Here is a link to Bulldog Security :  https://www.bulldogsecurity.com/bdnew/vehiclewiringdiagrams.asp  According to them the 2009 and 2010 are the same.

Funny that you ask this, I started wiring my 2010 Tacoma with an alarm today using the Bulldog wiring diagram and found out it isn't completely accurate in that it isn't just one door switch wire (GREEN/ YELLOW as it states). It is in fact running off of 3 different wires for the door switches; YELLOW /GREEN for drivers front, RED / black for pass. front and pink/black for rear doors (for double cab). My problem is I found the driver's front wire and passenger rear doors wire but can't find the passenger's front door wire. I also can't find the door lock/unlock wires. Can anyone help with finding these wires?

According to the wiring diagram they are in the following location but could use some help/pictures finding exactly where these OEM pin connectors are:

RED / Black-Dash Fuse Box, white 22 pin connector (front or back of fuse box?)

Lock-Blue/White, Driver's Kick panel, white 10 pin connector (exact location/pics?)

Unlock- Gray, Driver's Kick panel, white 10 pin connector (exact location/pics?)

Factory Alarm Arm- Violet, Driver's kick panel, white connector (exact location/pics?) Not sure if these apply as I only have OEM keyless entry, not OEM alarm

Factory Alarm Disarm- GREEN/ Black, Driver's kick panel, white 10 pin connector (exact location/pics?) Not sure if these apply as I only have OEM keyless entry, not OEM alarm

Also I have read something about a child safety door lock circuit. Does anyone know if this is the case with my 2010 Tacoma Double Cab and if so how to wire?

Thanks a million to any help provided!

After reading the above, does the "All door trigger GREEN / WHITE" take the place of having to wire the other three associated with the latches? If so that would be the route I take! Thanks!

The GREEN / WHITE all door trigger is actually the wire for the door open indicator on your instrument cluster, so yes it will cover all 4 doors with no delay. Remove the 2 10mm nuts and the bracket in the lower left side of the BCM, pull it down and look at the back. It will be in the closest plug to you kinda in the middle...

Also, do not use the lock/unlock listed above. The purple arm and GREEN/ black disarm wires will operate the locks for you even without you having an OEM alarm. You will find them in the plugs in the kickpanel that come from the drivers door boot. They are loose plugs and the wires are covered with black plastic. The disarm wire will unlock the drivers door with the first pulse and the 3 others with a second pulse....

Thanks so much to all, I knew I'd find what I needed here!

When you say loose plugs, are you meaning they won't actually be plugged into anything?

By loose i mean they aren't mounted to the chassis of the truck like all the other plugs.

ok thanks. I will look for them the next chance I get to tackle the installation.

Just an update. The installation went smooth and was able to find the wires you described. The only confict I noticed was the parking light flash. When I did the install, the parking lights flashed as they should during arm/disarm/alarm. However, with my Toyota, I have the auto off feature for my headlights in the event I leave them on when getting out of the vehicle. Turns out if I do leave my headlight switch in the "ON" position when getting out of the truck, the parking lights don't flash as they should during arm/disarm/alarm. It just means I have to turn the headlights "OFF" in order for the parking lights to flash. Any suggestions?

I have the parking lights connected to the "GREEN (-)" wire at the headlight switch. I also have noticed there is a "GREEN (+)" wire located at the fuse box. If I were to use the GREEN at the fuse box, will this allow the parking lights to flash regardless of the headlight switch position being "OFF" or "ON"?

This has been discussed here a lot. Basically, what needs to happen is you add a relay to break the negative output from the headlight switch for auto lights. The wire you need goes to ground only when you turn on auto lights and you wire it like you would a starter kill relay. You find this wire at the light switch in the column. Use the RS status wire to drive the relay. This way the truck doesn't know the auto lights are actually turned on during the RS cycle...

Let me ask this. If I were to leave it wired as is, will it harm the alarm at all? I don't mind turning the lights off when I exit the vehicle if it means the parking lights will flash, I just don't want to leave them on and it cause problems with the alarm. Thanks!
