Happy New Year All.
I have a 66,FJ-45 with all kinds of year discrepancies. A few weeks ago my wipers went out while driving in the rain. With them I also lost directional's and the fan motor for my vintage air setup.
I traced the short to the wiper motor, which is a 75-80 LHD. When I opened up the motor gear plate I found two of the three contacts worn down and one worn one contacting the only full one left. My first thought was to replace the worn contacts. As I did I realized one of them is a ground and all of them contact a metal plate so there was no way it should work. After putting it all back together I still had a dead short. I disconnected the ground and then the middle contact before getting it to work without blowing the fuse. It appears my motor has been altered to work with the setup that it was not made for.
The switch I have is a pancake dial with four contact points. I cant find it in anything in a pre 69 search and later years look nothing like it.
Does anyone have or know of this switch? (pic added at the bottom) Is it even Toyota?
I'm looking for wiring diagrams (not schematics) for both 64-69 & 75-80.
Regards.
