Where to Run the Ground Wire of a Tekonsha Plug-In Harness # 3040-P on a 2005 Toyota 4Runner
Question:
Got the P3 and wiring harness. Plug and play part is easy but that white ground? Any idea fr a good ground location for my vehicle. Looked under and do see several metal bolts holding brackets but nothing looks like frame to attach. Want to be sure I get this right.

When we installed this Tekonsha Harness # 3040-P in a 2004 Toyota 4Runner similar to your 2005 we used a trim panel bolt and it worked fine. If you check out the video I attached you can see exactly what bolt I am referring to.
I also attached a pic that I took from the video that shows the bolt and the wire as well. Fast forward to the 1:30 area to see the portion of the video that deals with the ground wire.
