Re: New AC compressor

Not low on refrigerant or compressor oil.
Is there a way of jumping the low ac sensor and get it to engage?
If so where is it located at. Photos help.
Thanks

New AC compressor

Well I just replaced my alternator ( see other post).
While I was going to replace my alternator I might as well replace my ac compressor since it in the same area. I now have a break dash light on ( long story in other post, see below ). Long story even longer. The new compressor doesn’t engage ...

Switched Turn signals to LED . Hyper Flash

Switched turn signals to Amber LED Bulbs, now have hyper flash.
I heard you can change out the flash relay to fix the problem.
Okay, where is the flash relay located at on 1984 Toyota Tercel 4WD DXL?
Or is there another solution?
Let me known.
Thanks

Re: In line fuse for just the rear Hatch Light?


Drop the assembly out of the ceiling and confirm that you are getting twelve volts to it. The contacts are pretty finicky for the bulbs. The door switches turn on whichever light is selected on 'door'. The rear light is not exclusive to the switch. I can't remember exactly where the contact switch ...

Re: In line fuse for just the rear Hatch Light?


No, but you may need to check the contact switch for where the hatch closes


I have a 1984 Toyota Tercel DXL 4WD and can't find the contact switch for the back hatch. There is an on / off switch directly on the light itself. Help.
The other 4 doors have them on the body with the rubber boot ...

Re: Rear Hatch light


Something on the other side of the housing is messed up, at least this was the case for me. I can't remember a whole lot, but I took it apart and soldered some wires to some bad connections and have some half-ass led light strips on there.

If need be, I can take it out again and look around and ...
