Hi, in the process of changing out the power steering on my daughters AE82. I'm replacing it with non-power steering (sick of the oil leaks). Now the steering knuckle is about 2 inches short of where it needs to be.. My question? Is the steering column different between manual and power steering? Car is an 88 AE82 Seca, manual steering rack came out of an 85 AE82 sedan. Does this make any difference? Cheers m00nee

As far as the AE8x series: AE80 came with the 2A-C AE82 came with the 4A-C AE82 Twin Cam came with the 4A-GE Only the Hatch and Seca came in Twin Cam. don't know the AE9x series well enough to be certain, but from memory the 4A-GE was an option on the CSi, so AE94's only. Going from the differences in the head gaskets i do not think the heads are interchangable,

Hi, Was wondering if the power steering rack is interchangeable between an AE82 and an AE92. Only asking as both the rack and pump are leaking on the daughters Seca and I have the choice of converting it to manual steering or replacing it with the parts from my AE92 parts car. Thanks m00nee

B.L.Z.BUB, One FX16 full body wiring diagram, courtesy of the twin cam site. Now to work out where the power is going to....

Trev. much appreciated B.L.Z.BUB, thanks, i'll check out the twin cam site.

So, my daughter is now the proud owner of 1/2 an AE82. A lot of extra room inside with most of the dash missing. Pity i still haven't traced the cause of the issue. Does anyone have, or can the direct me towards a complete copy of the AE82 factory wiring diagram for an '88 AE82 CS-X Seca (single cam). The gregory's manual wiring diagram is giving me more headaches than answers. The engine wiring that B.L.Z.BUB provided shows the wiring in question going to the ignition switch (tested), the stop lights (tested) and then disappears off the page :(

B.L.Z.BUB, Thank you, you're a legend. Looks like i've got a dash to pull apart though :(

OK, still working on this one. Have worked out that the source of the extra power is coming through the 60amp fusible link off the battery marked AM1 Unfortunately all I have is a Gregory's to work from, which shows the three fusible links, but has 2 in series going to the heater motor.which I can't see being right Does anyone know which circuit the 60 amp fusible link AM1 is for?

I expected that the new head unit would draw more power, but realised that the new head unit has a 10 amp fuse, and the car has a 7.5 amp. I will add that the stereo has been working the whole time, it's just that the issue started after i changed it.

Hi B.L.Z.BUB, Used the original head unit wiring, but ran new speaker wiring. The car came with the factory radio cassette and as far as i can tell the radio wiring does not cross paths with the lights. m00nee

Hi all, I recently changed the stereo in the car (new head unit and speakers). A few weeks after this the fuse for the interior light started blowing. Ran a multimeter over it and it is trying to pull 27.5 amps through a 7.5 amp fuse. WTF! :rant: Tried removing the clock and cigarette lighter (on the same fuse) as well as removing the head unit. No change. The really odd part is when the car is on and you turn the parklights on the clock will work, even with no fuse installed. I'm hope that there is someone out there who can give me some ideas as to what it could be, or at least what could be drawing that sort of amps that could cross paths with the interior lights. Thanks m00nee

Been watching, just not finding :cool: Had a mirror lined up in Brisvegas but the guy dropped off the planet when i tried to organised to collect it..

Does anyone know where i can lay my hands on a passenger mirror for a KE70/EA71. A tacho dash would be nice too :cool:
