Question 1

will this work with in the 1996 toyota 4 runner

Accepted Answer

yes. they are not vehicle specific.  wire them in and install in dash.  alot of older vehicles have panels in the dash that remove and the switch is a standard size that fits those spots.

Question 2

Are people hooking these up to there cig lighter or where are they hooking them up to?

Accepted Answer

They are a stand alone device, not something that plugs into a cigarette lighter type of 12v outlet. They match other Mictuning or Carling brand rocker switches that are common on many trucks, SUV's, offroad vehicles and UTV's. Some newer vehicles already have pre-cut holes on the dash with blank covers that are removable. This type of USB charger or other Mictuning or Carling style rocker switch would then just fit right in the pre-cut opening and wired for whatever use you desire. They also have stand alone single or multiple switch mounting plates where this USB charger or other similar rocker switches could be easily installed. I hope that makes sense.

Question 3

Will this fit a 2005 Toyota Highlander

Accepted Answer

It can be used on any vehicle.  And it can be wired to be able to charge while the vehicle is off, or only while it is on.  If you run a constant hot (from the battery) the light will always be on.  I did that and have had no issue with battery life.  Just make sure you have space behind the location you plan on mounting it as it recesses into the hole.

Question 4

Does the voltage meter function show voltage of the charging device or the vehicle battery?

Accepted Answer

The meter has no say in the matter. It reads what is there.  Voltage will drop the farther away it gets from the power source.  If you want a reading telling you what your alternator is putting out then run longer 12 gauge wire and tap in the first foot coming off the output terminal.  I would simply use the factory plug receptacle,. It should give a reading of just over 12v which is what most devices require.  And besides, as long as the vehicle is running,. you won't get a proper battery voltage reading without disconnecting the cable from the alternator(charging device).  Hint: the # isn't as important as a change from the norm. Just keep an eye out. If it reads 12.4 for months and suddenly starts showing 11.5 or whatever, there's your sign.  Forget the numbers after the install.  Look for a change.  10-4 ?
