1976 FJ40 - has been running strong for a couple years but just recently does not stay running after ignition is released. Similar to this forum string (75 FJ40 Starts but dies when ignition is released - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/75-fj40-starts-but-dies-when-ignition-is-released.1229262/). I assume maybe the ballast resistor is bad.
Trouble shooting completed so far:
Any other recommended troubleshooting test?
Thanks!
