    78 2F rocker arm (lack of) lubrication

    Adding to this long and distinguished post, was doing my valves last weekend and noticed a totally dry spot on the top of just one of the rocker arms. Not the whole top either just part of it. But was totally bone dry. Everywhere else was well oiled. I've had the vehicle for 4 years now and...

    Knocking Noise when 4WD Engaged

    I'm having same issue and guessing it's my skidplate. Makes speed sensitive knocking noise under the floorboard passenger side under hard off the line acceleration when in 4wd with and without hubs locked and also with hubs locked but in 2wd - so basically any time driveshaft spinning but not...

    testing brake light switch

    I could be wrong but I don't think it's a two stage switch. So you could have a bad switch.

    testing brake light switch

    Thanks for this. It's a great diagram. I think I figured out. My brake light does in fact go off when I step on the brakes with the park brake on, which per this it should. Now need to figure out why my rear hazards don't work unless I hit the brakes. I think PO rewired them in to the brake...

    testing brake light switch

    I know this is an old thread but I'm doing some troubleshooting on my 78 FJ40 and have what may be a numbskull question here. What happens key on, E brake on when I press the brakes. Per this shouldn't the pressure switches still open causing the warning light to go out? My warning light...

    Another Hazard Light Head Scratcher

    So bit of an update here. I think it is in fact tied in to my parking brake light gremlin. When I step on the brakes the rear hazards work. More detail on the parking brake light gremlin. Parking brake on, light is on. Parking brake off, light is on but if you step on brakes it turns off -...

    Another Hazard Light Head Scratcher

    Yep see that in the diagram. I'm getting voltage in and out of the flasher unit for both hazards and turns, just cycles faster for the hazards. But again if I have a short somewhere be it in the switch or the wiring it looks per the diagram that it would knock out one side vs the other not...

    Another Hazard Light Head Scratcher

    I have a wiring diagram. I don't see it actually being connected, it just looked like it ran off the same power source in the wiring diagram. So I thought maybe they connect somewhere. How do I get the hazard switch out?

    Another Hazard Light Head Scratcher

    Wonder if I need a load resistor? Would not having impact the hazards but not the turns?

    Another Hazard Light Head Scratcher

    Sorry about that, 78 FJ40. Just bought it little less than a year ago. Honestly never checked the hazards but coming up on inspection so flipped them on noticed the problem. So not sure when it started. It looks like the right and left circuits are independent however, and fronts are...

    Another Hazard Light Head Scratcher

    Don't usually have to post anything new here as this forum is pretty darn comprehensive, but have an issue with my hazards that I can't find duplicated in any of the threads. Basically turn signals work fine. Only front hazards working. Have looked and wiring diagram and can't for the life of...

    AC condenser

    I know old thread but just in case someone happens along, I have an aftermarket AC on my 78 FJ40 with the condenser in front of the radiator. All perfect with around town driving but once I hit the highway at say 60mph it starts to heat up. Haven't run it on the highway at that speed long...
