@Explorer4Hire Some alternators on some engines don't actually provide charge until the engine reaches and maintains a certain RPM. @emorth?
I wired an idiot light to the charge wire in my 40 to let me know if it was/wasn't working.

There is a fusible link under the 80amp main that can appearantly get corroded and cause issues... seeing how it’s getting charging voltage I doubt that’s it but I’ll check it. I still don’t know why I’m getting different voltage on different sides of that 7.5 amp fuse terminal (fuse removed). If I can’t track it down I’m just going to replace the fusible link, 7.5 fuse, alternator (with Toyota), and cross my fingers. My gut is telling me it’s something strictly in the fault circuit and not the charging circuit. Either something from alternator to fuse or a problem in fuse block itself... I dunno. I’m going to bed now. Tomorrow will be a beautiful day and I’ll have the top off : )
Well..... it went away after my drive to work. At least for now. I did top off the battery cells with distilled water before bed. I’ll keep an eye on it but for now all is well...
Well.... the hot/cold lever busted off today... I had to take everything apart to figure it out. I busted a plastic retainer on a plastic pin and chipped the ridges on the pin itself. I was able to snap a washer in pretty well in place of the retainer but this is not super solid. At least it’s a temporary fix until I figure out what to do.
I though about ordering the part below but the parts guy said it would not work unless I changed out all kinds of other stuff.... not sure why.

Does it just pivot on that piece? If so, why not just replace it with a bolt and washers and a nylon nut?
I think that’s all it does. There are 2 cables controlled by that leaver... one is for heater core and one is for heat/cool mixture. The blue cable is seized up. I’ll look through the FSM and see what can be done. I think I forced it and it popped the locking clip. I’ll tear everything apart again once I get a game plan. Hopefully I can manually operate that cable to cold somehow!
Boom... someone did exactly that... now to loosen that blue cable and re-clip it properly...

86-95 Trucks & 4Runners - Heater and A/C control assembly - G'day mates. So my 4Runner had some issues with the heat blowing out and given my tim the toolman uncle's short patience I have a control assembly issue. We were working the cables under the hood at the control valve and when he went to...

Heater control valve is seized... I need this. the cable wast moving freely so when I moved it to cool it kind of acted like a ramp and made everything go catywhompus ... which is what created extra stress on the plastic clip. Should be a pretty easy fix.

I hope I get that inspector for the diesel 
3/4 of my vehicles right now are riding dirty with expired safety, every time I show up to my local spot the inspector hasn’t showed up for the day or is “out to lunch”.
I think enforcement has been pretty lenient during Covid anyways.

Yea... this 4Runner is a cop MAGNET! Got pulled over twice already for no inspection.... but no ticket at least. Had to fix that! You know how they do.
Same here they got me on the frayed seat belt and cracked corner light lol hopefully they don't notice the parking brake not working on my other rigI hope I get that inspector for the diesel

I am lucky, I just write my own...
The same day you fixed my passenger occupant sensor I went and got a new sticker....just in caseThat's just bragging!! I don;t think anything I own has a valid sticker on it
In NC, anything 20+ years old just needs a safety inspection (until needing nothing at 35+ years) and cursory glance at the engine, BUT, SC has no state inspections at all, and I'm buying a house there in a couple weeks...It's good to have options.
