Car Electrical

Hey guys, i need help with my 2004 corolla sportivo. It came with aftermarket tail lights that had 4 bulbs on each side and i bought the stock lights and went to put them on to find out that stock ones only have 3 and theyre different sized sockets. SO I'm completely lost as to what to do? heres a few pictures, maybe someone can help and tell me what i need to buy in order to make this work. AND this is my car :) LOVE OR HATE.

I was pulling the dash cluster out of the KE70 and the light went out in the cabin. I later tested the leads to the stereo with multimeters and it was dead. When I plugged the dash back in again the digital clock wasn't working. The rest of the instruments are functioning though. I checked the fuse box and they all look fine. I'll replace them all anyway though, seeing as they're a bit aged now. Is there something else I can test to diagnose the problem?

Hey just changed the battery on my corolla today and now when I try and start the car I don't get reds just my radio intrieor light and tachometer come on, using the lights, trying to turn the motor over, and hitting the breaks all kill the power completely then if I turn everything off and take the key out for a min it will do the exact same thing, anyone got any ideas as to what this could be? Cheers

I have put a 3k in a ke35 i got from the wreckers everything i have managed to wire up properly except the alternator. It is the externally regulated type and i have found where it plugs into. but i need a section of wiring in between. basically I need to know which pole on the alternator goes to which part of the connector? The male connector that goes into the alternator and the one pictured below are the same size/shape. can I just go off that? and the B+ pole can just go the the positive terminal can't it? Thanks, Ben

hey guys, so I just bought a ke70 off a fellow members and I was testing out what works and what doesnt. I turn the lights on and put on the left blinkers and the lights turn off and when I click it off they come back on... the parkers stay on but I realise that the light on the dash and parts of the car flashes faster then usual but the right ones fine... I'm not really sure what it is, was thinking a wire or fuse but no clue with corollas. used to my skyline haha. cheers. :)

ive just bought some blue instrument cluster bulbs for my AE93 SX, and was in the process of removing my cluster when i struck a problem. i have removed all the screws holding the cluster in place, but i wont come out. it'll move a few mm forward but no more. i think the speedo cable is holding it back. i didnt want to pull incase it broke. would it be alright if i pulled it or is there another way around to remove it? any help appreciated. Cheers, Taylor btw SX cluster.

can I replace the links circled with a blade type fuse? My KE70 4AGE was using the stock KE70 fusible links. Or would replacing them with wire type fusible links be a better idea? EDIT: Its just the 80A one I need to replace. Cheers. Reed.

My 7K-E didnt came with startermotor.. I installed 2k startermotor. The engine cranks perfect without sparks plugs installed but when i install sparks plugs the engine stops cranking , My question. Does 7k and 2k uses the same startermotor or its different? Some one told me that 7k Startermotor is twice the power of 2k's one.. 2: i have a 5k CDI distributor, WILL IT ok on 7K-E. Many thanks.. Salman

Hi my 1975 ke35 has no power to the ignition or horn, headlights, instrument pannel, radio, etc. it was completely fine before i put the engine in (haven't fiddled with the wiring). all the fuses i can find are fine. Could this be why I have no spark? Any help would be appreciated.

a few days ago some lovely people broke into my ke35, and broke off a drill piece in the ignition barrel in my ke35 does anyone know how to get the barrel out so I can replace it? cheers, cactus Bob

hi , does any one know about why my dash lights in my ke70 don't work , checked all the fuses , all 3 fuse boxes and can't find any broken ones , is there a inline fuse some where , there is no power going into the dimmer switch , every thing else works , but no dash lights , thanks , mic .

hey guys i need help, i have brought a ke70 1983 and the high beam relay is missing and i need to know what part number it is so i can get a new one?

weird problem when i indicate left the blinker stays on... not only does it stay on the parker turns on not the blinker at front the side and rear blinkers just stay on right side works fine i may have disconested a few wires when doing the conversion but all plugs to indicators are correct and ideas guys?

Hi Guys, I need some help with my 1996 Toyota 1.6 petrol Corolla 4A-FE engine (75k miles) which generally runs well, but I have noticed the engine “tick over” has started to increase, sometimes 1500 rpm even when it is hot. I took the car to a MOT testing station and was told it would fail on emissions. Whilst there I removed the fuel injection systems fuse to “reset” it. The emissions were rechecked and I was told it would pass and the tick over was back to 800 RPM. . RESULT !! Unfortunately this only lasted for a short time and then reverted back to high tick over and poor emissions again. The question is: what is making the fuel injection CPU set itself to an i…

Greetings all, I Have a 2005 Corolla which has no headlights at the moment. On First setting of light switch - parking lights and instrumentation lights work. On Second setting - no low beam. Push light switch stalk toward dashboard - no high beam. Pull light switch stalk toward steering wheel to flash high beam - high beam works. I removed the low beam bulbs and connected them individually to battery power just to make sure they weren't both blown - they work. I then located the 2 15 A fuses in the fuse box in front L/H side of engine bay (L/H & R/H Headlight) - they're both O.K. Then I took out the fuses and checked across the fuse fixtures with a multi-…

I know there is a few threads on this but none seem to be the same as the issues I'm having. So every light in the entire car(this includes parkers) works but the headlights. none of the wires coming of the stalk are broken which seems to be the common issue. I've tried swapping the relay with others that I know work. There is no blown fuses. The problem started after my 4age conversion. I did unbolt all the wires and stuff from the drivers side guard( wiper motor and etc) Are any of the headlight components? Earth or something?

