My 77 FJ40 has been pretty flawless electrically since the restoration. I went through the entire harness replacing every connector that looked bad.
Today, I left the car idling and when I came back the driver side blinkers were on. Not flashing, just on. Dash light was solid on as well. I moved the blinker lever a few times back and forth. Nothing helped. I messed with the hazard switch and the problem went away. I figured it was something in the hazard switch. Parked it and came back and the right side blinkers were on solid. Car is off.
I played with the hazard again and nothing would make them turn off. I unplugged the flasher, the hazard switch. Still on. I started pulling fuses. Still on. The only thing that will turn them off is to disconnect the battery.
The only thing I can think of is corrosion in a harness connector. I am going to try checking them next. I checked the grounds on the fenders and frame. Maybe water got into a connector??
Any thoughts?
