I searched the threads for factory manuals and found a couple of great links to toyota manuals on PDF. They do a good job of laying out the different systems and explaining troubleshooting and the like.

Yeah, that's my problem. Never seen one like it either. I had an 85 and my bro had an 87, and neither looked like that... Have seen one part for that style on ebay, but that is it. Anyone else ever seen that style door?

I would stick with the basics and do those steps I mentioned earlier. That should diagnose most of your possible problems. K-labs has a good point as well about flushing the radiator. If you approach it systematically, you are much less likely to end up throwing parts at it. When you have your...

Unfortunately, the motor is only a two wire, so it doesn't use a common ground. The switch is 5 pole, and reverses polarity on the motor. I have wracked my brain trying to figure out an easy solution to the switch problem, but I haven't come up with one. A 3 pole switch won't work because I...
