I’m trying to find a drivers side wire that goes 12v with the headlights on and 0v with the headlights off. Passenger side I was able to tap the window control but the driver side illuminates under different circumstances. Here’s a picture of the kick panel connectors, I’m curious if there’s schematics or if anyone knows.

I’m installing Lexusacc.com advanced mirror turn signals that have a DRL and it needs to tap into something that’s in sync with the headlights. On passenger side the window switch works but it’s different on the driver side.

 

If you be more specific re what signal you are looking for I could try to look it up.

P.S. I still owe you for the wallet card tip.

 

Here is the full workshop/service manual for '14 ES300h if you want to try to figure out the schematic yourself. If should be mostly identical for your '15 ES300h.

Just unzip the package and then open index.html with Internet Explorer (or Edge in "Internet Explorer" mode).

 

the signal I’m looking for is essentially the headlight/DRL signal. I suppose I can tap any interior button that backlights when the lights go on. My wire comes from the side mirror, into the door, as these are upgraded mirror cap turn signals. The passenger side window-switch/unlock is illuminated with the headlights, but the driver side is illuminated if the car is on, period. So I think I need to bring that wire thru that door grommet and find a tap in the cabin.

thanks for what I assume are schematics. I will check them on my laptop shortly

seems I forgot to link my 5 min YT video explaining the situation, I posted it in the Lighting forums bc I initially thought ES owners don’t really tinker too much to have a good answer. But it should have a similar title and show up in the recommended threads.

I am on Mac so I can't open in IE/Edge and I didn't think that would be an issue but it's not working properly. In Chrome/Firefox, if I open the main index.html, I get a screen to choose vehicle year & model from dropdowns but they are empty and I can't select anything to proceed

So I started poking around the folders. In Data>LEXUS>ES300H>2014, there's 4 folders and each of those has their own index.html. Those work and this info is amazing!

I have so far found the torque spec for the steering wheel (I recently got an aftermarket steering wheel) and removing headliner (plan to do starlight headliner)

I have to poke around more to find specific lighting wiring but I will update when I get through everything.

Where does one get this? I know about techinfo.toyota.com, but that only had the owner's manual, not this technical info.

 

Microsoft Edge is available on MacOS.

This manual is the same as what you get at techinfo.toyota.com after paying for access. You may be confusing it with the Toyota owner's site - the latter only has the owner's manuals.

 

I don't see an Internet Explorer Mode on Mac Edge, and it's not working. Maybe one has to run the setup_x86.exe which will not work on Mac. I will continure poking around manually and let ya know what I find.

 

Well, you mostly missing just the front page that links to the 4 other "index.html" files that you already can access - so no big deal. It also explains what those CR, EWD, NCF and RM abbreviations in the directory names are.

However you are also missing the "search" box which is sometimes comes handy.

BTW, access to these manuals and Techstream is what gradually making me into exclusive Toyota-Lexus user. That and hybrid powertrains.

 

I set up a VirtualBox Win10 VM and it still won't work in Edge or IE :/ Could really use search but I will just read everything in the EWD dir...

 

If you're on Windows this works

Should work on Mac via virtual machine.

 

Have you clicked on "allow active content" when loading the page? It will not work without it.

 

where is that option? I didn’t see anything of the sort

 

It was probably displayed the first time you loaded index.html in internet explorer mode:



If it does not show up anymore you can re-enable it here (control panel -> internet options):

 

I'm on on Mac and use Brave mostly. The "index.html" files don't work on Brave or Safari. Strange. However, they work on Firefox. Here is a snap.

 

I have enabled in the internet options and it still does not work. This is in a Windows 10 VM, I have currently got a Win 7 VM booted up but IE is not working right. I can oddly browse ClubLexus with no issues, but I can't download the gofile link, I can't access dropbox, I can't even download Chrome. Gonna keep tinkering, maybe something will work.

I am on Mac and use Firefox primarily, it didn't work on Safari, FF or Chrome.
