Wiring diagram connector locations

hi

I subscribed to the Toyota Manuals site for 24hrs (12hrs left!) to get some wiring diagrams for my facelifted 150 GXL.

I've found the diagrams (and a heap of other stuff). But... how do I know where the connectors are? Is there something I'm missing - some sort of drawing of where each one is located?

Ok, I can answer this one myself! They are there in the wiring diagram section...

Background - you can pay $16.50 and get 24hrs access to the workshop manuals for all Toyota's. It's really painful to use and needs Internet Explorer 6-8 to work properly. I was initially using IE10 which sort of works. I tried using Firefox with the user agent set to IE6 and that didn't really work. In the end I had to find an old XP machine - once you use the right browser it works much better!

Saving the docs is really painful - there isn't the option to just save the whole manual as a PDF. You have to go and print each page/section to a PDF. So make sure you set aside some time and have a PDF printer installed.

For some of the electrical drawings you'll find that the PDFs are numbered sequentially - you can copy/paste the URL and increment the numbers manually to make things faster. eg the files are called drawing1.pdf, drawing2.pdf, etc.

I know now a lot more about my 150 series! I have some ideas on "special" mods to do when I get a chance (probably never... but I can always dream).

Any chance you can share this combined pdf for the prado 150?

Thanks

There wasn't a combined PDF on the Toyota site that I used back in 2015. You used to be able to get it on CD from eBay - perhaps that would help.
