Thanks for that. I got everything working, though I still don't totally understand it all. The six-pin diagram in the Toyota manual helped, though mine is not exactly like that. Basically, I had two issues. One was that the power from the can was not making it into the switch connector...

Looks great! So does the whole rig!

By the way, I did look at the Coolerman's diagram for the '76 in particular. It only shows three wires connected to the turn switch: power from the can (which I do not have) and wires going to the turn lights on each side (which I do). It does not show a hot wire from the hazard switch or the...

An update: it turns out that apparently I am missing something with only four wires going into that six-pin connector. Although there is power on both sides of the flasher can, that power was not showing up at the connector for the switch. There IS power there, but that power apparently comes...

Never mind. It's a single filament, and I've gotten them working (sort of, with other issues).

Hi, folks. I've been having a devil of a time getting my blinkers to work on my 76 fj40. The hazards work, but not very brightly up front; the blinkers don't work at all anywhere. I *think* I have ruled out the fuse, fuse panel, relay can, and switch. I read on line that the turn signals on the...

Thanks for this. I can't try it today but will in a day or two. BTW, ChatGPT says that the three extra wires I can't account for are just extra hazard wires that my rig doesn't need since the hazards are wired through their own switch on the dash. Does that sound right to those of you with more...

This is helpful, thanks. I did check all the bulbs, cleaned the connections, etc. Thanks for the tip on the horn, dialetric grease, etc. I do have the service manual but I'm not quite smart enough to figure out the diagram. Most importantly, I still don't understand where all the wires are...

Oh, and before anyone says anything: I just realized I posted a picture of the fj40 from when I first got it, when the bezel was upside down. I'm a noob, but I do know that much and fixed it first thing. New pic here.

Hi, folks. I'm new here (or new after a long time away). I've got a new-to-me 1976 fj40 that I've been working on (pictured). Lately I've been chasing wiring issues and have most of them sorted out, but here's one I can't figure out: my blinkers are not working at all, and best I can tell the...

Here you go....

Hi, folks. I am looking for a replacement rod and knob for my headlight switch. I can buy the knob new if I need to, but I don't think the rod is available. My switch works. Anybody got one that doesn't where you don't need the rod? It's for a 76 fj40. Thanks!
