Stuck in od with no turn signals or wipers??
So..
!984, 2wd. I was driving home from work when my turn signals started making a slight sizzle as they ticked and failed entirely shortly after.
I parked and had a little run through the electric's and found that the blower, rear blower and the windshield wipers had also failed. When I drove it again I realized that the tachometer, fuel and heat indicators were dead and that the van was also stuck in overdrive.
None of the obvious fuses are blown and the fusible links from the link thread all look good. My battery terminals are clean and tight.

Should I try hot wiring in my dead accessories?
I have replaced the am1 fuse and checked that the others were in working order behind the passenger seat. I checked both in the battery bay and both work.
Had to concluded that the one on the outside of the battery bay behind the wheel does not exist on my van, the Toyota time machine, a 1984.
I have inspected the main fuse panel front and back and see no blown fuses or anomalies.
I am still without wipers, turn signals, a heater or blower, tachometer, oil and engine temp indicators.
Right stumped and looking for ideas?

I would inspect the wiring harness that connects the wiper and turn signals that runs under the steering column there is a large connection that has been known to burn up from resistance due to a poor connection. Since the wipers and turn signals don't work and the fuses are not blown this could be the first place to look by removing the steering column covers.

Found the culprit!
Shheesh... on the back of the fuse box.. The black and yellow wire in particular. cleaned it all up and pinched the connectors back together
Learned a lot from this Forum about the van over the last couple of days and imagine I will be back in the hopefully not to near future.
Thank you Toyota Van Tech
Also if you are interested in seeing pics of the van you can find them on Instagram under the name, Toyotatimemachine.

Got the TV started and brought it directly to a shop.
Although the shop could not find an OEM or AM harness, they found an alternative harness, spliced wires and got the wiring back in proper order. They charged me for one hour of labor.
End of the day, a good deal with positive results.
