🤔 Steamer; looked at doing that today BUT would be a bitch to get to the starter motor and solenoid as also have an AC in that side there and it gets very tight trying to work; hate it but not as flexible as I used to be :cry: hopefully with the good cleaning + dielectric grease will keep...

:bounce: :bounce2: :bounce: :steer: SHE RUNS :bounce::beer:with switch in ON :D; this was the problem ‼️:doh:; that insignificant little black wire going to the distributor was nice and snug and clean BUT between coil neg and distributor pole resistance was infinite nothing was going through...

Steamer; just did your suggestion and hot wired her from the switch she starts and runs sweetly :bounce: but dies as soon as take off clip :frown: there is something very screwy :banghead: lurking here underneath

Travis; good observation; pretty much think have ruled out a bad resistor as when tested it is doing its job reducing the voltage from 12 to 9; there is a gremlin hiding somewhere 👺

replaced the old switch with a lovely NOS from ToyotaMatt as recommended but is doing the same as the old one; runs in start or hotwired :banghead: will get to it again in the morning

any idea where does this black wire comes from :hmm: ?; it shows on the 1974 pig wiring diagram going to or coming from negative side of coil which also doesn't show a ballast :rolleyes: + have two wires coming out of the coil negative only one shows on the wiring diagram? am bumfuzzled...

P_H; big thank you again; :beer: I appreciate your input and guidance tremendously and don't consider it harping just steering adjustments :cheers: its a process of elimination :frown: and don't have a very reliable wiring diagram also don't have the usual fusible link; it does have a fusible...

this is why she :frown: wouldn't crank :hmm: maybe can go deeper into the "runs only in start" issue repaired loose connector now back to square 1; maybe 1 1/2 cause have headlights now ;).................runs and cranks beautifully when in start BUT dies when switch returns to run/on :bang:

OK still beating my head :bang: ........... fuse box and wiring look pretty beat :frown: maybe I need to put in a NOS that I have stashed :hmm: but ALL the fuses test OK with the multimeter; hate to put a new one in if can get the old one to work; :hmm: in pix of the back two spade connectors...

perfect; big thank you again :beer: :) P_H another thank you for so much help and advice over the years; :beer: cleaned up the fuses, holders and connectors in fuse box and now headlights work ; the headlight issue was what started this dilemma :(; will get under the pig and get to the starter...

big thank you Steam; don't know differences between the series though, will have to do some research; still trying to figure this one out :( think the V means Van = commercial vehicle designation for Japanese market; but fj55 LG ???

Mark;🤔 on wiring diagram don’t see a wire that could be an “exciter” wire going to coil from I.switch
