What is this plug for??? Tough question... (1 Viewer)

[Tofudebeest]

It is located directly under the center console in my 10/87 FJ62, running from the harness near the rear heater switch wire/plug.

So far the only guesses, and I don't know what the right answer is, are:
* heated front seats (likely ruled out by John at Radd, the heated seat plugs look different on his 88 62 and his HJ61), or
* the FJ62 Sahara (non-USA) center console fridge/freezer unit.

What I really want to know is if it gets constant power or switched (my multimeter is fried), what amp, and if it is fused (and if so, which fuse). I want to run my handy-dandy inside console mounted 12v cig lighter socket from an existing, dedicated power source so I do not have to splice into my rear heater fan switch lines.

Thanks.

I just pulled my rear heater and put an inverter there and was wondering the same thing.

All the connectors under the console on my 11/87 fj62 are connected. The only 6 pin connector plugs into a relay and is flatter and longer than that. Anything disconnected on your Cruiser? Heater?

Why not just rig up a test light... ground one side of a bulb, (grab a tail light bulb) use a wire to probe the plugs, and power the light. Once you find a live wire, start pulling fuses to see if it goes out.

Or... you could spend $6 and buy yourself a new meter and do it in 1/64th of the time.

Flux capacitor?

What about your seat belt warning light?

On the fj60 the Cat temp probe is right there. On a 62 it may be for the O2 sensors.

Hmmmm....

Anyone else?

10/85 - 1/90 it could be for one of these. Or at least it would be cool to think so...

My 60 had a phone in that location when I bought it. A friend just picked up an '87 and it has the same thing in it. Weird.

No idea what its for - sorry.

One thought though is to look in the electrical diagram section of the FSM...I think most of the options Mr T had on 60's are there (including the non-NA market options). Might be some clues there as to what the plug was for, and certainly it will help you identify what wires are hot/ground/switched/etc.

See second asterisk in the original post.

I looked, saw nothing. I'll look again.

Yessir, saw that.
Just thought you needed a pic to drive the wishful thinking mystery connector home.
