    Wiper relay or not?

    Ground jump had no effect, also tried both relays in my other car and both are good. Tried a different combo switch and no change. gave up for today and worked on other stuff. Couple hours later, replaced the radio, powered on to test and the wipers work perfectly. Chalking it up to a pulled...

    Wiper relay or not?

    Honestly, not yet. I am hoping to find a different smoking gun by eliminating the easiest stuff before pulling the switch connector out again. if the ground jump doesnt work, though, all that i can see that is left is a possible isolated fault in that jumble.

    Wiper relay or not?

    Visual check on the fuse, didnt test. I misspoke earlier. I actually tested for 12v (in low speed mode) on pin 4 of the harness connector that attaches directly to the wiper motor per this post: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?181612-Wiper-Issue I got 12v from that harness...

    Wiper relay or not?

    I was listening as intently as possible while activating the switch and could hear the light click. Very faint. When I unmounted the relay and pulled it out of the panel to swap in another one (no change) I could hear it a little better. I held onto the relay and worked the wiper switch to...

    Wiper relay or not?

    1) No wiper action in any position from the switch. 2) when activating the switch, i can hear and feel a click in the relay box in the passenger kick panel (so switch seems okay) 3) verified that wipers work in both hi and low when applying 12v directly to the pins on the wiper motor (so wiper...

    1UZ Swap: Basic Obstacles and Overview

    Thanks for the input. It just gets a tad hazy when you look at both the adapter kits and those kits based on a custom bell housing.

    1UZ Swap: Basic Obstacles and Overview

    I plan to pair up a 1UZ with a W58 and have what may be a silly question. Maybe I'm just over thinking... Is there any definitive benefit to using a fabbed bell housing vs. an adapter plate? Do you require any less mods to your drive train components if you just use a bell housing? Obviously the...

    Rust in fuel tank. ideas on treating tank in prep for e85

    Yes, it was in Clarkston, outside of Atlanta. I was referred to them by a mechanic buddy at the time. They were expressly in the business of dipping rads.

    Rust in fuel tank. ideas on treating tank in prep for e85

    I had a gas tank dipped a few years back. Found a shop locally that dipped radiators for big rigs. Cost 45 bucks and they even painted it when they were done.

    What date did the 89 become the 89.5?

    Makes sense, so then even the September thru December 92 units were still 92MY cars? Not '93? Sent from my HTCEVODesign4G using Tapatalk 2

    What date did the 89 become the 89.5?

    Being that the fist year MKIV was billed as 1993.5, I always assumed there was an actual 93 A70 (JZA70) that just never made it to the US. Not the case? Or were the frames stamped JZA70 as well?

    Distance advice

    Yeah, it's a touring car, after all. That extra weight we all-too-often lament is a blessing on the highway. :)
