How to Activate 12 Volt Accessory Circuit on Vehicle 7-Way
Question:
No 12 volt to black wire in 7 way plug in. Could there be a fuse, if so which one would it be? Or is there a connector that needs connected, if so where would it be located? Thank you

Not all vehicles have the 12 volt accessory circuit ran on the 7-way. It's pretty common on a truck like your 2006 Toyota Tundra that it would not be ran. What you can do is run 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by foot) through a breaker like part # 9510 to the 7-way and you will have that circuit complete. You can check to see if your vehicle is wired for it currently by seeing if there's a wire ran to this pin already.
