Had to go buy a new battery tester, not sure where my other went. Anyways, alternator is running at 13.8, seems good. Battery test shows it is weak under a load. Next step is new battery. Thanks for the advice, and the push to do some actual testing instead of just guessing.

I have not. You mean the brushes in the alternator? I have not investigated that far yet. Had our first cool day here and I discovered the heat does not work in the Landcruiser so I got sidetracked.

Gauge seems to be normal. I will test the battery while it’s running today and report back. Thanks

The battery light on my 62 comes on irregularly when driving. Sometimes I can drive for 30 minutes to an hour and no light comes on. Most times after about 15 minutes of driving the battery light comes on. I checked the battery. It seems good and it has always started right up in the nine months...

This weekend I installed the updated sun visors in my FJ62, installed a new ground from the battery and added a transmission cooler. Also got my carb fan working. It was a big weekend. I have not tested for leaks on the transmission line job, I’ll do that in the morning. I need to be able to...

Okay. You guys are awesome. After all the great advice I located the issue. Seems my temp sensor is bad because the wire to it was intact. I unhooked the wire from the sensor and grounded it, as you guys advised, and now the fan is blowing steady. Thanks!

I have them in my 88 FJ62. They are surprising good. comparable to the Weather Techs I had in my tundra.

Going to get this done this weekend. Thanks

Okay. Sorry for a dumb question! I reread the above. Temp sensor will shut if off. Going to try the ground wire this weekend and see what happens. I appreciate the help.

Ok. I will check that this weekend. I assume it shuts off when it cools?

I’m guessing it will turn off on its own due to the heat sensor?

Good advice. Thanks.

That makes sense. I need to check the power to it. Never heard it come on before and it is definitely hot enough.

That is a good idea. This small adventure has me ready to add a trans cooler as well. It’s a much less daunting task after this info. Thank you.
