Toyota Aftermarket Push Button Switch Wires Explained

Adding aftermarket push button switches to your rig and don't know what all the wires are for? I was confused at first as well, but this should hopefully give you some insight. The use of a relay is highly recommended.

you have no idea how much of a lifesaver this video has been, trying to find those switches for ages but haven't seen any in the UK cheaper than at least £30 per switch, that site you linked did them for £6.90. thank you so much!!

Can you show how to connect with the other wire set? Maybe a relay attached as well, thank you

Thanks alot man! I do have Sequoia 2011 without Traction push Button, would tell us how we can install aftermarket push button with another tutorial video? keep in mind most of Sequoia 2nd Gen does not come with Traction/VSC push button

[@RM-rz3ph]

Thank you Sir

[@AlchmstDsgn]

Can you essentially solder green and red2 together and put them through the add a fuse? Red1 to a relay, and black to ground?

[@XanderTube360]

What size inline fuse do you think I should use?

[@tawanthomas8089]

What about needing to go through a relay then to grill marker lights?

[@AdrianSeychell]

Hi there, I have just installed a roof LED Light Bar but wish to change the switch to an OEM. The issue is the original switch wire that comes with the harness has only 2 wires. I'm so confused as all videos show 3 wires, can this be done still??. Also this is my second Bar can this run separately or they both need to work together? Thanks

[@walterbarcelon5021]

Kindly give idea how use that switch button connect to DRL turning light signal.

[@firstnamelastname9661]

I have exact switch you have with 2 red 1 green and 1 black. I need to connect to a Amazon Nilight wire system that has a switch with black , red and white wires

[@KamotoSam]

Have you seen the ones that have 2 buttons on one switch? It has 5 wires

[@1997LT1Camaro]

My light bar on my tundra came with a relay harness. I have it hooked up and the switch is a generic 3 prong rocker switch (with led). My new push switch has 4 wires. The 3 prong switch has positive and negative and a blue wire which I’m assuming is sending 12v to relay? So I’m assuming the extra wire is for tail lamp fuse and night time running. I was wondering why 4 wires….

[@originalg00kster]

I am in the same boat and trying to figure it out. So positive to green, blue wire to red 1 and then ground to black? 2nd red wire would just be for switch led light, whether you want it always on or with accessories.

[@tanktankerson1042]

Nicely done Bud! Do we ever have "enough" switches on our FJs? I don't think so :-)

[@LiL13izzy7]

They left us enough switch blanks for a reason, didn't they?

[@bfurl69]

Can i use the power from an add a circuit to connect to multiple switches(to turn on the light with the headlights)? I have one hooked up and it works great, but i want to add a new button for my light bar…

[@LiL13izzy7]

Yes, I'm doing the same thing, where I tap into the same add-a-circuit line to power Red2 from other switches in order to illuminate them as well.

[@XeviousGG]

So on my Nissan Sentra I don't have a spot for more rocker switches, is it possible to wire a different switch type? For example a round one?

[@LiL13izzy7]

This is such an open ended question because you could wire a switch to anything. There are so many different kinds of switches too (round is just a shape). What is your accessory that you're trying to run?

[@denizv99]

Do you have the diagram for the 2nd set of wiring harness with the blue wire?

[@LiL13izzy7]

It's the exact same

[@galaxydrifter9799]

Just wondering, does the have to be connected to the negative battery terminal or can it be grounded anywhere on a car

[@LiL13izzy7]

Anywhere on the car

[@dunnkruger8825]

Thanks

[@LiL13izzy7]

👍👍

[@jonathanrawson4727]

I purchased this same switch but with 6 wires. Do you know what the other 2 wires would be for?

[@LiL13izzy7]

I don't. Did it come with a diagram at the back of the packaging?

[@kwgodkwlimit]

Can I just use just only two wire and cut other two use the green and the black?

[@LiL13izzy7]

Yes, if you don't want to illuminate the switch

[@user-im3th1es7j]

I bought a push in switch for my tacoma. Switch has a green, white, black and red wire. Not sure which wire goes where.

[@LiL13izzy7]

Check the orientation of the switch and compare it to the diagram I have. In my video, I showed a second wiring harness with different colors, but they correspond to the same thing as the other harness.

[@cmscustoms4400]

I’ve been trying to hook up that same usb with an add a fuse to my Acc fuse and it’s not working. I don’t want a button to give it power. I just want it to turn on when I turn the truck key to On position. Help?

[@LiL13izzy7]

Try to flip the prongs the other way and plug it in again. I did a straight USB port install here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4myk5uDhpWqedE

[@cmscustoms4400]

@@LiL13izzy7 I tried that. Wires are all good, in-line fuse and fuses are good. I tested them on the battery with the usb charger all the way up to the add a fuse tap. Possible that my add a fuse tap is bad??

[@MyOffroadLED]

Good

[@LiL13izzy7]

👍

[@mikekramer4886]

Can you put links in the description?

[@LiL13izzy7]

Done!

[@ayodangit]

Green = IN, Red 1 = OUT to close the loop? Red2 and Black is just for the switch itself to light up?

[@LiL13izzy7]

Yes, exactly

[@ayodangit]

@@LiL13izzy7 thanks, i plan to use it for backup sensors but wanting to use the in/out with the ground and the power will be based on the reverse lights

[@TheKonakairay]

My indicator light stays on constantly. Anyone know why ? Please help .

[@LiL13izzy7]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZO7nH-teLhoadE maybe this will help. Without knowing how you wired everything, it sounds to me like you might have connected red 2 to the battery as well.

[@richardpelican8533]

I have that other AOB switch with the red, black, green and blue wires. I have a harness from Lasfit with red, black and yellow wires. I want to have the Light bar turn off when the headlights are off, and I want the bottom of the switch to illuminate with the rest of the switches at night. Could you please tell me the easiest way to do this. Thank you.

[@LiL13izzy7]

Regardless of the color of the wires, the orientation should match up to the same diagram (the harness should be interchangeable with the switches I believe). Anyway, I think the purpose of the switch is to be able to control your light bar independently of your headlights (otherwise, why have the switch in the first place?) As far as the switch light illuminating with the others at night, I used an add-a-circuit to connect Red 2 (or whatever color line is in that 3rd position on your switch harness), to the tail circuit. When I turn the headlights on and off, the switch illuminates with the console switches. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nniremasnNCJbtk

[@southcreekoutfitters]

I am so stumped. Just messaged you on Instagram.

[@surslaughter3524]

My relay clicks. All wiring is new… faulty relay?

[@LiL13izzy7]

Maybe a loose part.

[@surslaughter3524]

@@LiL13izzy7 everything is connected securely.

[@surslaughter3524]

@@LiL13izzy7 no I went back with a test light and the red wire that goes from the relay to the lights has no current. Keys on or when switch is pressed. Nothing. So I ordered a better harness

[@surslaughter3524]

New harness did the trick. I my only issue now is after following the installation instructions, the light on my switch stays on even when the car is off. I feel like it will end up killing my battery in time. I tried tapping into a fuse that only turns on when the car is on but I had no lights. Only way I can get them to work is by tapping into a fuse that is hot at all times. I tapped into my power windows fuse. They don’t work when the car is off, but there is a current obviously when it’s off because the fog lights will turn on and the switch has power. Any idea how to remedy this? Or as long as I just don’t forget to turn them off, will this not cause much of a power draw?

[@rdl7309]

​@surslaughter3524 I have the same problem. Light on switch on all the time any way you got around this ?
