Greetings. New here, from DFW area in TX. Just bought my first Land Cruiser. The wife has wanted an older one for years and we ended up with a 1997. Would love information on it. I have had several 4runners and jeeps and enjoy building them out...
Iirc, the 1N4001 diode should be capable of handling 1 Amp of forward current, which should be more than enough for two relays (at about 150 milli-amps each).
Maybe your diode failed prematurely, or maybe there's a short across one of the relay...
Are you using a single diode to supply two relays?
If so, try running a separate diode to each relay.
(Each diode will have the banded end connected to pin 15 of the ECU connector)

Making our way back to the staging area.
Love the Sierra Mountains so beautiful
Was...
Sanded, primed and top coated the old girl’s pitted and nasty wheels. Got new center caps too.
Yeah, I left the wheels/tires on the rig and used the old playing card trick… these wheels aren’t worth too much effort.
FIXED!!!!! It was the diff fuse! It had failed in such a way that it tested fine with a multimeter and would deliver 12v to the locking motor but apparently wasn't delivering enough current for the motor to run. The diff lock lights also turn...
I just made this simple L- bracket and mounted it here:
The old VSV is left in situ and the new one is plumbed in series with it. Disconnecting the harness was the only hard part, but once free it has just enough length to reach the new valve...
