Hello,
Just working through my mess of a wiring harness. I was told that my FJ had a 12V conversion, and so far I have found that the gauge cluster doesn't have the drop resistor, the starter says 12V on it and the alternator is also 12V (and 105amps! ... thats too much I think). So in my mind, yes this has been converted, HOWEVER, it just will not start with 12V (it slowly turns over but never starts) and if I get frustrated and hook up 24V it starts immediately.
I'm wondering what else is needed for the 12V conversion so I can check it out, also if anyone has any ideas why it feels like I'm trying to start a 24V system with 12V when I try to start it with 12V. ... maybe there is a short somewhere in the harness, I noticed a lot of big problems in the harness from improper splicing of wires to straight up melted wires! (not from me starting with 24V, this was before I got there).
Thank you!
