Car Electrical

Hi there, I'm trying really hard to finish my ke55 hardtop auto to manual conversion ASAP. I'm stuck on wiring I think. putting the flywheel on yesterday I knocked the starter motor out and it sparked and I assumed it was dead. Ive got another incase, however I think my problem is that I have to bridge the wires off the centre console? at the moment whilst touching one of the red wires with either or both black wires the brake light on the dash goes on. unfortunately the red to red and black to black does nothing. When I turn the key all the electronics work, but the starter motor makes no noise. Please save me and blue beast. Gabriel.

Hi guys, Got a '75 ke35 and at the moment the tail lights are out, aswell as the Parker lights and all dash lights. Any suggestions on fixing this? A few people have said its just a fuse but I can only find 1 fuse box and they are all good? Any help is appreciated Thanks

Guys can anyone help me with the wiring under my steering i need a basic diagram for the wire color and what it is for please lights and indicators and instruments acting up. I want to rewire them before i go the way of putting relays on the lights.

Hi there, I've got a 1981 KE38 that I'm currently using as a daily. Its a stock 4KC and 5 Speed with the standard Carby and Bosch ignition. It was running fine for the past month and when I went to go for a drive on the weekend it wouldn't start, it only turned over. my father and I diagnosed the problem to be an electrical fault between the coil and the spark plugs. we have swapped out the coil, plug leads and distributor cap but haven't had any luck getting it running. The problem is something to do with the coil, as we have replaced it and there is no spark between the coil and the dizzy. We have checked voltages and get 11.8 volts at the ballast resistor and 8 vo…

OK, I've finally had to start on wiring the computer into the KE70. As far as I know its a big-port motor and loom, and a smallport ECU, all melded into a KE70 body loom and a Daihatsu Charade relay box. Sounds easy.. After a month I still couldn't understand where power went into the wiring loom, all the pins in the computer were taken and the loom looked like it had never been hacked. A closed circuit. There is NOTHING on the internet about it except "hack into blah blah and put it into pin so & so.." Only this afternoon I realised the plug I need to chop off is 6" shorter than the other two because Toyota must have made a 6" long T-piece body loom, one…

Hey I had my 4age running ruff but running .... And I come back the next day turn it over nothing, foot flat too the floor a little splutter of life. So I check the timing by turning it over its out. Getting it close by hand -5 deg, move the dizzy the slightest and it gone way off the grid. There is uncovered metal on my rotor down the face of it

So i have a ae71 tacho dash, i'm going to put it in my ke70 panel van. but none of the plugs line up, I've found a guide on toymod http://www.toymods.org.au/forums/tech-conversions/568-ke70-panel-van-dash.html still kinda can't get my head around it. any help would be great, i still have the 4k in my pano as well. thanks chris

The headlights on my ke35 where so appalling that I wasn't too keen to use the car at night. I remembered that altezzaclub posted a wiring diagram a while back with how to rewire them using a relay to stop the power getting sucked up by the cabling. I came across a ready made version of altezzaclub's diagram on eBay for the huge sum of $12, which I installed today. It took about 10 minutes to install and the result is brilliant. The brightness is easily double what it was. I needed to change the power wire to a longer one to reach the battery but apart from that, the installation was straightforward. Hopefully the cheap Chinese relays in the kit are safe. Tom…

My car has been fitted with a ae92 SX dash and it is not working correctly the main issues being: - RPM not working - When RPM is connected to the car it will not let the car start and if you have the car running and plug the rpm wire in it will stall the car. - When rpm wire connected the rear demister light will come on. I cannot find a reason for this I'm guessing it would be a wrong wire connected or the earths are not all connected. The sx cluster has been fitted to my ae92 4afc It would also help if someone has a wiring diagram for the ae92 SE 4afc and one for a SX cluster also. Anyone shed some light on this please.

Hi stuck on electrics again!!http://www.rollaclub.com/wiki/index.php?title=Tech:Engine/A_Series/Alternator_Wiring_Diagram So looking at this can i connect the sence wire back to the main battery charge wire ? The 12v swich from a ignition source,and the charge light from the original alt wiring (originally bosch alt ). This is correct or not?Also wire guage how big or is bigger better? Medicine man ,GJM or one of wiring guru s. Thanks inadvance Rob

Hey guys i have a thermo fan to setup on my corolla and have a thermatic switch i grabbed from an ae82 i think its on at 90 off 85, can't remember. Any ways looking for ideas on how to wire it into the car. I have found a few ideas and some must run 2 wires. This one only has a spade terminal. This is a pic i found on the net, an i on the right track?? Or is there ways to simplify it? Cheers

Hey guys, got a twin cam ae82, been swapped to a red top bigport. Upon buying I was told when the air condition/vent fan is turned on it blows the main engine fuse. Is this a common problem? Or just a little short somewhere? I would also like to get the air conditioning happening again, is it worth it? Cheers

Hello all. I have this problem with my key to my KE70, and when i turn it over to ignition position then it wont turn over, but when i take the key up/down inside the cylinder while i have it turned to iginition then it will fire. So basicly what I'm saying is that I'm going to change it out. If its not fixable(?) i don't know. I bought an aftermarket cylinder with just 3 cables to it, like this: And from my ke70 there comes 5 cables So my question is this, what cables do i need to put on the new one, and what are the other 2 calbes to. And yes i have checked the wiring diagram, but I'm asking just to be sure. Best regards, Hellkeepa

Hey guys! Just replaced my alternator and voltage regulator on my 79 corolla wagon with a 2tc. It charges the battery but ive been having to leave it for about 2 days for when i go to school. I come back and the battery is dead. Eversince i replaced the alt and reg the chg light on the dash turns on when i turn the car off. I'm guessing the light is draining the battery. Anyone have any ideas on why this is?

