Just picked up my first LC ('88 FJ62) about a week ago and I'm now undertaking the harrowing task of getting it back into DD condition.

Can anyone help me with the loose connections under the hood?


I'm guessing the two in red are for the O2 connectors? I have no clue about the blue vacuum line. Any idea what it is and where it goes?

These two are on the driver's side near the front. There's another set of the two loose wires in the same location on the passenger side but I'm not finding a match for the blue connector. The side markers currently have no lights in them so I'm guessing maybe the two loose wires are for those?

This one is located under the wiper fluid reservoir. I'm hoping it's the power antenna connector?

the the blue T fitting with the yellow box around it is NOT factory. That should be a straight hose from the cold start injector to the hard line. If that hose fits pretty well cut it and eliminate that blue fitting. The only reason I could see for that being there is if you have aftermarket cruiser control and needed vacuum.

Both of the connectors circled in red look like the O2 sensor connectors. It looks like the green one has some sort of adapter on it? The two connectors are not the same, they might be color coded for the two locations of the sensors. I'm not 100% sure on this, they changed a lot of the colors of the connectors in the three years of FJ62 production.

If they aren't the O2 sensor connectors (they might not be, I'm not 100% sure) they might be for the smog equipment that sits on the drivers side fender, but it doesn't look like you are de-smogged so I'd rule that out.

Not sure on those other ones.

The one in your last picture appears to be for the power antennae.

Once you fix all of these you will be happy!
 
Thanks again, cruisermatt. I am not desmogged (technically I guess I'm working towards re-smogging. :confused: ) and I do not have CC. I think that's a cover on the green connector, not an adapter.

I definitely want to get these fixed so I can move on to some bigger issues. So far I've fixed the power windows and locks, high-beams, and a couple other smaller things. I'm a little overwhelmed but I'm making progress.
 
Fixed the images... Anyone know why my image links from my OneDrive account public folder keep breaking?
 
Ok, I figured out that the two loose wires in the second pic are for the front side marker lights. Just replaced the lights so they are working now.
I'm also fairly confident that the yellow connector in the first pic is for one of the o2 sensors as it recently managed to slip down against an engine part and fuse to it, blowing my EFI fuse in I-25 rush hour traffic.
I did confirm that the connector in the 3rd pic is the power antenna. Just sent a message to @cruiserdan to see if he can help me out with a replacement antenna.
I'm still not sure about the green connector in the first pic or the blue connector in the second pic. I did just find a loose connector exactly like blue one in the second pic under the truck on the passenger side by the transmission. I'll try to get a pic of that one posted, too.
 
And here it is...

My sons 89 62 has the same plug and it's just hanging there. I think it's for options we did not have in the U.S. ( but not sure)
