Where to Find Stoplight Switch When Installing 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser
Question:
I’m at the UHaul place Trying to get this installed and the installer is having trouble with the last wire so that it is automatically activated. Thanks!

Sounds like you are looking for help finding where the red wire of the brake controller you are trying to install in your 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser needs to run to. This circuit needs to be connected to a circuit that only sees voltage when the brakes are applied. When we installed a brake controller in a 2008 FJ Cruiser we found that the wire needed was green with a yellow stripe of the wires that run to the brake pedal switch. See attached part 2 install video around the 8:45 second mark.
