    1973 FJ40 New Alternator Not Charging

    Well….. Coolerman saved the day….. and there is a lot of embarrassment on my part too !!!!! After being told and reading that the VR was powered by the Engine fuse that is where my attention was at. Once Coolerman advised it was in fact the fuse above the Engine fuse , I went out too...

    1973 FJ40 New Alternator Not Charging

    Whew…. That was a lot !!!! 😁 Ok… so I checked my Engine Fuse ( 2nd from bottom) and the wire on the rear of the fuse box from that spot and I have 12v with the key on at the fuse and the wire in the rear. This is the color wire that leaves the fuse box from the “Engine” fuse and goes into the...

    1973 FJ40 New Alternator Not Charging

    I’m going to check today to see if power is getting to my VR from the Engine fuse. With the key in or the vehicle running. If I unplug the VR…. There should be 12v on one of the wires ( IG) correct ?? If so….What color is that wire ?

    1973 FJ40 New Alternator Not Charging

    Doing some looking and trying to figure out how the charge from the alternator gets to the battery. 1. The big red one goes to the starter 2. The white one with the plug must come from the fuse box as it powers my Sniper / display module when touching the post. 3. The plain red one powers the...

    Ok….. I took the alternator for bench testing and it passed 3 test. I have another VR I can try as well but I’m guessing it’s in the wiring possibly

    1973 FJ40 New Alternator Not Charging

    The ground is clean and well grounded.no issues there. I did put the old one back on but it isn’t charging either. To be honest I now remember it was really charging or charging that well when it came off. I guess I can take the new one to the local store to bench test it. Kinda weird cause...

    1973 FJ40 New Alternator Not Charging

    Regarding the temp ground….which connection on the alternator do I run it from to the neg on the battery ? I’ll bleed the battery down some and try this test……If it doesn’t work I’ll pop the old alt back on.

    1973 FJ40 New Alternator Not Charging

    I actually got one of those but wasn’t 100% sure how to use it to test an alternator but looked it up. It has 12.4 volts at the battery a hair lower under load. It was in the low range while running in the charging system The chassis /engine ground looks great I got the alternator from city...

    Front Seats Restoration

    Just got my seats back from sandblasting / powder coating. I welded supports on the bottom of the pans as the rust was pretty bad on the bottoms but the sides where the brackets mount are solid. I’m looking at the foam / covers kits from SOR ….. I may also talk with a local upholstery shop...

    Front Seats Restoration

    I currently have a set of Corbeau seats in my FJ40 and was considering going back with the original style seats. I think I have most of the needed parts ….. although the bottom pans probably won’t make it and might cause me to get tetanus shot !!!! Does it look like anything else I’m missing...

    Windshield Frame Removal / FRP Top

    Don’t be scared of it… just have an extra set of hands if at all possible. Makes getting it all back together a lot easier. I was very happy that my cowl area under the windshield frame didn’t have any major rust going on but I would recommend getting done sooner rather than later.
