Havent been on here in a while, so on that how is everyone doing? After my years of driving lowered trucks/vans I finally broke down and bought a 4x4, which im glad i did because there is no way my lowered Astro or bagged Yota are getting out of the driveway this winter. I recently picked up a 1986 Toyota Standard Cab 4x4 with 238000 miles, its in pretty good shape, I will include some pictures. My problem started yesterday and its only happened 5 times since then. Im not sure what triggers it, bump, etc... but sometimes the headlights will shut off for only a couple seconds and while there off my high beam indicator comes on and when they come back on the indicator shuts back off. Any ideas? Thanks. Heres the beast.
sounding like a wiring problem. what exactly it is i cant say..i can ask my electrical buddy that works on automotive electrical and see what he says it might be..
This happened to my 86 as well. There is a wire that runs to your positive terminal (i think it was positive?) that is probably just loose, mine was loose and they would flicker and the high beam indicator would come on, i just soldered it back on and it worked fine.
i am having the same exact problem right now with my 86, but when i wiggle the headlight switch the lights will come back on its lik eu have to find the sweet spot.
