Hey guys,
first time posting as a fresh owner of an fzj80 from 96 with 200k miles
After successfully overhauling all technical debts (already did steering gearbox and brake system) I wanted to tackle the electronics, first item on the list being my AC.
I found out that since the blower only works on highest and lowest setting, its probably a fried blower-resistor 87138-60220
But after opening the glove box, I saw that my car has all parts for an automatic ac, which doesnt use the 87138-60220 but the 87138-60230?
But the 87138-60230 from the parts catalogue I have in front of me should only have been used in the 97 40th anniversary Edition?
Can someone clear this up for me? Is the catalogue wrong and it's a standard part also available in a standard 96?
Also - I could not find a single seller for this part, is there any other part number available from Toyota/Lexus that does the job?
I saw a lot of people switching out a automatic AC to a manual AC because of reliability and part availability, and I'm starting to wonder if the previous owner switched the AC with the one from his 40th anniversary - which I know he owns aswell.. but maybe I'm wrong and this is normal in a 96.
I appreciate any helping information!
