    Testing voltage regulator

    I completely forgot to mention that, I did bend it back up half a hair with no change. Did another half a hair and again, no change.

    Testing voltage regulator

    Indeed, shouldn't be too hard to chase down a replacement, though most (including the one you list) actually use a different plug. Mine has the old school black female plug on it. I'm just super surprised it failed like that given how good it appears to be. Strongly considering swapping out the...

    Testing voltage regulator

    Resurrecting an old, my wifes `74 FJ40 has long had over voltage (~15.5-16V), so per the thread HERE I tweaked the VR bar just a hair down. Seemed great, but 3min into a test drive it stopped charging at all. I tested the alternator per @Pin_Head direction HERE and the voltage jumped up to 14V...

    6th Wire for Taillight Plugs?

    I like how each of these are entirely plausible. Seems like the different pinning for L vs R would be pretty likely, though probably second behind the theory that they just made plugs in an even number pin? If nothing else this is giving me some great ideas on uses for that extra pin, which I...

    6th Wire for Taillight Plugs?

    This is exactly what ToyotaMatt is thinking. In his experience Toyota likes even numbered plugs, and is likely the most plausible reason. But hey, a guy can hope there is some super cool hard to find accessory out there that used that pin!

    6th Wire for Taillight Plugs?

    Talking with @ToyotaMatt sourcing parts for the wife's FJ40 and am wondering if anyone out there has ever seen a 6th wire going to the taillight housings? The late model plugs are a 6 pin, such as the one listed on ebay here, but there are only the 5 wires going to the housing. Has anyone seen...

    Need a pic of tail light wiring 1970 fj40.

    Interesting, this is very helpful indeed! I will continue to ignore those wires then, probably continues to explain some things as some of these were wired in all over the place in random locations between both tail lights, but are obviously not connected to anything. PM inbound re-the plugs...

    Need a pic of tail light wiring 1970 fj40.

    That bullet goes into the harness under the hood and is situated with those two plugs on the passenger firewall. It then splits off into three GO somewhere along the way, with all three at the rear frame. I do have continuity between that bullet connector and the three GO wires at the rear, but...

    Need a pic of tail light wiring 1970 fj40.

    So Green w/black (GB) has power to the turn signals, but green w/orange (GO) isn't plugged in under the hood. I don't see anywhere to plug the GO in under there. @ToyotaMatt , can I just stick with GB for both the rear turn signal and taped into for the trailer wiring? This leaving the GO unused.

    Need a pic of tail light wiring 1970 fj40.

    Making good progress, but slightly confused as to the difference between green w/black stripe and green w/orange stripe, both appear to be left turn signal on the wiring diagrams?

    Need a pic of tail light wiring 1970 fj40.

    @pb4ugo I fixed the instigating issue of the brake peddle turning on the running/dash lights, and having the headlight switch pulled out in either position powers the brake lights, with no dimmer function for marker lights. That issue appears to have been related to two separate solid green...

    Need a pic of tail light wiring 1970 fj40.

    @73FJ40 , the truck does indeed have the rectangular rear taillights, though I have no idea if this is actually original to the truck or if the wiring itself is even original. I'm finding this truck is the real life incarnation of Wayne Kemp's "One Piece at a Time." Thank you for bringing up the...

    Need a pic of tail light wiring 1970 fj40.

    Found the cross wiring problem, PO had put a wire nut (yes, household wire nut) and connected two solid green and two green w/white stripe wires. No clue, but I've fixed that problem. Need some new plugs and thing will be good, but still wondering what's up with the Taiwanese box there.

    Need a pic of tail light wiring 1970 fj40.

    Resurrecting and old thread, trying to figure out the wiring on my wife's 40. When we apply the brakes all the parking lights come on including all the dash lights. When you turn the parking lights on, the brake lights come on as well (both filaments of the brake light come on either way)...

    Builds Ole Blue 60 gets a fresh start- EFI and more

    Went through and updated the firmware per Holley's directions with no change. Thanks for the ideas Nolan, I'll get setup on the Holley forum and see what people have to say there. Thanks! Clark

    Yes, the pump does run continue. Sent a message to their tech support, and I'll update the software. Thanks!

    Builds Ole Blue 60 gets a fresh start- EFI and more

    Have any of you here actually seen a stuck injector? Been struggling with my wife's FJ40 that we put a Sniper kit from Mosley on a few months ago. Initially ran amazing, but has slowly been getting worse (rough starts, backfiring at idle). Discovered the old points dizzy wasn't holding timing...

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Thanks @bernardbar3 and @knuckle47 ! I wasn't a radio operator by job name, but a big part of my job was working the radios on C130's. Got hooked when we were doing a SAR 400 SE of Bermuda and were relaying messages to COMSLANT via NAS Tokyo. HF waves were bouncing clear over the continental US...

    Help me pick out HAM gear?

    Very nice! Those are damn good looking radios. If it's your only radio then programming is probably simpler, but I use Chirp. It's free, supports all common radios, and really isn't too hard to use. Easier for me than having a separate program for every radio, and MUCH easier than hand...

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Installed my old ham radio in the wife's 40, amongst other things. She just obtained her ham license, so my FT-7900 will live primarily in her truck now that I'm running an FT-857 in my 60. Pretty happy with how it turned out, used an existing threaded hole in the body for the radio and used 3M...
