Don’t think I have a factory amp. Used a tetra harness. Wondering if I need to completely insulate it electrically and run a separate ground to the battery. That’s a real pita.

Hi folks, Just installed a new head unit in my jdm 80. Works get but blows the cig lighter fuse. Also the blower fan motor hasn’t worked since I installed it. Just pulled it back out and noticed it says +12V to ground on the head unit. Can’t imagine this is not relevant. Anyway, has anyone...

Hi all, I recently picked up a gt2052S, with hopes of waking up my 3B. I should have researched it a bit more first, as I got one off a 2000 LR Defender TD5. My question is about the turbine housing. The exhaust side flange is part of the casting and cannot be be turned. Also, the inlet to...

Checked again this morning. The glow light only flashes for about a 1/4 second. The voltage drops immediately after the light goes out. Doesn’t engage long enough to know what it is, but drops to 6.5 volts to ground. Swapped a spare timer relay, same thing…

I would have to check with the supplier I bought them from. I replaced them when I did the head gasket last year. I trust both the parts guys and mechanic not to install the wrong parts. Just seems weird to me that it would be 7.5 volts to the glow plugs.

12 except the starter.

Good day, Troubleshooting the glow plug circuit in my truck. And I only have 7.5 volts being delivered to the glow plugs. I have unfortunately misplaced my FSM. But part of me is assuming I should be getting 12 volts. Is that correct? And would the likely culprit of the voltage drop be the...

I want to stick with stock, as it looks like a 5 minute repair with the stock part.

Hello, Found my fuel heater shorted out. I can’t find the exact P/N. But am wondering if one from another model/year will work? they look virtually identical, other than the shape of the plug. anyone on here have experience with this? Thanks!

I cleaned the one side when I changed the terminals. is the left side battery only for starting?

I just got home and am gonna have another go at it tomorrow. Thought I would try using a set of booster cables to check which ground was bad.

I’ve replaced the batteries, terminals, and alternator. I know it’s charging. it’s just a matter of laying in the snow.

I didn’t check the engine ground yet. And the windows work like $hit. Especially in the cold. I check from the fuse/relay panel to the battery and there was a voltage drop. I took the truck to a shop as I had to leave town and it’s cold out. They didn’t have any luck so I’m back to square one...

So I’ve been loosing electrical function on my 80. the first indicator was the head lights. I thought it was the relay, but looks like a voltage drop off the fuse/relay panel. then I noticed the glow plugs/fuel heater isn’t working. Nor are the dash lights or rear window defrost. has anyone...
