Drove about an hour on the highway and made 2 stops, shut off just fine at each stop.
I was unloading stuff and noticed the dash lights and buzzer as if the key was still in the ignition.
Figured I'd just start it and turn it back off.....
Was able to turn key to off position and remove it...
Hey guys! First time poster. I just won a HDJ81 in an auction and will be having it shipped over in a few weeks. I am using a Roll On Roll Off shipper and they have a common practive of leaving the key in the ignition during shipment, I am assuming in neutral position. I have heard that there is...
1994 fzj80. Did a complete tear down on the engine, sent to the machine shop and rebuilt the block and head. Replaced several of the connectors and checked the wiring harness and rewrapped it. Most of the wrap and wire looms were gone and wires were shorting out.
Started and ran pretty well...
Replaced my D.U.I. distributor with the corresponding Hyperspark ignition system for the Holley Sniper EFI. This distributor was on my FJ40 when I bought it. ALSO…To have all of the available parts when needed for tune-up I bought a new Cap/Coil, LiveWire spark plug wires, module and rotor...
Throwing this out here to see if anyone’s had similar issues, or can suggest some things to check.
Starting issue: when turning the key if I go all the way it will crank fine but not start, I have to sort of gently back the key off slowly until it finds a sweet spot and then will start...
Hey guys,
I tried to find specific info on this thread but was unsuccessful and need the help of the forum!
I purchased an LC100 used, and it is a 1998. I noticed I couldn't lock or unlock the glovebox or the doors because the ignition switch was changed out by the previous owner. So I had...
I have an extra Toyota OEM dome light switch. I could install it to the left of the hazard light switch. There is a blank that covers an unused hole in that position. The switch could operate a relay to arm or disable ignition. I was thinking of using the relay to interrupt or grounds the...
Hello!
Apologies in advance if I was not able to find this in my search of other threads...
We lost the keys to the FJ60... so, we ordered a brand new key barrel (sorry if my terminology is off).
After getting the old cylinder/barrel out/off we discovered this part at the bottom of the...
First off, I have been following this amazing forum for some time now and wanted to thank so many of you for your knowledge and willingness to help people. With that I thought maybe I could join and maybe I could help someone someday as well.
Since I am here, I might as well ask a question...
My FIL has. 2000 SR5 - and has been chasing an intermittent issue with his ignition cylinder. At shutoff, the key sometimes is stuck in ACC and will not remove from the lock. His first solution was to install a battery disconnect that would cut power. After which he’d hear a “click” and the...
Replaced the fuel filter on my 91. Put a new OEM one with new copper gaskets and went to start it up and nothing, only cranking away. Traded the filter out for another one and the same thing. I undid the “out” side of the filter to see if it would pump fuel when I cranked and it did.
Does...
1976 FJ40. A friend of mine just purchased an FJ and is very pleased with the car and although it ran fine at first, it soon (within a day) developed an issue staying running. It will start perfectly but when you release the ignition switch to the Run position, it dies. I can run a jumper...
Hi, I am new to this forum and, though I am reasonably handy, I am new to vehicle diy in general, so please bear with me.
I have a 1999 Landcruiser Amazon. Right hand drive. Recently it has developed a problem whereby:
The fans (i.e. the warm/cold air blowers operated from the AC control...
Ok so I’ve never had this problem but the key won’t turn forward …
It worked literally last week, but it’s been raining and cold and then warms and then back to rainy weather, not sure if moisture could have caused it or what but it won’t turn…ideas?
Just fyi, I am going through a steering...
Went to start the Cruiser when I heard a "snap" and the key now freely rotates in the ignition. It can be removed but the key selector is stuck on position II (so battery is on can't be turned off). Had to disconnect the battery and tow it to the dealer.
Dealer tells me the only fix is a...
keys are in the ignition, battery is dead, and doors are locked. it's a totally snafu situation. I don't have access to the spare key either. Someone PM me how to get into my 80 without breaking a window. I don't want to call a locksmith and wait hours for one to show up and pay a bunch of money...
The TVSS box in my '94 has decided to auto-arm after 20 seconds and i cannot find any discussion of how that gets disabled. The manuals i have found say "contact the dealer" to enable it.
Also, the one fob i can find anymore is dying. I have electronic repair experience - it's not the button...
1999 Land Cruiser ignition coil lists for $156 and a 1999 LX 470 coil lists for $121. Both different part numbers, but the engines are obviously the same. I bought a Denso from Rock Auto for $51, so I didn't buy either of these OEMs, but can anyone speculate why there are 2 different part...
