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...

— Thanks to @satchel , this has finally been fixed! Hey Mudders, Revisiting this issue a year later. I'm having an intermittent high-speed fuel pump circuit break that I need advice with. I had posted about this a while ago in another thread before I realized the issue was related to an...

Hello, I am experiencing a strange electrical issue. 1997 LX450. Recently hard wired a dash cam to the fuse box. At idle, I am reading steady 11.7V and my hard wired dash cam shuts off. When I give it some gas, the voltage rises up to 14V and the dash cam turns back on but then immediately...

My 97 FJ80 continues to blow the fuses for the turn signals, running lights, and brake lights. Head lights and flashers work. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? I’m assuming it’s a bad Ground and was wondering what/where the most likely culprit could be. Thanks for the help.

Hi Everyone: I was changing the solenoids on my FJ80's tranny this weekend because she was not starting in 1st gear and shifting at speed. Once I took the solenoids out, i realized two of the wires on the harness connecting to the solenoids were severed. Probably the cause of the problem, I'd...

My wife got me this solar panel but I don’t really need it. So she gave me permission to sell or trade it for something I do need. Look it up on Amazon. It’s worth almost $700. I’m asking $500 or trade me for something that I need. Look at my list of needed items below Specs: Xera Solar...

Hi everyone, Today, while on the interstate, I was cruising along at 65-70mph and my RPMs were hovering around 2500-2600 or so. It started to get darker so I turned on my headlights and my RPMs immediately jumped up 200-300. I then turned off my headlights to see if my RPM’s would drop, and...
