Re: Oil Light

Unfortunately none of the junk yards within say 100 miles of here have anything from the 80's! I'll try the parts store, or maybe just wrap some wire around it.

First Gen Tercel commercial

I was highly amused, and yet, I'm not sure I'd want to be doing that in my car!

Re: Oil Light

I lack the pigtail, all I have is a 2 inch male plastic connector, the type that self seals, it is still a good 6-8 inches away from the OPS. I took a picture but the baby stole the SD card reader. Will upload tomorrow. Keeping your post in mind I tried one of my female connectors leftover from the ...

Re: Oil Light

I am not sure what year tercel you have but that may be the wrong wire for the oil pressure light. The one for mine comes out of the harness that also goes to the back of the alternator. It attaches to a small pigtail that goes to the switch. Our cars don't have too many accessories but I seem to r...

Re: Light's on warning/chime?

My first gen has a really annoying buzzer for the seat belts / key left in the ignition, does the second gen have something similar?

If so you might be able to hack into that.

Re: 83 tercel 4wd complete car for $150.00

As much as I would love to take the whole car, I fear shipping it 1,700 miles would be cost prohibitive.

With that said I'll definitely take the inclinometer! Just PM me.

Re: Timing issue

Hey, I noticed that too, with constant vacuum instead of ported on the top port of my vac advance, both #1 and #4 show up at about 30* BTDC.

If I pull and plug, it goes down to the low 10's. I need to set it for good later this week.

Re: Oil Light

If the wire is not hooked up to the oil pressure switch, would the light be on or off by default? I'm going to hazard a guess (since my wiring diagram is at home) that the oil pressure being normal breaks the circuit, so when there is no pressure, it grounds the wire hence the light turns on. I grou...

Re: Oil Light

I had the screws off at one point but couldn't figure out how to pull it out enough to get my hands back there. I'll try again using your pictures as a reference, thank you!

Re: Oil Light

I tried grounding that wire to test the light, and no light. I guess the light is out too! I'll see if I can figure out how to get the cluster off without breaking anything to replace the bulbs later.

Re: 83 tercel 4wd complete car for $150.00

How is the body? Drivetrain? Is it repairable? Drivable?

Does it have AC? Manual or Auto?

Re: Oil Light

Okay, so I can safely ground that wire to test if the oil light comes on? I'll see if I can reconnect it then.
