Toyota History + Fuse Box Wiring
What started as a wooden handloom textile machine manufacturer in 1890, would become one of Japan’s largest automotive manufacturers. Sakichi Toyoda, the founder of Toyota Industries Corporation, built the first automobile of its kind in 1935. Fast forward to 2024, approximately 11.23 million vehicles were sold globally. The iconic Camry and Corolla are their top-selling models worldwide. Nearly 200,000 vehicles were delivered in Canada alone!
With so many Toyota vehicles in Canada, you can bet we’ve worked on your model before. As technology advanced to make cars more gas efficient, many manufacturers including Toyota migrated to the use of low-profile fuses. Smaller fuses meant reduced height and weight, allowing for less metal materials required to build a fuse box. Below is a common Toyota fuse box covered by a nicely printed plastic cover.
As nice as the cover may be, this poses a challenge for additional electrical accessories. The fuse box is often located above the footrest or clutch pedal aka the millennial anti-theft. As professionals, we hardwire your camera by splicing it into existing circuits in the vehicle.
Other professionals may proceed with fuse taps, however, the fuse tap sticks out like a sore thumb; and can easily become dislodged accidentally with a foot. That cover with all the fuse markings? Well, that can no longer be used due to the added height. Our installation methods ensure whoever peeks under the dash, can’t tell any modifications have been done to your vehicle.
