Newbie. just got a 92

Hi All,

I recently just purchased a 92 with 112K on it. I do not know much about it but I already love it. Now I am going to test all of you.

1) Currently the rear defrost does not work. I have power at fuse box and there is also power going to it on the drivers side plug in rear window but not the passenger side. That is probably normal but not sure. Could it be the grid itself? It looks fine and it looks as though small areas may be working but they are small maybe 2" in length.


2) Power mirrors and cig lighter do not work. I checked fuses and tested with a test lamp and I have power at the fuse box. Where can I get a wiring diagram?


Thank you all in advance for your help. I look forward to learning all about these beasts.


Also scheduled maintenance?

Welcome Everyone needs an addiction If it is indeed your grid you can try the Permatex Grid Reapair kit. Many on here have reported succes with this product.

You can login to Toyota TIS (http://techinfo.toyota.com/) for $10 day and dowload the diagrams as well as the entire FSM. Highly recomended as this will save you heap big headaches.

As far as maintenance; The FAQ will cover just about any question you can have regarding regualr maintenence and repair. Its at the top of the first page of 80 Series Tech

Thanks

I just wanted to say Thanks and update.

Cig lighter somehow came unplugged. Easy Fix.

Power mirrors ended up being the switch I checked with a test light at the switch. I pulled it a part and cleaned up the contact points and now all is good in the hood.

I just bought a 92 FJ80 out of Texas and I really like it. Not much on power, but it will go anywhere. See attached.

Oh, check the power mirror plug in the dash. I pulled the dash out a little and found that my plug was unplugged. It was a 5 minute fix. Take a look
