I wish I had a pic but I don't so here goes.......

Beside the drivers side battery is bank of rectangular plugs.

The black plug (pretty sure its the top plug) as four or six (?) wires into it. You would have unplugged the Auto loom from this one.

On the plug, there are two wires that are heavier gauge than the others. You need to loop those two together to make the circut. Just use a 50mm section of wire and two spade terminals. That will tell everything that the trucks in park or neutral and turn the start inhibitor off.

I can get Toyoda to take a Pic of what I did to his if required :D :D

All good mate, pretty happy with the conversion although loosing 400 rpm from the auto to manual in top gear at 100kph is going to take a little getting used to, oh well better put some 35's on to compensate

Always surprises me the lack of difference in gearing between 4 and 5th!

I know,and theres such a big jump from 2nd to 3rd,manual is great with 35's though,engine braking much better also.
