One of my flashers isn't flashing, so I got this doodad to replace it:

Only thing is... I can't see where the dang thing is supposed to go. I can hear the left one ticking when it operates, but I can't find the right side flasher, because it's not operating. Can anyone save me a little time hunting for it?]]> 8 Sat, 01 Jun 2024 16:19:23 +0000 https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/heater-control-valve-help.30887/ https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/heater-control-valve-help.30887/ invalid@example.com (Minitrucker) Minitrucker 5 Thu, 18 Jan 2024 10:17:21 +0000 https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/no-power.30523/ https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/no-power.30523/ invalid@example.com (Minitrucker) Minitrucker

I have a 75 Hilux, and for some reason the horn and the hazards stopped working. The turn signals work, and the fuse for the turn signal is good.

Mine are suuuper sloooow - like literally takes a full two seconds to go across then back on the "fast" setting; slow setting is just ridiculous to watch. For sure I'm going to try and take apart the linkage arms and grease everything up to see what improvement that makes. Google search shows there are replacement motors available, but not sure if that's going to make them magically be sufficient to drive in...

Right now I'm working on completing everything from the chassis down to a fairly good standard. One thing I know is borked is the rubber coupler that goes between the steering box and the column. RockAuto has no replacements for any Toyota of that vintage. Ebay has some for N20s that also fit first gen Celica.

Does anyone know what parts are interchangeable here? It's really...

I can tweak the cover a bit with a nice one that I have. I cut up the manual that was in the worst shape and used that cover. It actually doesn't look that bad printed with a gloss cover. This is about an inch bigger than the original manual so you can see page lines sometimes. There is enough...

Hello Miniheads!

Unable to locate this correct temperature sending unit. Any info direction greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!]]> 6 Tue, 31 May 2016 20:25:27 +0000 https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/fuel-sending-unit.22280/ https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/fuel-sending-unit.22280/ invalid@example.com (Perkolator) Perkolator
My truck's fuel gauge decided to stop working the other day. Assume the culprit is the fuel sending unit but haven't yet had time to look into it. I know I read some stuff about severed wires to the unit and some people reporting a fracture/separation in the "coil" that it uses to determine level. If it's the wire, I can fix that. Guessing fixing the broken coil isn't as simple as...

Does anyone know of any where that sells replacements? Also, does anyone have any experience getting their tank repaired? Was it worth getting it repaired? Or is a Universal Cell the best option? My truck is a 1975 LB. any input helps.

( Yeah, I feel old... )

Anyway, it reads in pound per inch, not pounds per foot as manual specs follow.
So to use it, take the manual specs in feet, multiply by twelve ( 12 inches = 1 foot ), and use that number with this particular wrench.

Example: the torque specifications in...
