Yep, updated/superceded style only readily available nowadays. The earlier design with the fiddly l shaped brackets allowed a lot of pivoting possibilities

Man. Totally frustrated today.
I got the 4 position light switch installed.
It works great but only to the rear harness and to the dimmer switch on the floor.
It’s like the entire front harness is just dead. No park, flasher or headlight power.

Looks like I have the RG and RW backwards.

Does that new switch have any markings on it? RW is coming from the battery (fuse).
This is how Toyota did it -
However, being a presumably aftermarket switch you want to check continuity between poles and figure out the supply and load that way.

@ToyotaMatt is sending me a NOS dimmer switch. I’m pretty sure that may be what’s keeping me from getting low beam power to the front of the truck.
Cowboy was not interested
I’ve chased all the leads I have and I think that is my log jam.
I also went as far as laying out the old harness and the Yemen harness and considered starting over but I think that’s a pre mature idea.
I have an email out to @Coolerman to see if he can actually draw me a diagram for this harness. It does not quite add up to the one from his site I’m using.
That is until the real work started then Cowboy was all in

Did you ever figure out your fuel line harmony? I have that same god awful squeal. Looks like we are using the same or very similar aluminum dual line separators too.
I had asked a member if they could try 3D printing me some nylon separators; I should check back on that.

Nope. Still there. Not as bad but there. With or without the separators. I even added rubber where anything may touch the engine.
I have 4 2GC setups with dual hard lines.
2 are silent. One I had to remove the return line and replace it with a soft line.
This one I’m not sure yet but it’s not going to Florida making noise.

If I remove all my separators the noise goes away. I’m about there…. It’s pretty awesome when people are looking and asking questions “sweet 40, is that efi” then turn the key to prime and it sounds like a a hummingbird sat on its own nuts.

I removed the feed hard line and replaced it with a rubber line wrapped in head shield.
No noise.

Moved on from the front light situation until the NOS foot switch
I was going to use an old single position wiper switch but I decided to dissect out the new style plug and harness with bullets from the old harness. I loomed it up and now we have working wipers and a modern switch
Then I moved to the back. This harness will get you close but I had to add all the side marker and plate lights. Both brake lights work now.
Rear is DONE

Yesterday I took off a couple and moved the other separators to see if it’d make a difference. I was happy to have no squeal at prime, but started squealing when running at all rpm’s.
