So I connected the jumper cables to start the fj60 and saw smoke right away, saw this connector from the + post with 1 of the 3 wires burned in half.

What is this? What does it do and how do I order a replacement?

I don't see it on my wiring diagram.

Were the jumper cables accidentally connected backwards?

That was my 1st thought, so I looked again and I'm pretty sure I had them correctly.

You might be able to find some used ones for sale. There was a member who was rebuilding them, however, he no longer does. If you search on here, you will find a few options. Here they are, as I recall, it may not be a complete list.
1. rebuild them yourself
2. install inline slow blow fuses
3. build a 'breaker' panel, with bolt in breakers.

there are a few variation on these that you will see. I did the latter, and cleaned up all my wiring, pos and neg. I found that the dim dash and interior lights that I had come accustomed to, were brighter, after cleaning all the connections and rewiring off the battery to 'breaker panel'.

Thanks, I like the idea of the breaker box, could fix my tach that works on occasion. I guess the wiring diagram will tell me what size fuses to put in. It sounds like it's not an AutoZone part...

I ordered my stuff from Waytek. With the order minimums, I have a lifetime supply of the breakers, but the overall cost was as good as anywhere else, and I would have had less extra parts. I have a buddy in the sign business, and got a piece of scrap lexan - about 1/8". I cut it and drilled it to fit using the bolts that hold the air filter bracket to the inside of the fender and bolted the breaker hardware to it.

Mine is a DD, so I didnt need the waterproof version that some guys have done. Each of mine have a red rubber cover that protects them.
