I just wrapped up doing an evaporator swap this morning. I started the truck to ill/ burp the cooling system and there are several lights on the dash lit up:

Cruise
KDSS (not a kdss GX)
blinking battery light
oil light comes on when the door opens (weird)
Low fuel light
no gauges work, (The engine temp, gas gauge and tach don't work. I didn't drive it so I couldn't test the speedo.

I checked the connectors on the back of the gauge cluster and they are tight.

In the assembly process, I came across 2 connectors that I could not find a mate to:

1) above the ignition lock, behind the dash. It's right next to the pink-wrapped main power harness coming off the ignition. Its a white connector, only about 3" long. It has 5 wires in it:
Black
Yellow
White/ Black tracer
Green
Green/ Yellow tracer
The green and green/yellow are smaller gauge wires, like many of the signal wires in the harnesses. The Black, Black/ Yellow and White/Black are a heavier gauge wire.

2) Under the center console, a white connector, to the left of the yaw sensor box. There is another larger plug directly below it that it is attached to. They both share a mounting point and clip to the center console.

Any ideas?

Thanks a ton!

I looked for a 3rd time and can find nothing that would plug into these 2 connectors. Could it be a loose ground somewhere or could the computers be out of whack by having the battery disconnected for several days and they need codes cleared?

I'm not sure, but the one with the larger wires could be a prewire for a trailer brake controller. They often have a couple of larger wires to handle the current to the electric brakes on the trailer.

Oh, I see. I wonder if I put a test light on those terminals and hit the brake pedal, if the light would come on....?

I'm wondering if the one under the console could be for the rear-seat entertainment system that was optional. Mine doesn't have that option, though.
