Re:heater in fj40 nonfunctioal correction to above - if your fan runs on High but not on low - than your resistor may be bad. My post above (typo) had it backwards.

Re:heater in fj40 nonfunctioal Note - front and rear heater run off the same fuse. So if one works - its not the fuse. The resistor I believe is used to limit the power output for the low fan setting. If your blower stops when you put the fan on high - then your resistor is probably bad. HTH.

Re:heater in fj40 nonfunctioal Help us out here - your first post said you did get some warm air out of your rear heater. Than above you say the rear heater wasn't running. FYI - the fan pull has two setting: low and high. High is the second click as you pull out the knob on the dash. You...

Re:heater in fj40 nonfunctioal I second Pimp's reccommendation. My '80 FJ40 sat for 3 yrs before I bought. Heater worked twice and then froze on me. Sprayed PBBlaster (or Kroil) into the heater valve and worked it around by pulling the heater knob on the dash. Worked free in a few mins and...

Black Seat Covers? Does anyone know somewhere that you can buy black seat covers for an '80 FJ40? Also looking for black door panels. All the usual sites (CCOT, ManAFre, SOR) only have gray. I also checked some of the other sites (CruiserSolutions, etc.) - all only have gray now for any year...

After years of waiting, I have finally started serious shopping for the FJ40 I've always wanted. So far, I've seen three at various price ranges that all claimed to have some form of restoration done recently. All had fresh paint with several areas of paint bubbling - ususally on the bottom...
