lock cylinder problem

[sandcruiser]

Hi all

I'm trying to replace the lock cylinder on my hj60. Long story short: the key is bald. I'd like to swap in my fj60 cylinder

problem is: on the fj and the FSM it shows the little pushbutton on the front- just insert key, turn to ACC, push button with wire/punch then remove cylinder

Not working.

It appears that there is no button on the hj's cylinder


Further: on the fj, the back of the housing has a hole to which is mounted the door-beeper switch. On the hj, there is no switch and it feels like there is a plug there.

Anyone with no door beeper out there know if the factory plugs that hole?

Or did a 'mechanic' down here use that plug to hold in the key cylinder (which would be a huge PITA for me)?

thanks!

fj60's have no door beeper.

thats about all I know.

My 10/83 fj60 definately has a door beeper. When the key is in the ignition and the driver's door open, it beeps enough to drive you mad. Here's a pic of the momentary switch:

Maybe you meant HJ's? Which would make sense in light of my HJ not having one. I just figured it was a Non-US thing.
Ok, this is silly. I can't make the image show up, despite 4 tries....

mind

I guess

That's the picture.
oh, wait, maybe i just got it.

and here is a pic of the hj's lock cylinder. Just because I've got it.

Note the "G" position. Wonder if the fj cylinder will fit at all? Hmm...
First, of course, we gotta get that darn hj's cylinder *out*

"G" must mean glow for the glow plugs? If so, you'll be missing a rather important circuit for your HJ if you put in an FJ lock cylinder, right?

that's what I'm afraid of.
I suppose I could just install a momentary switch somewhere and hold it down instead of holding they key at G. But I don't really relish the idea of doing the extra wiring.
I'd really love to find a 20 second switch that I can just push once and then sit back or do something else... but that's pretty lazy of me, I guess.

Good idea sandcruiser I could do with on of them also, maybe we should make and sell them and become millionaires!!!

I'll bet the lock cylinder has NOTHING to do with the "G" position, other than the cute letter on the lock cylinder. The "G" position is a function of the ignition switch only. The switch and lock cylinder are separate items.

For what it's worth, my '82 BJ60 does not have a "Key in the Lock" buzzer. My old '84 BJ60 did.

wierd, I have never seen a 60 or 62 with a key lock beep or a door lock beeper and have seen a few of them.

... and have seen a few of them.

Now there's an understatement!! Shoot, you probably own as many 60s as some listers have ever seen!

I may end up parting out Sandy, if I do, and you want the beeper, just lemme know
