Mounted on the bracket that holds the ignition coil, there is a small black box with two leads, one blue and one black. The blue wire connects to a black/yellow wire and disappears into the harness above the oil pressure wiring. The black one runs above the fender, is about 18” long, and has a...

Newb here, trying to sort out a recently acquired FJ80 from Japan. On the way from the port had a couple warning lights and the charge light next to the amp meter go on, then within 20 minutes the thing stalled out, wouldn't start unless a jump pack was on. Among other signs; radio wouldn't...

Hi all, I need some help with a horn on all the time issue. I'm brand new to this forum, and brand new to these cars. I just on a whim picked up an '04 Lx470. The car I picked up is in good shape, but has a few electrical gremlins. The horn is on all the time, so the previous owner pulled the...

After cleaning out my blower I decided to replace the resistor 87138-60220 while I had everything apart. After doing so everything works fine but twice now after sliding from hot to cold air side I get a serious blast of acrid electrical smoke out of the vents. Enough to cause panic and...

There is a split-second momentary flash from the dash turn signal when I turn on either heater or activate the high beam. Everything seems to function as it should, but I'm just wondering if I need to track this down. The only fairly recent change is I installed led bulbs in the dash lights...

Right. The Diesel is draining when it sits for a period of time. Additionally, the volt meter bounces when the signals are on, auxiliary gauges do not work, and the tach bounces when the signals are on. I'd like to get this done more sooner than later. Lunch/dinner on me for the assistance.

Roland’s random electrical aggravation 2023: I have an annoying electrical issue with Roland my 85’ 22R pickup with about 186k miles. Recently replaced the engine, cracked exhaust manifold, intake and carburetor. It still needs some adjustments but has run good until this last summer. I have...

Our Sahara LC200 has just had both wiring looms replaced. This cost AUD15,000. It was caused by leakage of water through either the windscreen, or the sunroof. Now that the work is done, we want to be certain that there is no recurrence. I have checked the windscreen and there is no leak. I...

Hey I have a 2001 100 series land cruiser and recently had some issues. Back story- it's my 3rd vehicle and has about 395k miles on it. Didn't drive it for 2 weeks and had a couple of cold days (close to freezing). Started it up but it was a hard start. Drove it about 2 miles, and everything...

Looking for help to clear my stupidity on this please. Had a starter failure, pulled it-had it rebuilt (twice as the shop had it reversed the first time). New rebuild clearly has "12V" sticker on solenoid housing-but they assured me no prob. First startup and test drive (<5min) no problems...

A little back story, Truck was bought in California and now has 317,000 miles on it. Been a good performing vehicle, rust free but paint that was peeling. A few years ago the 10amp fuse in the relay block in the engine compartment blew and I lost all interior lights and the radio. New fuse and...

Everyone, Our 1993 HZJ75 Troopy has developed a maddeningly capricious fault. For no apparent reason, both the headlamps and horn/emergency flashers stop working. On a recent trip this caused quite a tense situation when we had to race sunset on a highway. It's completely random, and will...

I just finished installing the original 3B into my '81 BJ42 after my 13B with aftermarket T blew a hole through the piston. My 3B runs and drives mostly but I am not finished with the electrical connections. I don't know which wires and relays are original and should stay with the 3B and which...

Hi all, Finally got my HDJ80 on the road and have been driving it daily. I am discovering multiple little electrical gremlins. 1: No high beams or fog lights. I have low beams only, no power is getting to the high beam circuit. Fuses are good. When you switch the high beams on neither one...

Regarding 1978 FJ40 (generally stock) Folks - this is the first post I've made in a really long time. While I still have the 40 and the 100 series, the reality is after getting older and having 2 kids I literally have not had to do any work (or have the time to tinker with it anymore) on the...

Guys, while removing the rear section of my transfer case on my '97 FZJ80 to eliminate the viscous Coupler, the case section fell over and broke a switch (I think that's what it is, it looks like it might be the indicator if the locker actuator is engaged, maybe?). I couldn't get an arrow on...

I finally got to replacing my engine mounts, but on my first test drive a fuse link popped (battery terminal - black to white). Got the new fuse link in today, but there is a nasty short. Started disconnecting my ignition switch and alternator, but still no luck. I have removed all the fuses...

I live in Alberta Canada but will be able to ship these parts from Arizona next month. Not sure on a price. Open to offers.

In a process of installing aftermarket stereo. I need reverse light signal for rear camera. I also need turn signals for side cameras. Yes, I can get it in a back where taillight wiring is, but ideally I'd like to find it somewhere upfront. passenger or driver footwell area? If you can point...

Just picked up an 04 LX470, 138k on the dash. Vehicle is in great shape outside of a few odds and ends. This site has been tremendously helpful already. One of the “odds” I’m working through is the random exposed wire in the photo below. Runs down the driver side and is exposed above the rear...
