Well loved FZJ80 Cruiser, not triple locked. Rough cosmetically. Got it during the pandemic and had a lot of work done both in the shop by Josh at the former Willamette Blvd Serivce Center, and DIY. Was our camping rig, starts every time. New radiator, alternator, sway bar bushings, hoses, PHH...

Cheers to that ... 😅

I disconnected everything starting with battery and pulled it and the tray when replacing the alternator of course, following the manual, and reconnected everything and checked grounds before putting the battery back. Do you mean when testing connections on wiring in troubleshooting? It's...

Yep. Ran through diagnostics, fusible links checked out, voltage was good. Went and bought a replacement EFI fuse, replaced it and it started right up. Old one worked yesterday before replacing the alternator, but must have blown it somehow. Thread closed. SMH.

Is the clamshell from the 94 still available? Needing one and the fuel pressure gauge off the dash cluster if possible.

I replaced my alternator yesterday with a refurb OEM unit for my 94 FZJ80, but screwed something up. Seemed to go all according to the FSM procedure, wiring correct, belt tension by hand measure to 90 degree twist, but when I go to start the truck it cranks but doesn't turn over and run. All...

I didn't want to pull the harness apart and work with the wires because they were so short, so bypassed it and ran new wiring for my front speakers directly to the front speaker outs on the deck. Everything works as it should now, phone calls and music. That seemed like the easy button.

Copy that.

Happen to have an oil pressure gauge assembly from the instrument cluster for a '94?

Roger that. Very good to know about the A442F. So my read on the wiring diagram is that if the neutral safety switch/shift indicator is telling the truck that reverse is selected, then reverse lights should engage, and then later in the complete circuit the dash indicator would register the...

My truck is a 1994, but the transmission wiring diagram should be the same from the 95, correct?

Thank you. I'll do some more homework and see if I can track down where the issue is. Reverse slipping or engaging neutral seems like a mechanical problem though, but the lack of reverse light and shift indicators had me scratching my head. Why would a wiring issue cause the slip in hard reverse?

Found this old thread and wanted to bring it back. I'm having this same issue and not sure where the wiring or ground is going wrong. Have the same reverse lights issue and no lights on the dash panel shift indicators. The transmission slips in hard reverse, and a transmission repair shop...
