The harness and instruction sheet that was in the glove box, you will splice those wires as called out on the instruction sheet to the electric brake module that you provide. Then you will just plug it into the plug that is hidden under your dash.

Do you or anyone know where exactly, is the plug that you plug the harness to.
I've gone to two Dealers and their Service Managers don't know where the plug is. One suggested the Manual which is of no help. The other suggested I call the Lexus 800 Number, which I will tomorrow.

Cap, I tired of playing games with the local Atlanta dealers and wanted to give Lexus a chance to work on some of the bugs of the Gx470, so we purchased the 4Runner Limited until '06. To answer your question and I think both vehicles are very similar, I found my connector located just outboard of the OBDII connector which is just above the parking brake pedal. It had a piece of white and green tape securing it to one of the main harness coming up from the left toe kick. I think yours will be the same.

Thanks, I will take a look, but the GX does not have a Parking Brake Pedal.
