Thanks all! Gonna start with the grounds I think. Here in sweden they had to add extra orange turn signals below the tail lights. So there is some extra wiring that is probably spliced toghether with ductape, if I know the PO right..... Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Hi By flasher module you mean the relay? Or is there another thingy involved? The relay is probobly a couple of years old. If I remember right I changed the original round one for a modern square generic flasher relay. Mechanically the stick seems to work fine. But since its 30+ years my suspicion is bad connection of some sort in the switch. Been looking a bit closer at it, don't think I can do much without ripping the column apart..... Done that a couple of times, its a real pain... /mathias Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Hi I'm having some random turnsignal problems. Sometimes it won't turn on when blinking right. Left works fine, and its sticks when pushing down and goes back with the steering wheel. It just won't blink. Anyone had any luck with cleaning the switch WITHOUT dissasembling the column? Its such a pita.... /mathias Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Starter relay, fusable links, ignition connector? Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Thx guys Think I will put the junkyards on and try them out. /Mathias Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Hmm, wonder what kind of springs the junkyard sent me.... Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Hi I found a pair of zj coils in the junkyard. They measure 15,15 inches. Does anybody have the height of the stock springs on a -87 metric mj? /Mathias Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

I have also had the the same symptoms. It turned out to be a bad ignition switch, have u checked that? Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Glad u found the problem. Tracing gremlins around the starter relay is pita. /mathias Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

I would suggest checking the links at the starter relay. On my truck there is also a 40 amp fuse on the ignition switch to starter relay wire. don't know if that is default or if PO put it there. But if that blows I get a no crank. Might be a bad igition switch. /mathias Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Well, In lack of other ideas I thought I would take a look at the ignition switch. And of course that was the problem, probobly from the beginning. The brown wire was all burned and corroded. Bought a new one for 20 bucks and voila, she lives again. And I even got the acc mode working aswell. Should have looked there in the first place I think..... Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

And according to this pic The ETR is radio and clock. Eng comp lights have never worked, I have no fog lights, and I can live without the clock and radio. Now, beeing a noob at this, is it safe to just unhook these three wires and try to see if the problem goes away? /Mathias Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

So I think I have identified the three wires as being, fog light relay, hood light and ETR fuse. According to this pic Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Ok, after having changed the starter and put in a new battery the problem seemed to have gone away....so I thought. Until today, once again the fuse blew. This time I put in a new one and it blew right away. Short to ground was my thought and very much so, the positive nut on the starter relay was shorted to ground. Took off all of the wires and tested them one and one. Narrowed it down to one of the green fusable links. Now I'm not very good att reading the electric charts, and my cable finder don't want to send a signal anymore!? If anyone know where the the green fusable link with three red wires coming in to it goes, its the only link that has three red ones going in to it. This is the culprit, one of these red ones is shortet to ground, it seems intermittant since if I check contituity from the fusable link to ground, it don't send a tone all the time but gives 130 on the multimeter. Got a really blurry picture of it but like I said, its the only one with three red ones connected to it. If anyone know where these three go, it woud be much appriciated. / Mathias Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

A thought tho. The fuse is on what I suspect the signal cable from the starter relay to the solenoid. You mean it draws from there? because there is no fuse on the cable from the battery to the solenoid. /mathias Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk
