FJ-45 Electrical Question

[stewt]

@stewt sorry….Previous Owner….

Some of them have had remarkably crazy ideas regarding modifications and fixes.
Some of those “fixes” are frustrating as hell and 101% wrong

The PO’s that would of installed that would of been venezuleans in the 80s lol

No limit to the “creativity” of many…regardless. I have friend who is one of the smartest guys I have ever met (especially at my age) and his ability to light a match is hampered by him analyzing the components of the match abrading against an irregular surface in to to create an exothermic Ignition to allow the combustion of the corresponding matériels on the opposite side

And then, I have other friends who can light the match with zero hesitation and then realize there’s a full 5 gallon jug of gasoline next to their leg

PO’s often lead to PO’ed current owners..

Yeah no joke these venezulans were very creative

Reviving this thread with yet another electrical question for my fj45. Does anybody know what this bullet terminal on the voltage regulators connector is? I attached some pictures below. Thanks.

Most likely for a second capacitor for “noise” suppression (electrical). It should show up on the electrical schematics.
