Simple question for post #1. For FJ62's how are most of the wiring bundles wrapped? Regular electrical tape, Tesa tape, split wire loom or braided sleeve? Should I see any zip ties on factory wiring? Trying to hunt down where she may be hiding taps or splices or butt connectors. Mike

Hello Looking for a set of side mirrors for the FJ62. If FJ60 has the same mirrors then I can use them as well.. Anyone has any electrical mirrors? Thank you.

Hi all. I just had a new Sony double DIN head unit and Pioneer sub (with self contained amp) installed in my 1992 80. The head unit has a port for a (RCA jack) back-up camera and I asked the installers to install a short RCA video cable so I could install and connect a camera myself. The...

My daughter has my 2000 LC100 at school (3.5 hours away). She called bc the 100 wouldn't start. On a video call, I can see/hear the following: No dash or interior lights working. No crank or clicking when trying to start. Battery read @ 12.5 volts. EFI Relay Bypass Kit Installed and 20 amp...

I was trying re-arrange the wiring of my lights and managed to burn the fuse for the parking lights / turning signals. Replaced the fuse (20 amp) and everything is working except my headlights (LED). Horn works too (horn & headlights are on a separate circuit to parking lights / turning...

I just noticed a melted connector for my #2 oxygen sensor now that I'm working on the exhaust for my build. The connector is from my 1999 4Runner donor engine. I actually need both sides of the connector but I have a feeling I'll have to buy a new sensor to get that side. Hopefully not. I'll...

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...

2013 Land Cruiser w/ 150K miles. No modifications or changes in the last 2 years, but vehicle has dual battery set up, aux lights, winch, etc. Have a strange issue that started 2 months ago. Truck unlocks with key fob, get in, press brake, push the start button, everything lights up, A/C comes...

As stated in title, the driver side door on my 1999 landcruiser has a lock/unlock switch in which the lock function is not working and has no response. The truck is 99% stock other than a replacement engine. Attempts: Replaced door lock actuator driver side door (resolved weak lock/unlock when...

I live in the Austin area and these 100+ degree days are taking a toll, not just on me but on my cruiser it seems. Door actuators have zero problem in normal temps, but if the truck is left in direct sunlight on one of these days, they develop a mind of their own. I’ve also noticed that the...

I found a project 1991 FJ80 that was local and at a good enough price that I picked it up. The PO had purchased it as a project for him and his son to work on with the intent to use it for light offroading, but it seems that they only made it as far as buying new wheels and tires before the son...

I’m putting an electrical component into my 80. For the purposes of my question, it doesn’t really matter what it is. It has a plug, with two spade connectors. (I’m installing an AC compressor modified to be on board air compressor) I have an ohm meter, but not sure I can use it for much, other...

@Engineer8000 Hello sir. Got a note from @orangefj45 that you were working on a some cool electrical stuff. I have been just starting the same type of work and thought it would be great to sync up perhaps and I could learn form your experiences. I've been testing some old MAFs for him and few...

Can anyone provide help identifying the electrical connection on top of the heater unit (interior behind dash). Not the taped one. I took lots of pics and labeled lots of parts to ensure I put everything back together properly but I must have missed this. Thanks

Good Morning Folks! I'm having a starting issue that's driving me crazy, and maybe you fine folks with your big brains can help. I cannot start my truck (RHD, 1HD-T) with the key. I can sometimes (50% of the time) start it by connecting a jumper wire from the LH battery (+) to the starter (via...

A few weeks back I tried to start my 97 LX. Has dual batteries and both were dead after the vehicle had been sitting for a few weeks. Tried charging them and still nothing. So, tried jump starting it. Still no start (just clicking). Should mention at this point, I had sufficient power to operate...

Anyone have any insight on adding electrical to the starter system? My switch panel has m10 lugs on the main wires but the terminals on the GX are m12. I ordered several battery terminal expanders on Amazin but their all huge and most don’t come with a cover. I don’t really want to go without a...

Specs: 1975 FJ40, 2F, mostly stock... Wiring issues!!! Original wire harness. I am changing out my old taillights and can't seem to get them working correctly. When I hooked them up, the brake light would blink and the turn signal would stay solid. I've switched the wires around following...

1972 40 series that has had intermittent starting issues, now won’t turn over at all. With the key on accessory and “on” the radio comes on. When I go to turn it over in the “start” position, I get nothing- no clicking , no crank. Battery is good, I’ve replaced the battery terminal connections...

Newbie here: I have searched the forums and cannot really find anything similar so I figured I would post here. Last week I noticed that my voltage gauge would dip slightly at lights and stop signs, occasionally going as low as 2/3 before rising back to just below the 3/4 mark. my first...
