Hey Everyone,
I would really like some help with this one. 1976 fj40 with factory 2f and wiring harness. I neglected to plug in the two small wires connecting to the alternator (white with black and white with green) and i went for a ride and almost smoked my hole harness. So far from what I can find this resulted in melting the large white wire and white wire with blue line which run from alternator to altmeter and then back to battery where i do not have a fusible link. Immediately after this happened I could still crank the truck. Also the left blinker light in the gauge was staying lit. I have replaced the melted wires and gone through the harness and can not find any more damage. Now i can not get any power to the fuse panel.
All fuses are good. All grounds are good. No fusible link in harness. Where am I losing power ?
I can not get any power at the barrel plug either? This is the factory harness that has just been worked on for years. maybe time for a new harness.