I've got a ke35 with the rectangular brake master cylinder. My pressure differential switch isn't connected and I can't find the wire in the loom. I assume its been cut off. I'm hoping someone with an original loom wouldn't mind taking a photo of their wiring to point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Hellc all I just bought a 82 sr-5 coupe with a 3tc engine. I went to upgrade my alternator. and ended up burning the wiring from alternator, to battery, to fuse box and everywhere in between. I have it wired up based off the original wiring so I know thats good, I just don't know how much burnet from the fire.. It literally s burnt up to the fuse box... Can it burn inside? will it ruin it? I hear these cars have fuse box problems anyways but I don't know if a deep cleaning and wire changing will work, or if it has to be replaced. I'm looking everywhere for one, but I think the reason I can't find it is because I'm looking up just corolla. What other cars take this item…

Sooo my 2T motor finally died and have upgraded to the 2Tgeu motor, its so close to being done we just can't figure out the last bit. (i'm not 100% sure of the problem so I apologize if this falls into the wrong category) Have followed this diagram http://khi-santh.canberracelica.org/files/2tgeu.pdf . At the moment it turns over and will only start for a few seconds (every so often) before shutting off again , suspecting its something to do with the fuel injection?? Anyone have any advice on where to even start?

I'm adding a relay to control my power feeds to my data logger and wideband so they don't run all the time. It will just be a simple system that is triggered by ignition power being turned on. My battery used to run down in about a week and a half the way it was in my ae71 without it. Want to improve that. Anyone know a relay type with 2 switched power circuits so I can use a single relay and switched 12 v trigger to feed both the logger and the wideband with separate 12 v circuits?

Hi guys. My Ke70 interior light on the roof and my opened door warning light does not seem to be working. i have checked the fuse behind the kickpanel and the fuses seem to be intact and not blown. is there something else I'm missing? and my dash clock is not working as well. thanks for your help!

Hey guys, I'm pretty new here but this site has helped me a lot. You guys are a wealth of knowledge and I really appreciate any advice i receive. I am currently trying to get my S14 VCT SR20 powered KE70 to start. I've been doing a conversion over the past 6 months or so and now pretty much everything is finished and ready for the road.....except for probably the most important aspect; the engine will not start. I may be in over my head when it comes to the electrical side but I am committed to finishing this project. I have the SR20 engine harness, gearbox harness and ECU, and I also have all the original looms from the KE70. I ran power to the KE70's igniti…

Hey guys need help, last night i went for a drive for about 30mins, I then left my car idling for about 5mins drove again and got about 1500m down the road and my car just died but radio, headlights, interior light etc was still on but tachometer wasn't. I tryed starting her but nothing, I got out checked all the fuses that I could find in engine bay and in the car but they were all good, tryed to start her again still nothing I then waited about 30mins and tryed again and it started but now the CHG lights on and my battery says it's fine but says it running on 14.5v-15v when it starts up. Any ideas on what it could be?

Hello! Attention: My english is not good, but I hope you get my point I'm 17 years old car enthusiast from Estonia and I'm having a problem with my KE70. This winter something happened with kick panel fuse box, I opened it and saw that some of the circuits (aluminium parts) had blown. It melted the plastic around the circuits and the fuse box is now a pretty big mess :D, so I don't know which circuits to solder and which not. I would be very thankful if someone, who has the same fuse box, would disassemble it and take pictures of different layers there. I found possible problem and fixed all the wiring harness, so I don't think that the circuits blow again…

Light in question is marked with yellow line. I can't quite make out what it says in this picture, and the one on my car has the red lense missing or pushed in. Currently it is on constantly in my car. Thanks. (Note: Picture courtesy of Google images).

Hi It sound like a retarted question but i just bought a rock stock Phillips casette player from a 1981 ke55/50 for $5 It looks like this I'm trying to hook it up to my 1977 Ke30 Does the wiring loom from my car clip into player or am i going to have to make modifications? Thanks *EDIT How about just a wiring diagram of the tape player? can't seem to find information about it

gday all. i have a 5k/3k-b engine that i want to run with and an older crane 6600 ignition box and optical pickup dizzy that according to the crane tech guy will work together. My questions are, I have a bosch mec717 coil, do ineed the bim024 module to run it or does the box do it ? also i understand white wire from the dizzy sensor goes to white trigger wire on box, black to body earth, and then instuctions say red wire "12v+ switched" i assume this means to coil+ or should I put in a relay to get 12v+ from battery ? sorry if these are basic questions, cheers anyway .. :thumbsup:

Hey, I've just picked up my 2nd ke70 and this one is unregistered but doesn't need much. My indicators when I turn them left or right it puts on hazard lights is this a wiring issue or be a globe issue. They do flash the lights so I'm guessing a wiring issue (ground/fuse/connection issue) any help would be awesome ill share some photos soon its flat front too. c:

If your looking to run a cdi type box like msd there's a little issue with the internally regulated distributors for k motors It's common knowledge we use the original dizzy wire and we add a coil positive wire for the electronic distributor. If you use an alternate ignition source for that added wire then you can use the cd box with the same wiring configuration as for a points ignition.

