding the LSD in the rear to keep cost down.

Oops, you're right! It's a '98 LX470. I did manage to hunt down what it's for though! Basically, I backreferenced the connector that the cruise control wires run though, and was able to trace it down that way. Turns out it's a switch to activate the mic for the optional built-in cell phone...

Hey all, I've done a bit of digging, but I can't for the life of me figure out what this connector coming out of the clock spring is wired for. It's a black and green wire going into the same connector as the horn and cruise control. The backstory is that I'm building a custom head unit and...

It works! Wow it really has been a while since I posted my original message. (Sorry bout that) The kit took a couple weeks to arrive but it plugs right in as you'd expect. For posterity the link is here: 6098-0903 - Yazaki | 050U-22P-1 - Corsa Technic | 22-Way Kit -...

Thanks a bunch @PabloCruise for doing all the detective work. For this that are curious about an adapter harness for the LX470 stereo, I found this kit from Corsa-Technic: 050U-22P-1 22-Way Kit It claims to be a drop in replacement for Toyota 90980-11503, and also includes the crimp contacts...

I know this is an old thread but... Does anyone have any information on rebuilding these LSDs? I have a '98 LX with the LSD, but after 250,000+ miles it doesn't do a whole lot any more. I've been digging around on Toyota/Lexus dealer sites to try and track down part numbers for the spring...
