SO I am trouble shooting a problem with my 1991 FJ80, and thought maybe someone might have some input.
A little History: I had a starting issue a few months back where I would turn the key, and only get a click sound like a solenoid opening/closing. After consultation here, I pulled the starter and replaced the contacts. Truck started great untill this latest incident.
A few days back, tried to start the 80, and when I turned the key, nothing happened. Not even the click soleniod noise I heard previously. I pulled the starter from the truck, and ran all the tests the manual suggests (Bendix pull in, spin test etc etc). Basically, the starter checks out 100 percent. So my problem is somewhere between the batterry to key to starter wiring. I plan to go through the electrical circuit diagrams in the manual, and check every fuse and relay in the ignition circuit. I also plan to throw my circuit tester on the wire that connects to terminal 50 on the starter (the wire/clip nect to the positive contact ) to check and see that it is hot when the key is hot.
Anybody go through this before, or have any suggestions about what else I should check? I hate trouble shooting electricity! Thanks
