Hey guys,

I have no headlights, taillights, indicators, interior lights or dash lights. (battery light will come on when I switch the headlight switch - but will remain on until the battery is disconnected)

I do not have the two green ECU relays in currently..but have tested with friends and the same issue persists.

I have checked all under dash fuses...all good. Not sure about engine bay fuses though.

I have taken some photos of some plugs that I cannot find homes for..could you guys take a look at them and tell me what they are for?

THANKYOU FOR UNDERSTANDING I AM YOUNG AND THIS IS ALL PRETTY NEW TO ME HENCE I AM A CAR NOOB.

This splices out from the starter motor / alternator loom. Can't find anywhere to plug it into the alt?

These two plugs are coming out of the fuse box...no where for them to be plugged in?

These two plugs seem to be related to the headlights..but once again nothing to plug into?

These two plugs again seem to be near the headlights..any clue?

I believe one plug is for the power steering reservoir which has been cut on mine, but the other two don't seem to have a place?

Again, not sure what this plug does / where it goes.

This last plug looks important..but again no luck in finding where it goes. Help would be greatly greatly appreciated please :D

Fuark Maaate - good luck. Shoulda kept walking and kept your money.

Grab someone who has a 32 GTS-t and experience to help spend time sorting it. Park side by side

Who ever did that mess should of labelled when pulling plugs n cables etc...

Rusty as.

Good experience tho

Ps. Some plugs don't have a mate

The car was a rolling shell. I haven't touched any of the body loom..but I have put the engine loom and engine in myself.

Oh and as for the rust, that's the only place in the whole shell that has rust, so I'm not worried. Already got a plate to tack in there.

Green cable looks like the one connected to the ignition barrel. The one off it could be for the Ring that lights up the barrel ?

The one near the fuse box is that for consult ?

In Picture 1 and 2 you seem to be missing a resistor which attaches to the body.

Two of those plugs connect to it and a third which splices off it is not used.

Sort of like the Low impedance resistor for the injectors on the RB26

Cheers thanks man. I took two more pics.

First pic is another plug that I have no bloody clue what it is. I somehow missed it before. Any idea?

Second pic is where that resistor is supposed to go. Doesn't look like anything has ever been there on this car, although it could be mounted further back.

PS. Thanks for helping man, I really appreciate it.

I made a quick video that might explain the problem a little bit better.

So basically, no ignition lights or power to anything else in the car. Windows, all lights, indicators.

Car will turn over when key is turned, but fuel pump is not priming and possibly no spark. Is it possible this is being caused by something that isn't earthed? I have tried looking for all earths and grounding them to the chassis / engine.

Cheers guys.

The silver resister box is the resistor for the air reg. Air reg will close from engine bay heat anyway.

The plugs under the steering column, where you're holding one wire, I'm guessing you've got a turbo timer loom there.

If so I'd chuck the turbo timer and associated plug-in-loom, then things will look much better.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
