Hi All -
I recently finished a bunch of mechanical work on my FJ40 1970 ('71 wiring diagram). I must have messed something up because now, when I go to start the vehicle, I constantly get a 20 amp fuse burning out. It is the fuse that goes to the yellow (oil press. ga, temp ga, and fuel gauge) and red-blue lines (back-up light/switch).
Reading past threads on the forum, I removed the fuse, attached an amp meter on the fuse block, and turned on the ignition switch. I got zero amps. I removed all the components on the lines, turned on the ignition switch, and still got zero amps. Thinking my meter was broken, I check the voltage across that fuse and got the normal 12 volts. I then put another fuse in, and it burned out right away.
Any thoughts as to what is going on? I figured with no amps, the fuse would not burn out. However, it continues to burn out right away.
Thanks for any help
