Love those Tercell 4x4 wagons but they sure suffer from road noise.

Re: engine swap 3AC to 3A wont idle just wanna...
There are two relay looking boxes attached to the drivers side wheel well by the fuse box anyone know what those do and is there a seperate ground wire for the fan. I took out my AC didnt work any thing i should be aware of as far as wiring goes?

Re: engine swap 3AC to 3A wont idle just wanna...
there is one behind the battery on the side of the inner fender well, that would be an external volage regulator. Most of the Tercel4wd had alternators with internal volatage regulators (the connecetors and wire harness is different), but some of the '83 and '84 had an external volage regulator mounted behind the batter on the inner fender. I think you might be refering to "box" that just contains an in-line fuseable link, also not common to all of the Tercels, as I recall most just have the fuse box with a square fuseable link inside it.

Re: engine swap 3AC to 3A wont idle just wanna...
Those look like aftermarket relays. Fog lights perhaps?
Re: engine swap 3AC to 3A wont idle just wanna...
+1 on the a/m relays- wiring doesn't look factory either.
if it aint there, there's a good chance it won't break!

This is from an 87 FWD, the fuse diagram on my 84 has worn off.

A new radiator auto zone is 100 bucks.
Almost all of the fixer uppers i buy and sell have needed one.
They get clogged up if you use tap water most people are don't realize this always use distilled water.

Re: engine swap 3AC to 3A wont idle just wanna...
Cant download pictures on the phone for some reason. So after replacing all sensors and thermostat and tested them they all work .what about the relay switch in the fuse box. ?
