electrical issues

Huge raining here in Maryland lately. I should have avoided a monster puddle with the 100LC when I saw it, but nope, made my own tsunami and now I'm gonna pay. I depress the brake pedal and the right signal light on the dash lights up. I turn the left signal on and the 4 ways now come on...

Hey guys. New 80 series owner here. Just bought my 80 recently and ran in to a snag. Hoping someone can steer me in the right direction. What happened: While off roading, my transmission fluid hose that runs in to the bottom of the radiator completely disconnected dumping all of my tranny...

I recently purchased my 1980 FJ40 - non US model. After the first day or two of driving - testing all the switches etc - my head lights would not turn off. I have learned the headlights are connected to both the turn signal/ high beam and hazard switches. I have isolated the issue by removing...

Hi, all! I've been trying to research this issue for months and I've run into nothing but dead ends. A bud of mine recommended these forums so here goes: I have a 2018 Tacoma TRD Off Road with Pre-collision System (PCS). My 2017 Tacoma TRD (without PCS) was totaled last year. I was running...

Hey everyone, I've been having odd power issues on my 92. I first noticed my stereo turning off and on and then realized that I had a draining battery when it was starting to struggle to start, turning over slowly. First time I charged the battery and all was well until I started experiencing...

Because my original thread was initially about speakers and I was asked about symptoms of an electrical issue I noted in the post, I'm moving my response to get some additional insight and advice. *** *** *** *** I redid the entire cooling system at the end of August, replacing the radiator...

Hey mudders, trying to diagnose a no start, no CEL, does crank issue. At first I thought it was fuel delivery related but now I’m stumped. I am able to get it running if I force the fuel pump to run via the diagnostic port (FSM calls it the check connector) by jumping the FP and B+ terminals...

Hello all, I am new to Fj ownership and I much appreciate this forum. I have been looking for answers to my problem but I'm not finding a solution per se. I have a 76 FJ40 with which seems to be the original electrical harness but with some fixups here and there. Last week I took off my top and...

Even writing out the title of this is giving me ptsd. I bought a HJ60 about a month ago and ran into almost immediate issues. Anyways, Im in search for just the name of the terminal connector part that I need if anyone can help. It goes to the orange sensor that sits in the main loom just at...

Hey, I have a 2001 Tacoma and it's been 1 issue after the next. I bought it knowing I'd have a few things to fix but I didn't realize it would be this intense and I'm at the end of my wits. Please help. The most recent issue is the driver window won't go up; I've tried all the usual suspects and...

hello guys, so recently my stock BJ60 has been intermittently having the headlights turn off while I'm driving. When this happens, the blue highbeam indicator light turns on, even though my highbeams are not on, and I have not turned them on. I can usually get the headlights back on by...

Greetings friends. I need some help with an electrical issue in my '99 LC. I was driving along when my Kenwood 2-din head unit went dark. I have since determined: - No blown fuses (engine bay, driver's side kick panel) - No power coming through the factory stereo harness (I pulled the dash...

Hi all, I posted recently asking for help about trying to add a BT45-TOY bluetooth adapter to my 2006 LX470. In short, I was connecting the BT45 correctly (to my knowledge) but was not seeing any bluetooth signal on my phone. I reached out to USA Spec, and their first question was whether the...

Howdy y'all! A few days ago I went to try to start my car (it's my daily, probably sat for a day?), had power and everything, I went to turn the key and nothing. No click, power is gone, no sound. So I look up some stuff saying it could be a starter problem so I get parts to replace within...

I removed some auxiliary lighting wiring from my FZJ80 that was installed by previous owner and now my battery is losing charge when parked for a week or so. Is it possible that I left some wiring open/uninsulated and that could be causing the loss in charge? Anything else I'm missing...

I ordered the headlight relay upgrade @beno posted in the Unobtainium thread last fall. I’m doing the installation right now, and the way the harness is set up and how my truck’s wiring is, I was trying to go off of the B+ terminal of the alternator, rather than direct off of the battery...

Hey guys, I am trying to work out all of my electrical gremlins. I have gotten all of the lights to work properly except for two issues. Issue 1. Blinkers My blinkers work just fine except for my blinker indicators. Both the front and the rear, passenger and driver blinkers work. I have...

Okay so my 1981 FJ40 interior lights aren't working, not an issue as long as I drive during daylight hours. I can't see the instrument panel to guess how fast my flying brick is going when driving. Here in Alaska in the winter, kinda need to see that stuff. Oh and the radio isn't working...

Today during the rain I encountered a puddle and slowed down to not swamp my engine with water, the puddle was on the passenger side and didn't want to suck water up in the air filter. But I believe some of the connectors inside the engine bay got wet, as the LC would idle low and I would...

Hey everyone I have run into something I can't solve. Here are the issues: 1st the dash lights do not work. 2nd the HVAC system does not work anymore. 3rd the tail lights do not work. 4th the doors unlock when I press the brake pedal. Checked all the fuses they are fine. And checked the brake...
