Electrical Gremlins

Had good luck there for awhile. I found the heater 20A fuse was blown. I replaced it and all the gauges worked for about a week. Now the gas gauge and temp gauge are dead, but the oil pressure still works. Another thing... When I turn the left turn signal on both tail lights act like hazards, blinking at the same time. It is a blast to drive though. I always get comments like "WOW, Cool Bronco" or "I like your Land Rover". Pretty funny.

Howdy! I just nod and smile when I hear stuff like that. It's too hard to educate the mongral hoards that have no appreciation of art in it's greatest form: The Iron Pig. Oh well, their lose. Can't help you much on the wiring, as I have been very lucky so far that it has been holding up well. Just tidy up any loose or corroded connectors under the dash for gauges, and trace the wires under the floor for the tail lights. The insulation could be pretty wasted. John

Bad grounds possibly, Toyota wiring isn't weird and is pretty trouble free, like inkpot mentioned, make sure the insulation on wires isn't worn or melted off creating a short and that all connections are tight and corrosion free.

Hi cork! read your thread and thought this thread might be of help.

https://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/226059-electrical-woes.html

If further help is needed then and if yuo don't mind me suggesting you might want to post in the 40-55 tech section. There are a lot more people hitting that than here.