Hey guys firstly hello to all! First post! .. anyway i urgently need help... i have a 93 ae92 twincam corolla. And i was washing some oil of the engine, trying to be carefull and stay away from the alternator dizy etc... anyway after that i went for a drive and the battery light came on. so i pulled the cables off and blew water out of the plugs etc.. while doing so i accidenly shorted the tab (the one that goes inside to the rectifier i assume) that the large rectangular diode on the back of the alternator connects to and now it wont start! The battery has plent of juice but i just wont kick over! What have i blown? Please help guys i need my car! I…

hey all Just had a look online but couldn't find anything, would anyone know where to get 4age ecu female connectors, I've got a aftermarket ecu for my ae92 but I don't want to cut the harness so if I could make a adapter loom, it would be heaps better. Thanks all!!

Hy guys never thought I'd be one of those people that ask questions on a forum but I'm seriously out of ideas. car - ke70 engine - jdm bigport 4age problem- wont rev ok so Ive just bought a 4age ke70 from a friend that just seems to not run right, it'll idle just fine but as soon as you blip the throttle it does and starts to stall like its sucking in too much air and not supplying the fuel for it. but if you disconnect any injector and rev it, then it revs fine just on 3 cylinders. The moment you plug the injector back in it doesn't rev at all once again. If you hold the throttle open the minimalist amount you can allow it to slowly pick up to 6000r…

can i get someone to take a picture of the internals of a 4age distributor as i am modifying a super charged distributor to go in a n/a 4age i need to see the relationship of the rotor button to the reluctor tips, for g1pick up, at top dead centre no# 1 that is the top pickup closest to the rotor button the reluctor that was on the super charged dizzy had one tip . i belive an n/a distributor has 4. i would really appreciate it as this is the only thing that is stopping me from starting my new race car.

Ok I have a 4k engine on my test stand it has a denso alternator with an internal regulator if i connect the 3 pin plug all wires double checked for correct wiring and the B post cable to Battery positive when ignition is on I get no charge lamp but when i crank the engine I get a charge light. If I remove the cable from the B post light comes on with ignition please help thanks

Hay people I'm just wondering where abouts the brake light earth is on the KE70, my RH brake light is staying on when i put my lights on but the LH light is working fine so its not the brake switch. Thanks people.

I took the car for a drive today and when I went to restart it to come home, all I got was a click. The motor didn't try to turn over at all. After a few goes and a few clicks later, it started easily. It did it again later. The battery has got 13.5v and the alternator is making 14.5v. The engine oil is black and the coolant is fine. The electrical connections seem ok. It was a hot day today. The motor is a high compression 4K. (5k head) it's a 3 speed gm auto. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hey guys! Suddenly i noticed that my ammeter is reading +30 when running and about +10 on idle. I always see the meter at 0 so i got worried. What are the possible scenarios that caused this and should i be alarmed? I ran the car for about 20mins and its still the same. Cheers!

I found myself without any brake fluid the other day. I was wondering why the warning light didn't come on. As far as I can tell, it's not connected. There are three empty plugs coming off the wiring loom and I'm wondering if one of these should be connected. Ones got one wire, one two and the other three wires. Any help would be appreciated. thanks Peter

iv got this 4age with side draft carbs to get it running I had to get a internally ignited 4k dizzy made to it fit that was easy enough then to wired it up I put two wires coming of the dizzy going to positive and negative on coil then a Constance positive coming from ignition I did that and it ran straight away then I left it for two weeks and now not getting spark the wires still get power I just don't know how to check if the coil and dizzy are working properly any advise wold be awesome cheers

Hey guys, I'm getting a knock sensor error - could there be any other reasons this is occuring - or just need a new knock sensor. Cheers

Hi I have just bought a brand new distributor but have a few questions 1. does this have a built in igniter 2. It has 2 wires one black and white the other brown how do I wire it up ? 3. What coil would you recommend Thanks in advance Loz

Ok, so I've got this really rev-happy race engine on bike carbs and I'm after a tachometer that can match the revs with minimum jittering and lag. It's kinda hard to find information on this online because everyone's into fvcking turbos these days and throttle response is literally laughable (everyone I talk to laughs hysterically at the ludicrous idea of an engine actually making power, WHEN YOU BLOODY WELL WANT IT). What are some good starting points to look at? What are the racers using? I'd like to see it in action to gauge responsiveness before committing to buy and go to the effort of fabricating a cluster surround.
