Thanks for the info. If I switch the two wires, will both fast and slow work?

I got a great one here in Loja, Ecuador. Every time I stop by, there's already a 40 being worked on.

Wheel and tire choices here in Ecuador is not as complete as I would have had in the US. I wanted tall/skinny 33" tires on 16 inch steel rims. But, I could not find them. Then I had a sidewall puncture and found out my tires, although they had like new tread, were 12 years old. So, I upped to...

I am looking for a large wiper motor cover and the driver side door linkage and handles.

Do you still have the wiper motor cover (large)? Do you have driver door outside handle/all linkage? And would you part out the instrument cluster? I am looking for a oil pressure gauge.

I'm currently working on my wiper motor also. Mine is a 76n2ith bottom mounted wiper, so I can't directly help you, but it seems if you don't have 12v at the switch or at the motor, that is a 0lace to start. The motor is supposed to have constant 12v,if it is like mine. The plug at the motor has...

I'm not sure which you are looking at. I went and looked at this BJ: Then used Google Lense to find the same vehicle, sold in January 2025 for $21k. They have some of the exact same photos. Link to Auction

You should find all of the old butt connectors and replace them with heat shrink connectors like these: The first are like butt connectors, but have glue lined heat-shrink insulation. You have to be careful that you do not over crimp and damage the insulation. The second are a little trickier...

Looks like it might be coming from the site bowl. There is an o-ring that hardens. If the rebuilder didn't replace it, that could be the culprit. Also, if @vfrer is correct, and the copper washers are leaking, you can re-anneal them by heating them with a torch till they glow and letting them cool.

My 40 didn't hit the trails today, but it did end up at Compucars here in Loja. It’s not every day you see a shop filled with this much vintage Toyota iron: The Blue 40: Just finished up with a fresh set of bearings. The Cream 40: Patiently waiting on a new distributor to find its spark again...

Super helpful. Thank you.

This is awesome. Thank you.

A pic would be helpful, if you have time.

Thank you. That is the switch and plug I have. Gracias for the diagram and explanation. I tested continuity and it is open.

I've been working on fixing 50-year old wiring. I'd now like to fix my wipers. When the switch is pulled (first click), nothing happens. Pulled further (second click), the wipers activate in what appears to be fast speed (not very fast due to aged linkage). When the switch is pushed back in, the...
