74 fj55 gauge cluster wiring.

[my383z]

Hello all,
Looking for help with pin diagram for the round plug on back of 74 fj55 instrument gauge. Appears a little different than the fj40 pin arrangement. Been searching for a few days to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pics for reference, my gauge is the second pic

To get a larger audience and increase your chances of getting an answer, I recommend also posting your questions to the pig sty at the bottom of the forum page under FJ55 Iron Pig Preservation Society. Good luck in your search.

Grayscale do you by chance have the information for the wire colors for the given function? I am sure I can figure it out but would sure make it easy.

NOTE :


while many of the 40 and 55 have shared / same in kind color coded tracer stripes ...


such as :

- YELLOW w/ RED tracer is Always the Fuel Tank Sending Unit Signal to the cluster meter Gauge


- YELLOW w/ Black tracer is the Oil Pressure Sending unit to the cluster meter gauge


- this general rule is NOT a good guide on a FJ55 verses FJ40 , and other circa era Toyota like a HILUX pickup for example ...

- the FJ55 began in 1967 and kept on trucking all the way to 8/80 , in all that time it saw only minor updates and remains one of the most unique UNICORN TOYOTA Vehicles TOYOTA ever made

- the HAYNES Manual is a MUST having a 55

- the F.J55 also has its OWN unique Chassis & BODY too ....... another MUST HAVE ...

- the FJ55 , did have a evolution into the FJ56 , there was also a BJ56 with a B Series Engine , then 2B and finally 3B


- 8/80 was the Major Update to the FJ40 , and introduction of the FJ60 and BJ60 , these were the Next evolution of the Land Cruiser Station Wagons


i was the caretaker of BIG YELLOW , she was a 1/79 FJ55LG-KA USA Spec,


i loved her and i miss her now as i discuss all things 55 Series , she will always be my first true love ....

Note : The below is the unique USA spec. 1980 EWD where TOYOTA 1st experimented with actual Pin-Out # locations in each terminal bay and a graph chart Alpha / Numeric to help locate the Devices and system circuits , i never understood WHY they did not continue this really BIG modern update method into 1981-and beyond ?
