1x light blue cable and

2x white with black line

[DuGong]

ok ok ok...

white wire with the black line is ground...

is green illum?

[JJCRU23R]

geez im kinda unfamiliar with the electricals around the steering column...

i guess you could wire it up to the stereo.. since there is wiring diagrams of our stock head units on here somewhere.

i got it...

white with the black line is ground

the illum was the light blue color.. (Baby blue colour)

in the US work shop manual it was stated as green... tested it. it works.

I run the looms to the guage sender etc through the large rubber grommet in the kick panel area.

This requires the removal of the inner splash guard from the wheel arch to access the grommet, but it is by far the cleanest and safest way to route the loom.

Once you get the loom from the cabin through the grommet, you can run it to the rear of the bay or the front of the bay through either of the loom holes in the engine bay that go through to the inner guard area.

You can cable tie the loom to the body loom that runs along the top of the inner guard cavity.

That's how we ran the looms on MAP81's ZZE and all my other toyota's.
