As continued from post 629 here's a list of the signals present in the harness under the scuff plate along the right side of the vehicle for an '01 with the JBL premium stereo (good chance is the same for '02/'03, but not for the non-JBL): Wire Color Description blue/yellow +12V * white/black GND green/yellow Remote shielded black Line-level FL shielded white Line-level FR shielded red Line-level RL shielded green Line-level RR shielded yellow Line-level common/return pink Speaker-level FL+ violet Speaker-level FL- green Speaker-level FR+ blue Speaker-level FR- black Speaker-level RL+ ** yellow Speaker-level RL- ** red Speaker-level RR+ white Speaker-level RR- Connectors on the power amp behind the back seat: Connector/Pin Description B/7 +12V * B/12 GND A/1 Remote A/5 Line-level FL A/6 Line-level FR A/13 Line-level RL A/14 Line-level RR A/11 Line-level common/return B/2 Speaker-level FL+ B/9 Speaker-level FL- B/1 Speaker-level FR+ B/8 Speaker-level FR- B/4 Speaker-level RL+ B/11 Speaker-level RL- B/3 Speaker-level RR+ B/10 Speaker-level RR- * Goes to "25A RADIO NO. 1" fuse in fuse block in engine compartment. ** As mentioned in post 629 to my recollection these lines are actually not present in the harness but are included here for completeness. Also just realized, and not mentioned in post 629, that I must have tapped into the area of the harness just rearward of the A pillar in order to have access to the RR speaker lines coming from the power amp. |

| Our window sticker had "Tow Prep Package & Converter (3500 lbs)" listed. Notified Toyota.com and they instructed the dealer to install the converter. At first Toyota resisted, but it clearly indicated that the converter is included. | |

| Has anyone added the automatic rear liftgate from the Lexus? If so, how much did it cost and did you install it yourself? | |

Hi! I wanted to change the fog light bulb on the car and on the sylvania site it said it took a H3 bulb but when i took the bulb out from the fog light housing, it said it was a H3D(which looks like an H3 but with H7 plug). Did anyone find a replacement bulb? |

Replying to: shawn (Feb 25, 2004 8:41 am) I have the receipt and window sticker for the 2004 Highlander tow prep package, and the brochure clearly states that "trailer prewiring" is included. But, it's not there. Both the dealership and toyota.com are giving me the runaround. By the way I owned a 2001 Highlander and installer the hitch myself, there is no plastic box on the 2004, the spare is there.

Replying to: hljoe (Apr 12, 2004 2:55 pm) We apologize for the confusion surrounding the towing converter, transmission cooler, and wiring harness on your 2004 Highlander. We would like the opportunity to further review your concerns. Please provide us with a copy of your receipts and Monroney Label (window sticker). You may either fax the documentation to 310-381-7813, or you can mail them to: Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. 19001 South Western Avenue. Department WC11 Torrance, CA 90509 We will be in touch with you shortly thereafter. Thank you for contacting Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. We appreciate the opportunity to address your inquiry. According to our records, you contacted us by telephone on April 9, 2004 regarding your Highlander. At that time we advised that you should look for a male jack connector with orange, brown, light blue wires. In addition we referred you to your local Toyota dealership for further assistance if the male connector cannot be found. Your email has been documented at our National Headquarters under file #200404020415. If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact us. We appreciate the opportunity to address your inquiry and apologize that our website did not offer additional information on pre-wiring. Trailer pre-wiring enables the optional towing electronics to plug into the vehicle. The optional towing electronics would include, for example, the converter and wiring harness. It has been our pleasure to assist you with the information you requested. Your email has been documented at our National Headquarters under file #200404121335. If we can be of further assistance, please feel free contact us via contact us. or by calling 800-331-4331. We are available from 6 AM to 6 PM, Pacific Standard Time, Monday through Friday. Thank you for contacting Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. We appreciate the opportunity to address your inquiry. The pre-wiring for the tow package on the 2004 Highlander is located internally within the body of the vehicle. In order for the pre-wire to be utilized, the wiring harness and converter would need to be installed. Your email has been documented at our National Headquarters under file #200404121335. If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact us. Thank you for updating Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. We apologize that our previous response did not directly answer your inquiry. According to our research, the 2004 Highlander with the Towing Prep Package option (as yours has) does not include the converter box found in previous model year Highlanders. If you were to purchase the Toyota towing hitch, which is supplied with a wiring connector, you would still need to purchase the converter box separately. We apologize if this has caused you any confusion or inconvenience. Please discuss your towing needs with the Customer Relations Manager at Northway Motor Car for possible options or alternatives. Your file #200404140104 has been updated with this email at our National Headquarters. If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact us. Thank you for your patience and understanding. |

| i just bought a 2004 highlander and was wondering if i could get the side airbags installed after market. sorry if that's a stupid question but my wife is bugging me about it | |

I've read the posts about others' experience with the non-existent "trailer prewiring" in the '04 Highlander. I spoke with the customer relations people at Toyota and was told my concerns would be passed on to higher management but not to expect a reply. I bought a Hidden Hitch unit at etrailer.com and paid my local mechanic $18 to install it. I had to buy the Toyota harness from my dealer for $38 plus tax. I installed it myself with no problems. I'm curious if anyone has had success getting Toyota to pay for the harness. It seems to me this is a blatant case of false advertising since the brochure clearly states the prewiring is included in the trailer tow package. I intend to persue this issue with Toyota so any and all responses would be appreciated.
