Thank you! After all that work it came down to a fuse that looked ok but was not....I changed all the fuses. Now I see to have a short in my ambulance door light connectors. the wires heat up and then the fuse blows. When fuse blows I have no tail lights or parking lights...but the turn signals...
I did check to see if i have power coming to the harness and i confirmed that one wire is bringing power and it is going through to the other side of the harness but no head lights work and checked and no power making it to the head headlight…faulty switch? Thoughts
So i just figured out the small connector is for the horn and the horn works…i unconnected tested horn no sound and reconnected tested and horn sounded…
Ok so i repaired the wire and changed fuse and still no headlights. The lights worked with the old switch before putting the new one on. All i did was to unplug old and put new one on…i am getting power to the harness side of the connector…could to switch be defective?…the wire repair is all...

I installed the switch from you but now the head lights will not come on...all other lights work. on the switch connector there are two connectors one large with about 6 wires pairs connecting and a smaller one that has 2 wire pars connecting. is the...
Well I went and looked back where I purchased the switch and yes...drum roll...ebay purchase. If the switch is causing this is there a fix or do I need to purchase a different switch

I have 1978 fj40…today i installed new turn signal switch on the column…now all my blinkers and high beam switch work…now the low beams stay on even if the headlight switch is turned off…when i pull the switch the marker light come on and go off when i turn switch off but the headlights still...
When my 1978 FJ40 heats up and I turn the heat on the rear blower blows warm air but the vents up front blow not so warm air….I am thinking about rebuilding my heat box and installing a new heater core…should this fix it as I believe the rear heat has its own heater core…correct. Thanks!
Turned FJ on today fuel guage was reading fine with 1/4 tank full. Turned off guage went to empty like normal. Started back up a few minutes later and the needle went to past full position. When I turn off the needle slowly goes back to empty….confirmed fuel level in tank and it was at 1/4 full...
I need to replace my power brake booster in my 78 fj40. Looking at the various options. What is the benefit of using a single over a dual diaphragm? I have docs on front and shoes on back…thanks!
I am on vacation 4 hours from home and my power steering pressure hose developed a crack and is majorly spewing power steering fluid. Can I wait until I get he to fix or do I need to try and find a part and fix on the road. Please let me know…
