I did some necessary maintenance and replaced all three belts and the idler pulley. But I had a broke alternator hold down bolt and I had two wires on the alternator connector fail. And, I rounded one of the flange nuts holding on the fan. Fun Times. I ordered a new three wire connector from...

Hey guys, Last week my little Cruiser decided to strand me. Shortly before it died, I heard relay(s) clicking intermittently underneath my steering column/dash area. A colleague managed to get me moving by hotwiring my fuel pump cutoff solenoid - not a long term solution, as the truck then...

Thought I would post regarding a high output alternator I picked up from a local shop to me. Pretty stoked to see how it does and will look to get it installed in the coming month or so (a lot of projects currently in the cue) and keep this updated on its performance. Thought it could add some...

Greetings, Troopy team! My 1981 HJ47 all original Troopy has an electrical problem that‘s hard to nail down. My local mechanic has given up and recommended an entire wiring harness rip and replace. I am not yet convinced that’s necessary. The problem over the last two years is as follows...

This was nuts. Started noticing my battery gauge jumping when starting the truck. Lights flickering etc... Something wasn't grounded right... A drive around town had a loss of acceleration going from 2 to 3... Sure as 💩 , found my cam sensor loom/wire torn to shreds in between the pulleys...

Hi, hope it’s a great day for all! Having an issue and could really use another brain 😀. Relevant history. 1999 lx470 220k. Over summer the alternator dies while on road trip, no choice but to have random shop replace. Month ago, misfire, replaced plugs and coils. 3 weeks ago new timing...

Hey guys, I got a 99 LX470 4 months ago with 241k miles on it. Since I bought it, the Key Fob does not work, the automatic door locks are defective, and electrical power is not delivered some systems when the car is off, such as the dome lights. More detail below: For the Key Fob, the battery...

Old owner did a number to this harness in the center of the dash. I found what I think is the diagram but there are extra wires that are the same color. Do they do the same thing or is there someone who knows what all of them do better than this diagram...

I hope this is the right place for this it’s my first post so please be gentle. I have a 1983 fj60 and I have currently gone through two voltage regulators. I keep one on for a couple of days and everything is good then I wake up the next morning and it’s not charging. I do have LED lights and...

I am playing around with being able to hang in the back of the cruiser, and the rear fans are _perfect_ .. I haven't touched those rear fan controls in 7 years, but here they are... strength, direction, all controlled from back here. I want to use them without draining the starter battery so...

Gday all, so I’m a 3rd year mechanic apprentice doing a 1fz swap to a 1hz. Mainly because I’m gonna be touring so I want a diesel for that. Have the engine ready, but no harness. Just wondering if and what is needed for a 1hz engine loom to go in and what I can reuse on the 1fz. It’s a 94 GXL...

I just pulled out the factory amp from beneath my passenger seat and have wired up a new harness according to this website: https://tlcfaq.com/main/2012/05/land-cruiser-lx-470-stereo-wiring/ I’ve identified all the speaker channels and separated them, and then also bridged the wires it says...

I parked in the garage last night, turned the engine off but left the truck in drive, and left it that way overnight. This afternoon, the battery was obviously dead. AAA jumped the battery and the interior lights, radio, and other accessories came on but the key fobs are dead as is, it would...

So my LX will randomly turn on the wipers by itself. This issue appears to be totally random. Im leaning towards something being shorted somewhere. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? I desperately need to get this resolved as its super annoying and embarrassing when my rig decides to act...

Howdy folks! I recently acquired a beautiful '01 LX470 and I upgraded some of the stock electrical with a 370 Amp Alternator from DC Power Engineering, as well as replacing doing the big 3 (battery to ALT, ALT to ground, battery to ground) with thick 0/2 gauge wire. I added an AGM battery (and...

Alright. So as things have been getting hotter Ive been running into some starting issues. Trying to fix this I bought a new battery. Replaced the alternator. Thinking the battery wasnt charged up enough to get a proper start. Following these fixes though it seems like it has more difficulty...

Looking for some help with the installation of a new wiring harness (Kwik-Wire) for my 1979 BJ40. Does anyone out there have a wiring diagram for an FJ or BJ? Thanks in advance!

The dome light fuse was blowing when I put it in. I recently found that the moonroof plug in the left kick panel had separated. I now find that the dome light fuse is fine as long as the moonroof plug is separated. Once I plug in the moonroof the dome fuse blows immediately. The blue/yellow...

Hi all! I’m new to ih8mud so I’m sorry if this is the wrong area to ask. I have a 96’ FZJ80 and saw this open electrical port by the driver side area. I’m just wondering if anyone could tell me what it is for! Thanks!

Hey everybody, I'm having an electrical issue with my 1977 fj40 Landcruiser, and I am completely lost on what to do and was looking for some guidance/ advice. It seems to be the voltage regulator, but after testing two new ones and also the original one, it is still losing power. After driving...