Hey all, it is a 20v Silvertop, Anyone have any opinions on why if I pour fuel into the throttle bodies and start the engine, it runs till its out of fuel, yet there is no injector pulse? I am still using the FWD wiring loom UNCUT as I only put the engine in for an event this weekend. I can't figure out why it would have been running perfectly in the FWD car and now it's not going. Its still a standard Silvertop ECU. Perhaps it could be something like part of the interior loom that is still in the other car that needs to be there? Although I'm just powering the ECU from my ignition switch and I've left most of the stuff that would have been in the kick panels disconne…

Hey guys, Putting a cyclops in a mates ke70 at the moment. Got it all wired up for testing, hit a few problems. It won't arm or disarm, central locking works but won't work if the -ve door switch isn't earthed what is strange cause your door has to be open to lock it. I have got the immobilizing part wired up would this be effecting it? I can up wiring pages and all that if its needed. And my mate also lost the pin code for it but that shouldn't matter yet cause we can't even get to the point of needing it. Any help would be great.

Hey i need some help my Ke70 was using gage cluster DX know i want using gage cluster KE70 GL who can give me as screen shot wiring or wiring diagram for this...really need help sir...

Hi guys I'm having trouble with my head lights it all started when a bear wire going from the battrey to a relay arked out and melted the relay, i replaced it and the wire and no i have no headlights, I'm tries checking all the grounds in the engine bay and ive changed the stalk and tail realay and same problem, i don't even think the headlights have any thing to do with the realy that melted but it seems it does, can anyone give me any info about this shit i don't have money for a auto sparky

Hi all, just wondering, i have purchased a Smallport and its got 2 looms, one loom i have plugged up to the engine and the other loom I'm not sure what it is? Its definitely different to the engine loom, is it possibly an interior loom? and the smallest plug that goes into the ECU has cut wires, where does this go to? And can I run my original interior loom with the ECU? Also, is there any plugs on the engine that wont need to be plugged in at all? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi people. When i change the dome light today there was a little spark when i turn it on, and now the dome light and the CD player is not working but everything else is fine. I think it was a short circus so I checked the fuse box and all the fuse are good. Checked the fuse thats on the back of the CD player and its also fine. When i was driving it tonight the back light of the LCD screen on the CD player comes on and off for a few times. Does this happen to anyone before? I search the web but couldnt find anything. BTW, my car is a 92 corolla. thanks

So my car has been wiring from an arrangatang. Wires going all over to the accesory fuse panel, no fuses, no relays. I bought a Quikcar ignition panel to wire up and need some help deciding what to do. I have a push button start with 6 accesory switches. Fuel pump, Fan, Horn, starter, wipers, ignition. The switch panel has fuses for each switch already. Should I put a relay in between each switch and componet or just one in between power and a distribution box to power all the switches? I will show pics of what I have now and a diagram later.

My horn doesnt work :wink: Is there any other fuse boxes other than the one near the battery under the bonnet? What other reasons could it be? any help would be appreciated

I have 2 problems that I need to sort out. The first being when I start the car and put the lights on, the rear brake lights will pulse or randomly flicker for about 30 seconds or so when the brake pedal isnt pressed. After approx 30 seconds they stop flickering and the lights work as they should. What is buzzling me is why wouldnt this be a constant problem instead of disappearing after the 30 seconds which has me thinking its more then just a simple wiring fault. Second problem is battery light comes on in the morning. Usually after a couple of minutes of driving, the battery lights goes off. The last week or so the light randomly comes on whilst driving to work…

hi all, this should be simple hopefully. going from ae71 auto to manual I have all the wiring sorted except the starter. on the back of the firewall the black connector with about 6 wires, I thought that bottom centre was the starter wire, do I just route that to my starter because I used a multimeter and it still has continuity even when I don't turn the key. Then on the other side of the engine bay near the battery there is a black and white wire, when I do continuity between that one and the one on the black connector continuity is perfect (key to start), but I don't understand what I have to wire to the starter. And how many terminals are there actually o…

hey peeps, i have recently put a efi 4age bigport into my t18. i have driven it on the road and it seems to run smooth but..... i can't run with the TPS. if the TPS is plugged in it will only rev to about 3k and then it auto cuts the revs to just above idle then returns to around 3k and back again. you can hold your foot flat to the floor and it only revs so high then the revs drop right off. revs up for about a second and backs off for about a second. also i have not noticed any change with or without the exhuast sensor. the wiring harness and motor were out of a doner car and I'm not sure how it ran before i got it and put it in my t18. the wiring harness was been…

