no power to ignition
Hey guys , New to the forums and am having a problem with my 88 toyota . It's the 22re efi. Well anyways went go start my truck and the battery was low so i went to boost it with my battery charger. I put it on engine start and got in . Started it up and revved it up some then it died out . When it died it seemed to kill everything , Turned the key off and back on and still nothing , Radio don't light up or anything. Headlights and hazard lights work but thats it . I'm guessing its not getting power to the ignition. So i check and the wire from the battery to the fusiable link and it was broke ( has been fixed before ). Put it back on and nothing steal . Now the weird thing is before i got the truck someone must have blown the fuse on it and they rigged it up by twisting the broken parts together , worked fine til now. Think thats my problem ?

I have an issue with my 22re where it will occassional not get iginition. If I hold the key to ignition for a few seconds, it will often take off. I can hear a relay activating with ignition but no start to the starter. I put a wire on the starter solinoid and ran it up to the battery. With the clutch overide button pressed and the ignition key turned to on, ( do I have to say to put the transmission in neutral??) I can touch the wire to the battery positive, and start the engine every time. This problem is so intermittant, I'm tempted to put a momentary contact switch in the cab. This method bypasses all the switches and wiring to the solinoid. Someday, I'll figure it out. After a couple of no starts, and getting jumped, I found this works every time. The wiring diagram for the the ignition start isn't that complicated. Finding all the connectors and wires.........

Thanks for the reply and suggestion on the starter relay. I'm finding that a lot of folks have the same intermittant problem as I have. And, I have replaced the starter relay. Mind is an 86 4Runner with 22RE. Best suggestion I've found is to replace the wire from the ignition switch to the starter relay. I'm going to replace all the wiring in that circuit. How hard could it be?

Before you get into that check the ignition switch itself. Reign the switch to on and check for voltage at the relay and also on the other end of that same wire at the switch itself. That will help narrow it down before you go guessing and throwing money at it. Check the starter solenoid too just to make sure.

Hey guys, Thanks for the response. Put a new fuse in the link and ever single time i hook the battery ground back up it blows the fuse . I'm guessing a short but have no clue where to start as all i did was hook the battery charger up and give the truck a rev :s

Here is a link to RADs site on cleaning the starter relay. Its most likely has alot of carbon/corrosion and made a huge difference on mine. Post #27 https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f199...l#post51975700
Only thing I could suggest on the fuse blowing when hooking up the ground wire would be check the wires to starter and alternator. I would think it has to be under the hood but electric is not my strong area.

Tnx, Terry.
Happy New Year Guys,
No matter what you do on your 86-88 runner, The stock cranking system wiring is flawed so best to fix that.
Also time to look at the schematic and get a multi-meter to troubleshot no power or short circuit issues. The multi-meter, next to our senses (common sense, sight/smell/touch/hearing) is the best diagnostic tool for classic trucks.
