HZJ75 Troopy Questions (1 Viewer)

[MattMud]

New owner of an AU import Troopy HZJ75. Love it!
I’ve got 40s, 80s, and 100s and know their coming issues but not 70s

Questions as I encounter and troubleshoot:

1) fan switch for heat/AC does not turn on fan on setting 1 or 2. Works fine on 3 and 4 speeds. Ideas?

2) insulation padding on floor under left side footwell is soaking wet. Removed AC drain pipe and it is clear. Doesn’t smell like radiator fluid leaking from heater core. No sunroof drains to worry about. Thoughts?

3) glow light on dash doesn’t go off but stays on even when a cold start but outside temp is 60. Should go off after a few seconds. Starts fine and runs great. Thoughts on glow system?

4) the two plugs in pics are not hooked up. They are under left side foot well on left behind the triangular plastic panel. The larger appears to never have been connected. What are these for?

Fan speed probably needs a new fan resistor located by the fan.
Water leaks can come from holes in windshield frame or wires coming through the firewall

Thanks. Windshield rubber looks very fresh and is tight agains frame and glass all the way around. Amount of water (puddle) wouldn’t be able to get in that quantity around glass. Pulled cowl panel off today and cleaned some debris out but not much in there. Poured water in cowl, hood hinge cavity, and between fender and A pillar. All of those pours came out on the ground as they should. My guess is that the water in on of those drain areas is following a wire or some such through the firewall. Will blower out under dash and see what I see.

Anybody have a part number for the fan resistor?

Often the hinge brackets for the doors have seam sealer which perishes and cracks. Rain enters through the bolt holes and ends in the foot wells. Many 70 series have rusted foot wells from this or the windscreen, sometimes the fire wall cowl.

I have found parking nose up fairly steeply does minimize rain traveling to the hinges on my troopy if you have no cover, especially bush.

You can see it real time when it rains. I don't keep rubber on the foot wells, just the steel. I did put fibre glass roving and laminating epoxy , then painted again as a scuff resistant coating. It is noisy in cab, but I rather that than store water under rubber.

I have had new windscreen gaskets that leaked because they were not installed properly.

I e had that issue too but it was 1/2 cup of water during a storm. Like a drip drip drip. This is probably a 1/2 gallon of water from a 30 minute medium rain.

toyodiy.com/partsouq.com/amayama.com with your vin will lead you to the part number.

Is your HZJ75 a 12-volt or 24-volt vehicle? I believe the part number for the 24-volt resistor is 87138-90K01, 12-volt is 87138-90K00. You'll want to use your frame number in a part search at the sites mentioned above to confirm.

Thank you! It also seems that Kurt at CruiserTeq has them!!

Welcome any thoughts on the “glow plug” issue.

I'm guessing without doing homework, but i think the big one might be for the rear heater loom, the little one could be anything, possibly a speaker, but the wire colour would give it away. the 70 main looms are almost one size fits all and have all sorts of empty plugs for the variants, often for JDM accessories not deemed worthy of aussie plebs

you'd have to pull it to really know. have you tried just hosing the windscreen? when i got mine the water was coming in between the glass and the rubber at the bottom corner, combined with rust behind that
