Last December i gave my TLC for a complete body redo (plenty of rust that had eaten her up). When she came back, i found out that Toyota had disconnected the EDIC motor (the motor that swings from off to overdrive and then on before you start the engine, and goes back to off when you turn the key off). So now i have a small cable (next to my hood cable) under the dash.
Its pretty annoying cos i can't give the cruiser to the Valet parking. At the same time, i need to think twice before i let any mechanic test it - cos they won't know how to switch it off. Once a mechanic let go of the clutch on 3rd gear to switch it off.
Anyway, since i am from India, there aren't many spares here. I've been told that the mechanical function of the EDIC is spoilt and it needs to be replaced along with the relay. I spoke to a dealer in Australia for spare parts and he helped me locate the part number but he did NOT have the 12V spec that fits my cruiser.
Can anyone PLEASE help!? Its just embarrassing to tell people - yeah this cruiser is great - but doesn't switch off ;p ;p
Although there are many parts and much more advice i need from you Guru's, this is #1 on the list. The cruiser is doing rather well!
