I have a T100 and bought all factory service manuals($137.00 for all - Toyota ripped me off).
These things pay for themselves and I have bought some for each car I have ever owned.
Anyway, I believe my manual indicates a special relay is used for this daytime light function(for Canada models at the time). Look for a relay panel(usually either the drivers left foot wall or the engine compartment - there are more than one panel in Toyotas). The relay may be labeled, or its socket when unplugged. Unplug it and see if anything else associated with the lighting system is effected.
Good luck and let us know if you find one that works.
parking brake method is used i know for a fact on blazers.

My friend's Blazer's turn signal blinkers are bugged out though, the clicking when you turn them on the signals comes from under the glove box! haha!
Also on my silverado when i put it in park like at a RR xing (this morning when i got stopped for example) the DRL's go off so they dont blind anyone.

I have only used this system once (4th of July fireworks display) so 99.9999% of the time I just let the auto-light feature do its job.

austlar123 - Just like the Sienna, turn the headlight switch off, put it in park, set the brake, turn off the engine, then restart. No headlights should come on until you put it in gear and/or release the brake. Just like z71bill suggested in post #60. Probably the same 3rd-party system. The same part in a Toyota and a Cheverolet? Commonality? Maybe. You guys should check it out.
Oh, and here's a good Tundra vs Silverado link I got from another board:

Enjoy!
Sadly, it doesn't look like the back seat is improved. I have been staring at the pictures for the last 20 minutes. At first, it looked like there was a slight recline to it but now I think this is an illusion of a tilted camera.
There are two new colors. We now have desert sand and silver sky. These replace the gold and platinum colors. The desert sand looks very nice without the shocking gold of last year and the silver doesn't have the baby blue hue that platinum did.
There are also a couple of new accessories coming including tubular running boards (they had this in the Southeast region last year), electric mirror with compass and temp, color keyed bumpers on the Limited and a note pad holder.
I wasn't referring to the DRLs since they wouldn't impact the guards during the day. I was actually thinking more of the auto headlights that the GM trucks have (that are activated at dusk by sensors)and cannot be disabled by the driver on the '99 models. Does the Tundra have a similar feature which can't be deactivated by the driver?
The entrance to every military installation that I have entered has a sign posted to reduce to parking lights when approaching the entrance at night. The flashing of headlights when approaching a military installation at night may not get you shot but certainly pulled over to answer a couple of questions....

1. My truck sits outside and if the bed gets scratched up that leads to rust. Rust protection was #1 for me in the long run
2. Stuff doenst slide around at all unless you drive like a maniac like when i almost lost some stair stringers coming home from menards and i took a corner to fast.

Toyota dealer willing to do this. They say get
what comes or wait it out for what you want. I've checked other boards and this seems to be the same with Honda also.
I just wanted to know if anyone has been able to
order with Toyota (any model) like the big three?
In nearly 7 years with Toyota, I have only done a small handful of true factory orders. It is very common to divert a vehicle destined for another dealership that closely matches a customers request and this is the best way to get something the dealer does not have on his lot. You can't always get exactly what you want but if you are a little flexible, you can get close.

But you pay $30,000 +
Ill be damned if im taking something that is not exactly what i want. Thank god chevy accepts orders. Thats flexible for ya

This is a very efficient way to build things. The down side is, if you ask for something that Toyota has not asked its suppliers to have handy, the must place a special order with the supplier. This is certainly something that can be done, but it greatly extends the time required.
I'll give you a "for instance" to help clarify this. Lets say you want a bench seat on a Limited. This is supposedly the standard seat but lets say Toyota only ordered buckets for the next two months worth of production. When your order arrives, they put it in the stack to be ordered the next time the upholstery company gets an order. This may not be a big issue but if the upholstery company has an order for one seat cover in the Limited pattern, and 2000 in the bucket configuration, they may just wait until they have more orders to justify it.
Another example would be on ABS. Believe it or not, there are certain numbers of vehicles we can build with this option (don't ask me why but there is). Normally, this wouldn't be a big issue unless within the month you asked for it, all the ABS systems were committed to other distributors. It does happen.
Toyota is not a custom truck manufacturer. If they were, the truck would cost a lot more than it does. Unfortunately, some people's tastes do not conform to what Toyota thinks is the most desirable option configurations. Those people can either be very patient, compromise a little on equipment or buy a Chevy.
Toyota still way behind all the others. Maybe why they dont sell as many cars as ford,gm, dodge????? Just a thought

I have the single-CD stereo and you can adjust bass, treble, balance, etc. by pressing in on the right knob. The CD does skip a lot more than the one in my previous car, but I'm counting on the dealership to take care of this for me. Oh, I'm also definitely replacing the horn on my Tundra. IMO, that is one category in which the F150 was clearly superior (though not a big enough deal to convice me to buy the Ford).
Is there any way to "beat the system" with regard to the CD skip problem? I called the dealership and was told I have to first come in (and spend who-knows how much time waiting) while they inspect the system to determine if there is a problem. With my luck, they'll tell me the system is fine and I will have wasted my time.
I thought this was a legitimate problem that Toyota had acknowledged with the Tundra's single-CD unit. I read this on tundrasolutions I think. If this is true, then Toyota should step up to the plate and just replace the unit for me.
Do I really need to "play the game" and take (at least) two leaves of absence from work to solve the skipping CD issue? They want me to have it examined first, then I would have to come back another time to have it replaced. I might be better of just buying a new CD player, but feel that I shouldn't have to since I already paid for the one that skips too much. IMO it should simply be replaced without all of the inspection, etc.
Sorry for the long post/rant. Thanks in advance for your help!
I AM PROUD OWNER OF NEW TUNDRA V8 SR5
HMMMM
Mini size - Full size hmmm still cant see any resemblance. Anyone else?
No but seriously BAMA i am driving a truck that has its own unique styling and kept it like the origional C/K plus some curves. Chevy didnt copy anyone they were origional just like dodge and ford. Who was out first hmmm let me think F-150 was out first.

Funny I have to agree that the Tundra has very strong resemblance to the F150. Good or bad I don't care. I bought a good truck, from my own opinion.
Now talk about the Subaru Outback! There's a car that looks like the Tundra! The front anyway.
