Interesting. Does the pump itself work alright? I was thinking of 3d printing a screw lid so I can keep the original pump. But If it’s not good, I won’t bother

Hey there, I have been working on electrical on my 1970 fj40 and I’m nearing completion. There are a few gremlins I have yet to figure out. my wiper fluid pump is broken and I can’t seem to find another like mine on the internet even with a part number search. This is what it looks like. Any...

Sorry for lengthy posts. I found this forum post Speed marker. When I follow the two blue/white wires through the firewall, they should go down and connect to the “speed generator” or whatever as seen in the pic I posted above. It appears I am missing about 4 feet of jumper wires.

So, I hooked up the red connectors to the red pigtails that go to the top of tranny, and now reverse light works.

It’s a 3 speed floor shift. Originally a soft top car. Yes I agree. I don’t have a picture to explain right now, but the two red wires coming down near the steering column in the engine bay, were hooked up to these wires. This pic was posted on another thread:

Very interesting. Last night I got my reverse light working. PO had the reverse light wired to the yellow wires down by the Speedo cable at the tranny.

Additionally, I have two loose blue/white female connectors coming out of the firewall. From my research, this should go to the speed detector. When I look this up, I cannot find anything close to what it should be. Btw this a 1970.

Here is the fuse location. This brings me to another question, found another unconnected wire, which is the same color and location as the F.D light..not sure what it’s for.

Sure when I get home I’ll take some pictures. My 15 amp fuse that was in there was completely busted. And I took a spare 20 amp for testing purposes. Was kinda tricky to get it to fit.

Thank you. I did exactly that a few hours ago. The female connector was kinda hidden behind the dash frame.

I’m now moving onto the horn wiring and I have taken the steering wheel off. There are two ground wires. Is this normal? I might be missing a small spacer too. I am a little confused how the wires are supposed to sit in there to make ground contact when horn button pressed.

Yup i think everyone is right. I got the flashers working, the problem was just my in line fuse. Thank you for all the suggestions.

Ok very helpful thanks. So what relay is this one by my clutch pedal, and why is it the one that clicks when my signals are on?

Interesting. When I put my blinkers on, I can feel the relay on the drivers side click. So I’m assuming this relay is for hazards.

Hey there, I have been going to town on wiring my 70 fj40. I’m almost done but I have a few questions. Currently my hazards don’t work and I’m still troubleshooting. I’m sure I will figure it out but on the firewall on the inside by the passanger footwell, I have a relay and a weird plug. I was...
