The RAV4 is done! Only one minor problem - the camera I built into the back door appears to be black & white rather than color. I am going to have to contact the supplier to find out if I ordered the wrong one or they sent the wrong one. Of course, the camera that is still in the box is color - it is the one I plan to add to the trailer. Taking apart the RAV4 tailgate to replace the one I just added is quite a project.
I reconnected the battery & everything works with the exception of the remote key. I found re programing instructions on line. They are quite bizarre: Check this out. It worked! Now I have to take the car to Dave's work site to connect it to a trailer to see if everything works. Since they are far too heavy for the RAV4 to pull, I won't actually be able to try the brakes.
Other than that, we didn't do all that much. This morning Don & I made a trip to Madaket Marine to find a crimp connector the correct size to ground the brake controller - They didn't have one in the supply room, but many thanks to Jack for going out to his electrical box & digging out two of them for me. After finishing the RAV4 we went to fill up the van's gas tank - $3.57 a gallon, hit Stop & Shop & the Post Office. I did get a chance to read Where Is Ben? to Valerie over Skype, but other than that is was a day to kick back, rest up from pool building for the Guidos & Toyota wiring for me. Left over spaghetti with added sausage for dinner. After adding the sausage it looks like we will be having spaghetti again tomorrow. There is an awful lot left over.
