Hi guys,
Today I replaced my coolant temp sensor becuase it was acting up. Later I ran to the store, My brake light on the dash didnt light up when I turned on the ignition. The seatbelt light wouldn't turn off. My gas,oil pressure,& coolant temp all moved to their right places then suddenly dropped to zero. While I was trying to find the problem my girl noticed that my passenger headlight & fog light arnt working either. Any Ideas ??

Shooter, sounds like a ground problem. Year/make of your FSJ would help diagnosis.

Sorry,
its a 84' Grand Wagoneer, 360, TF727,np229, 44f, amc20r.

I messed with the wiring under the dash, & behind the gauges but couldnt get the dam seatbelt light to turn off I replaced the ignition fuse 15amp (still good) with a 20amp & my gauges started working I think its a short in the gauges I'm going to replace them. I'm also going to replace the fuse box & put it on the engine side firewall in a mil spec ammo box, & rewire the engine compartment. I bought the truck with a D.U.I. distributer already installed so I have a mess of loose wires all over the place. Enyone know what I can and cant remove, where to order a fuse box with the turn signal relays?
Thanks for the help...

Oh yeah The coolant temp sensor I got from O'rielys is marking in the middle of the green on the gauge the old one always went to the first line at the edge of the green. Does anyone have a part number & store for the right one?
