Hello, this is my first post here - helping a relative with a 1988 FJ62 Land Cruiser.

Stepdad hit a bump, headlights went out, another bump, headlights back on. Now, headlights are dead.

Fuses all checked, fuse links look good. Replaced the rust colored relay because it was buzzing - still not working. Another headlamp relay is buzzing, along with blower motor relay.

Here are the symptoms:
1- very dim light on the low beams now, nothing on high beams.
2- Light switch activates blower motor.
3- Turn signals and blue bright light on dashboard stay lit. Right turn signal on dash blinks fine, when switched to left turn signal it blinks very fast.
4- I've sprayed WD-40 on column switch to try and clean it. I've wiggled wires around and checked for shorts on all front bulbs and rear, driver side lights.

I'm told it might be a ground - but have no idea where to look. Also, both left and right side marker lights are disconnected.

Any ideas?

Also:
I pulled the steering wheel, took apart the headlight switch and sprayed it with WD 40 and reassembled it. No change. I have been racking my brain, trying to find where this thing might ground (or not be grounding).


I've been everywhere under the hood and under the dash. I've traced the headlight wiring harness to all fuse links. Everything looks good. What is disconnected now are both side marker lights and there are what look to be spare connectors on either side. They are blue and whote wires in a round fuse link connected to nothing.

Lastly, when I turn on the blower motor, both turn signals on the dash come and stay on, along with the bright blue light indicator.


Many thanks!

Jamie

You should move this to the FJ 60/62 forum.

Sorry, I'm still not familiar with the layout and it's my step-dad's cruiser. I saw FJ and ....
