Hello folks, I have been driving my '88 FJ62 since 2016 without a major problem, but this one has me scratching my head (and stuck in a parking lot twelve miles from home). Your expertise is greatly appreciated. The start has always been a bit weak, but about three months ago, it started...

Purchased an 80. I’ve been having problems with getting this wiper to function correctly for my roadworthy certificate in Australia. It seems to only be doing half the action per time. I’ve tried 3 motors and all do the same thing. I’ve attached a video that I have uploaded to YouTube.

Hey guys. I purchased a '97 HDJ80. I'm looking for a good diesel mechanic and/or a mechanic that's good with electrical systems. I live in SLC but willing to make a trip for a good mechanic. My truck is in good shape although I'd like to give it a thorough tune. There's also something up with...

Hello all- I have a beautiful 2009 LX 570, just about to hit 350,000km. So far it has been a fantastic car, taking us from deep desert trips in Oman and UAE to the mountains of the French Alps. It is a phenomenal car. I have had problems brewing for a few years. I shipped the car from Dubai...

Calling all FJ62 or 3FE Experts I have an 1989 FJ62 that is having some weird issues. The 62 has been pulling daily duties for almost 2 months now with no issues. Over weekend I worked on doing the relay mod for the locks. I had some issues with that install but finally got them to work right...

Hi! New guy here!! Recently purchased a 78 FJ and I am in the process of putting things back together. To start with when installing new headlights I only had high beams. I replaced the dimmer switch and corrected that issue but now the lights won't go off even if I disconnect the headlight...

I had a weird electrical issue while driving today in the snow. Vehicle started fine with remote start but I noticed the low beams didn't work. I did not have time to trouble shoot but I have aux lights that can double as headlights so I used those. About 15 minutes into driving the radio...

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...
