I think this could be the issue. I did not know the wire split. Using an iPhone now and these images are difficult to see. Will be back on it in the am.

I do not.

I do not. But when this initially happened the engine would crank and run it was just not charging with the alternator.

It is my understanding the positive wire from battery running to the ammeter gauge also powers the the gauge panel and this is where the barrel plug gets its power ? Then sending power to the fuse box. If power is passing through the ammeter gauge then why is the barrel plug not receiving power...

it is possible the white-blue shorted to the alternator housing. I have volts passing through the ammeter to the wire running back to the alternator so i would think my ammeter would be ok. What i cant figure since I have current passing through the ammeter is why I then would not have power...

Yes certainly.

I did not remove the harness but I did expose much of the harness in the dash to the point that I feel very good about not having damaged any other wires. The melting of plugs is something im not sure about. I have not seen one melted yet.

it is 1976 fj40 factory 2f with original wiring harness

Fj40 bucket seat. no lower rail, i removed it for a seat swap. driver side is very uncomfortable but not in bad shape. passenger is still comfy. i see prices all over for these would rather just trade them out or something lemme know

I have a 4 inch lift kit made by Rancho and it is not smooth. I pulled the second to shortest leaf out of the spring pack to soften the ride up and it did the trick however the passenger side shackle now wants to flip itself inward when it hits a bump or does any flexing. I do not want to run a...

Good evening. Here are the details. 1976 Fj40 with 2f. Rebuilt carb by Carburetor Bob in 2010. New Gas tank in 2003. Truck had been running great for the last several years. Set the lash 8 months ago along Wil a full tune up. 3 weeks ago I broke down while making a short trip...

Thanks for everyone that commented hear. I filled cylinder number 6 with oil today and did another compression test and got a reading of 220 so that tells me the rings are bad ....??? I went ahead and buttoned everything back up and am going to drive it though the summer and tear into this...

1976 Fj40 purchased in 2003 from someone claiming to have purchased from an individual who imported it from Costa Rica. This wold make sense as it is worn out in many a places. I have been driving it hard sense 2003. Did a compression test today. Cylinders are as.. 1-100 2-110 3-100 4-85...
