Hey all,
Having some significant issues getting my FJ62 to turn over reliably. It either fires right up, is slow to turn over, or wont try to turn over at all. More recently it's been not turning over at all despite the electric components turning on. I just hear a click on the starter, and this seems to happen when I'm out running errands - it 95% of the time will start up when it's the first start of the day.
I'm trying to diagnose the fix, and I'm fairly certain it's coming down to the connection. The battery is fairly new, has a new OEM starter in, the plugs, fuel filter, and negative connection are all solid. My guess is this is due to the positive terminal connection, even though when I place a jump pack on it, it won't fire up either.
My next move is to rewire the positive connection. I've seen a fair bit of rewiring fixes that remove the fusible link altogether, and would like to find something that I know will be good long term.
Any direction here would be great, obviously can't find a OEM fusible link right now, so maybe I'll have to look into getting it restored as it is fairly janky and looks like it could be corroded. Would appreciate any resources, or links to any pieces I may need to purchase for this fix.
Thanks!
