grounding issues

Or maybe it's NOT draining my battery? But I'm hoping that someone could tell me where the most common ground points are, I know there are 1 or 2 in the engine bay, and then there's one in the radio area... I have the following symptoms: 1) it sounds like a rocket ship is taking off on...

Greetings, On Sale is an important upgrade for any LC/LX 100 series SUV. This is especially true for anyone going up in age as the Ground cables may be showing their age. This upgrade will help with improved grounding necessary for all your vehicle's electronics, from Starters, Alternator, to...

This one is a bugger, new battery month ago, and seems a bit different than the EFI fuse/fusebox "crank/ no start" issue - old battery was about 3 when it died - Big Interstate Group 31 AGM (little odd so short lived, but I live in the tropics and do low miles). Hopefully this is all some kind...

I have a 1990 FJ62 with the headlight harness upgrade made by slcfj62 and the outer hi/low beams stopped working. Using the diagram (Headlight wire harness FJ60 and FJ62 - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/headlight-wire-harness-fj60-and-fj62.354712/post-5197952), I was able to make some sense of...

These 62's with starting problems are popping up a lot, i wonder if we should ask a new diagnostic question. "Have you had water on the drivers floorboard ?" "Have you pushed the start in gear switch lately" What i am thinking is that if there was a leak from gutters down A pillar, or plugged...

I have a 74fj40. The amp gauge works, as does the speedo, and the mileage counter. However, the oil press gauge, fuel gauge, engine temp gauge aren't working. I'm guessing a bad ground perhaps or maybe something got knocked loose back there since an old cable actuated winch was installed with...

Fixed. See below. I'm going to post this while I search. I have two wires from the alternator frame to the battery negative. I recently had long cranking issues on cold mornings. I have a #4 ground from battery to alternator. Also have a second ground #12 wire from battery side post to...

I have a strange one here and I am not familiar with electrical work so looking for an assist. My blinkers, both left and right; front and rear, work great when my stock '84 FJ60 is cool but will blink only once or twice then stop once things heat up. By heat up, I don't mean engine temp gets...

I have a 12/72 (73) FJ-40 I did a complete frame off build on. I have had it on the road for about a year and recently I noticed the brake lights were not working. So I looked at the fuse and it was blown. Put in a new fuse and it blew as soon as it touched the fuse block. (good sized...
