Selling my Land Cruiser, mostly because my back is telling me that I need comfort. I have owned it close to 6 years, been driving it almost 4 years.
I started with a very good solid frame and put all of the old stuff back on. The cowling are tub are rebuilt from other land cruisers. I have...
I tried LED's ( the 12-24v )......did not work for signal. Read that you have to put a Diode in between the signal light and line......otherwise no signal.
But, they are bright.....really bright. i just left the wiring that gave me one signal light, and both running and brake lights.......to...
good points........
so, then right from the fuse panel, with another inline fuse...?
so it would be direct wired to the 24v-12 converter, then to the back of the radio.......
sound good...?!
might be a bit complicated for my simple mind.......I bought a 24-12 high capacity converter, so I was just going to run the 24, from the igniction, to the converter, then to the radio.....
sound good....?!!
OK....great, I understand what you meant now.......
The new radio is modern, so maybe giving it its own power might be best....just have to remember to turn it off all the time....
OK.....
not really doing anything with the lights. Just a radio, My Ign, is 24volt......i am running it to a high capacity converter, down to 12 volt. I was mostly interested in where to get the power from, as I can not find any details on where to get the power first, before the converter....?
hello, I am installing a new radio, in my 24 volt BJ42 1981. I have a converter and want to know where I get the power from?
The fuse panel, or the Ignition ACC line, or the power to the ignition.....?
Any suggestions much appreciated.
also.....
would putting a 24-12v converter, before the connection to my U-build utility trailer, help to run 12v bulbs...?
I tried to run 12-24volt LED"s and found that you need a resistor to get them working.......sometimes.... they don't work for me. I get running lights, no signal or...
so the only way to run a radio is with a voltage converter...?
I do not know, but.......did some of the 80's BJ42 come with a radio....? if so how was that powered...?
Any suggestions on what I should know about installing a new 12volt radio into a Bj42 diesel 24 volt system...?
what was the factory radio wiring, and does it compensate by reducing the voltage to 12 volt....?
Yes, that is what I have....
I rebuild the whole thing, it is very very simple actually, and came out like new....
What I am after is any aftermarket unit that would sit on top of this unit.....being bolted to the frame, there is not much chance of
it moving about. So, if anyone has seen...
I have a 82 BJ42, japanese made and shipped for Canada climate. It has a heater in the centre, between the front 2 seats...
Has anyone hear of a Console that fits over top of this and has been made properly, with cup holders and storage space....?
is there such a beast...?
Thank you for getting back....
my Truck is a BJ42...24 volt diesel, but, the wire harness is 12 volt.....
I was following the schematic and found some of the wires (color codes ) did not match and this is when the frustration started
I now have running lights, break lights and my signals are...
