I am having a hard time getting my brakes bleed well on my 69 fj40. Is there a proper order and technique for this? i.e Raising the front or rear while bleading and where do I start Any help appreciated.

I found a blown fuse. but it didnt seem to fix anything. I bought a new relay and that didnt do anything either. I did test the 2 relays that I found. I Have been having problems with my emergency knob. I will try that. If not, whats next?

When I Flip the switch I get nothing.

How about some snowy fun in Tahoe?

Was out in the trails with my 69 fj the other day. Always fun. When i got home I realized that my turn signals arent working. Any Ideas where to start?

Part of my problen is that I dont know what all the controls on dash panel are for. If I had a pic of what all of the knobs do I could maybe make some sense. Thanks again for help

the valve lookes like that except its got an electric wire conection on the peice just south of the circle on the diagram. Im a little confused with the electrical. The valve isnt a butterfly but a 14 mm nut. looks like a nipple on it. However, ive got heat now that I manually opened it.

It does have a pull knob on the dash. Is that for an eloctronic switch on the valve?

Ok, I just went and looked at it. Wire conection was pretty corroded I cleaned it up. Is there any way to check it or what else can i do?

I have a stock 69 fj 40 in great condition except no heat. Ive replaced all heater hoses (except to rear heater), thermos stat, radiator and hoses. It runs at a perfect operating temp. I did replace both short hoses going into the front heater core. Im not sure wich one is inlet or outlet. or...

I replaced both wheel cylinders on the rt rear. All 4 wheels seem to spin freely. Do I turn the cylinder counter clockwise to tighten?

So I recently replaced both wheel cylinders on my 69 fj. pretty easy job. However, i cant seem to get a good pedal. after one small pre pump its pretty good. I have blead all four wheels with no change. Are ther any tricks or sequenses I should know about? Are the rear brakes self...

My cluttch only works if i double pump it. Im thinking about replacing cyllinder down to slave. mosty because I dont really know that much about hydrolic clutches. Is there a better aftermarket brand or should I go with oem or do I just need to bleed them?