So... I went and bought a KE Motorsport electronic dizzy, read up about it and fitted it. 10minutes work! Two wires, vac advance on, check idle timing... done! How to do it is here- http://www.rollaclub...70/page__st__45 Jumped in, drove away, and...... it was a DOG under 3000rpm. Even after that it wasn't fast... So I stopped and wound on some advance, tried it, added advance, tried it, did it again. When I got home I put a timing light on it, and it was running 18deg at idle!! Research time- read some topics here on Rollaclub & it appears they are for HiAce vans! Time to find out what is wrong- First up, I put the timi…

Hey guys nearly done in the 4age wiring department, but there is 2 black with red fleck wires coming from the engine side of the ignitor, join tegether and then to a single clip plug, now I don't know what the plug is for and its not plugged into anything, is this reason for no sparky sparky? The wire is a brown one on the ignitor side of the green plug and then turns into the double black with red fleck ones if that helps? Please help, we have tried 2 sets of leads, 2 dizzies, 2 ignitor packs, 3 coils and new plugs,pretty much at the end of what we can do at home here

Hey guys, I've recently inherited a project to finish off a friend. Its a AE86, that's most of the way through a 4AGE bigport conversion. Anyway, trying to get it finished now for him now, and I can't seem to get spark (taking spark plug out and grounding it on battery to check it). Now I haven't done any of the wiring so I have no clue where to start and I am new to the 4AGE world. So far I've checked/tried: Made sure that the ECU has power Made sure the Coil had power Tried coil with relay Tried coil straight onto battery (positive only) Changed distributor Checked earths at ECU Added earth onto engine Checked coil had power whilst cranking (obvious…

my ke30 is having ignition problems =( So, I turn the key to start it like normal, it starts, but as soon as I let go of the key it turns off.. to keep the car running I have to hold the key on the whole time. makes driving really hard considering I have to keep hold of the key and the wheel at the same time... I've tried a new ignition barrel and its not that, also tried disconnection the barrel and stating it with a screw driver, same thing happens, I have to hold the screw driver turned... So i thought i would try on here before i book in to a auto electrician, does anyone have any idea whats going on??

Quick question, I'm sitting here making a new loom for my alternator, do I need to use an aternator warning lamp on 4age ? I just don't want to go and make it all pretty only to have to turn around and run another wire for the lamp.. I can't start the car to fins out if I need one or not.

Hi all, Recently purchased a set of these: Now I've done a fair bit of searching and still havn't got a strong idea of how to wire these up. Mounting is straight forward, but if anyone has experience with these particular mirrors it would be muchly appreciated if you could point me in the right direction. After coming across this article: http://www.rollaclub.com/faq/index.php?title=Upgrades:Corona_Power_Mirrors_into_late_KE70/AE71 I've got a basic understanding of how power mirrors are wired in older Toyotas. Now would something like: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TOYOTA-AVENSIS-MK1-MIRRORS-CONTROL-SWITCH-84870-05020-98903221000-1998-2003-/290609734…

hey all just thought i would help out the fellow corolla world and confirm that a sv21 camrey plug fits a 4age loom for the body plug (14 pin one) very common to forget when converting ;)

hey guys just put a 4ag into my ke70 got it all wired up, injectors had power, ecu had power, fuel pumps are working, had spark... turned it over for the first time an nothing, had a look an now I'm not getting any spark? coil is fine got a huntch its the ignitor motor is out of a fwd ae82 corolla, was running fine before it was removed anyhow after some help to try get it running before friday asap located northern suburbs of adelaide any help would be much appreciated

hey my radiator fan runs full time if plugged in but was running properly up until my a/c compressor was pulled out any ideas?thanks

Hey guys, I have searched and can't find the info I'm chasing, Basically I'm going to be running and engine some what like a 4age 20v with the distributer on the back of the head, to fit this into my ae71 I need to get a stand alone ignition system that uses a crank angle sensor, My main question is, Will a MSD 6AL do the job, will it run coil packs, can I run a knock sensor, will it even run the crank angle sensor, The reason I'm trying to stay away from a full after market computer is its going to be carb'd and I'm looking for a more old school DIY tunable approach Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance, Casey

Hi Guys I'm interested to hear if anyone has any info about these ECU's. Mainly interested to learn if anyone knows whether they use low or high resistance injectors. Also on the lookout for an instruction booklet. I realise it is in Japanese but should be able to get it interpreted. I know it uses 250cc injectors, and there is a little info about them on Club4AG EDIT: THIS IS SORTED, THANKS

hey guys ive got a 4agze motor in a ae82, its single coil version that was air flow metred and i have no ecu or loom for it. But i do have a ecu and loom for a 4agze that had twin coils and was map sensored. can i make it work on my ae82 that had only single coil? cheers :)

Hey, I'm building my car slowly, and i was going to use aftermarket ECU but I'm considering engineering and a standard ECU is required unless the engineer can prove it is not fit to purpose. I'm just a bit confused as to which way to go. I have 3 ECU's/2 looms and a motor currently running AFM. My issue with running the current ECU is it is not a factory ECU.. Well i don't believe it is. It looks very different to what the 4age ones are and it may be from another car because it also is running a 4k style dizzy.. I have no idea what my loom is from? and i don't know if it will matter? And I have identified one ECU to be from an AE82 with part number 89…
