Looking for insight on some electrical issues I’m having:
It’s a japanese import 1995 1fzfe
About a week ago truck didn’t start. No crank, no lights nothing. Messed with battery terminals / fusible link and removed all aux wiring and occasionally truck would have power after I disconnected and reconnected the battery wiring but would lose all power again. Later Found that the main fuse box negative had jostled out of its connection. Fixed it and went on my way.
10+ days later a bunch of warning lights come on the dash the other day, assumed it was alternator as it was only charging at 11.7 volts. Not EVERY dash warning light was illuminated however, no CEL or air box restriction warning light-- just A/T temp, charging light, oil low warning and cat overheat light.
Continued driving last 2 days as new denso alternator is in the mail.
Today truck cranked fine but didn’t start at all. Replaced the fusible link and now it’s charging 14.7v again and started, but the idle is so low that it stalls and dies. Still driving it as its my daily, just using the hand throttle to keep rpms at about 750 so it doesn't die. (80's always can get you home)
*Noticed The AM1 main junction block off the fusible link had one of the terminal studs melting into the plastic when I replaced the fusible link. Not crazy, but noticibly melted the plastic around the eyelet connectors. the AM1 Main junction block is just an actual wingnut molded into the plastic holder so all that shows me is there was a large load on the old fusible link wiring.
Anyone have an issue like this before? I’m tired of having to fix this thing every day after work just to get home every day.
