You can probably disregard the above, after going through my Maintenance Log I saw that a ABS sensor got chewed up in that knuckle a few years back and I think these might be pieces that got over looked, but if you recognize it as something else please comment.

I am rebuilding the front hubs on my 1997 80-series LC and found these broken parts stuck to the wall of the driver's side knuckle. The two long parts were stuck together, and to the wall of the knuckle, by the broken short piece which is magnetic. Does anyone have any idea what these parts are...

I've got an 1997 80-series Land Cruiser with a Scan Gauge II. I just retuned from a 7 hour road trip and notice that the entire way 7 hours there and 7 hours back that Scan gauge was reading ~14.2 volts. It is my recollection that my alternator would start out around 14.2 volts and after a...

Mine was reportedly traced to a bad radio, after the radio was disconnected everything is working again. The hassle with this issue is finding the faulty component that is causing the short. My installer claimed this had nothing to do with him but after the engine removal there was a rats nest...

Thanks Malleus, I appreciate your input.

HI Malleus, The company that removed the engine and re-installed it after the rebuild has eluded that the dome fuse issue has nothing to do with them and trouble shooting the issue is not an issue covered by their warranty. I assert the components on the dome fuse were working prior to them...

This is terrific Malleus, thank you for taking the time to explain this to me! If you are ever in New Mexico please let me know.

Good call, a visual inspection showed the 10A fuse to be good but a continuity test revealed it was bad. I replaced the bad fuse with a new 10A fuse and it blew in less than 30 seconds. Prior to replacing the bad fuse a voltage test indicated it was receiving 14 volts (positive multimeter...

Good advice, I'll do that.

Thanks I'll do that.

Hi Malleus, I do have a copy of the factory service manual. I have owned this 80 for over 20 yrs and there is not much I haven't touched on it, but the electrical system is something I have not any troubles with until the engine reinstall. I have reviewed the FSM and it addresses trouble...

Greetings, I recently had the engine rebuilt on my 1997 80-series LC. The engine is running great but after being installed I'm having some electrical issues: My interior lights aren't working (ignition cylinder light, dome lights front ,center and rear, courtesy lights on doors and vanity...

Thanks azngarage, I'll look into that. Expensive part, ouch!

I recently had my engine rebuilt and during that time I removed the steering wheel to have it recovered. I reinstalled the restored steering wheel, careful to reconnect the airbag and cruiser control connectors, and turner it over to the shop to have the engine reinstalled. When everything...

William839 my engine is out, my electrical connectors are mess, and there doesn't seem to be power getting to the e-locker. If I pull the whole e-locker would that resolve the problem. When you said you used a screw driver to put the "gear" right in the middle, what gear are you referring to...
