Does anyone know how the choke cable light is grounded ?? '85 fj60. Tried Search & my FSM. But no help for my particular problem.
The choke & cable work fine, but the light does not light up. It's not the bulb & not a fuse.
I think it's a ground issue but I can't figure out how it's grounded. 2 wires going to the bulb...I think the grd wire is Red with Blue stripe. Both wires go into a loom behind the dash & it's very difficult to follow where they go. I would think somehow, the ground wire has to go back to the cable, but not sure ??
1) W/NO bulb in socket , key on, my grounded test light shows power to socket. Choke cable in/out makes no difference.
2) Put the bulb IN, & it won't light...if I ground the red w/blue stripe w/sharp end of test light...the bulb lights up, but very faintly.
So that is why I think it's a ground issue...but it also makes no difference pulled out or not. Everything remains the same, no matter if the choke cable is pulled out or not.
So, how is this thing grounded or is there something else I should be looking for.
Thanks for your help.
