Thanks RAD4runner. You've been a big help

So dimmer switch went bad. Had a spare so got dash lights I think. At least got light at heater controls. But still have the other issues. I will track more wires tomorrow. No more time left today. Stupid swing shift.

1986 22re 5speed. Got a multimeter and use it religiously. Have schematics in a Haynes manual but it doesn't show anything for the dash lights. It just shows indicator lamp. Talked to a guy at work be said possibly the panel on the back of the gauge cluster went bad. That's on my list to upgrade...

Ok so I've been driving/fixing my 4runner for a few weeks now. Runs great finally. Problem is I have no dash lights, check engine light stays on (code 11), and the most recent discovery is when light switch is on my back window quits working. I have been tracking wires and researching in my...

I forgot to mention it's an 86. No crank position sensor. You can hear the miss and see it on the tach.

Since getting my 4runner back on the road it developed a problem. It will start missing between 2-4k rpm. Ran diagnostic check got code 12. Engine speed (rpm) sensor circuit-distributor, ignitor, starter or ECU. I tested signal generator and coil, both good. I checked air gap its good. I have...

Finally got it running today. The problem was a connection. I believe it's the check connector. It got bumped when I had the air cleaner out for my buddy's truck. Thanks for all the help

Here is what I got with all the voltage tests AM1-12.5v AM2-12.5v ACC-0v IG1&2-0 No stereo in so didn't test that since no power going through ignition. All tests were done as instructed. Thinking next step is to replace ignition switch

The copper plate is still in place. I got an 80 amp fusible link wire from Napa with a short price of 10ga wire. I'll get back with everything in the next couple days.

I finally got some time to work on my runner. Started getting no power to anything. So I was wiggled wires and found the fusible link wire going from the battery to the fuse box. Now my issue is that the one end in the fuse box broke off and I cant seem to find the rest of it (i.e.... where does...

Thanks I will check all that and post what I find. Unfortunately I haven't had any time to work on it.

Hazards work. Getting power through am1 and am2. Got power at steering column. No power to engine fuse or ecu

never thought to check the hazards. I will look at the AM1 and AM2 circuits. thanks

First off I have research the problem and searched threads for an answer. My 86 4runner has sat for almost a year due to lack of funds to fix. I finally got the money and all the parts needed. So I got it all together and no power except to the headlights. I jumped the "white wire", checked...
