I'm new to Toyotas, and imports in general, so these may be some real noob questions. the car in question is an 87 SR5, so it has a 4AC engine. I simply ask, what are these, whats their function, and where are they supposed to be :roll:

first up, these connections in the enigne bay, same location as the battery. I'm guessing they should be connected to comething

Next, I know these are fuses, but I'm guessing they are aftermakret, or is this legit?

I found this mess of stuff in the trunk, What is the hunk of metal, and also, what are the two toher peices with the cylinders/wires?

I'll add more to this thread when i find stuff i just don't know what it is, if thats ok :action10:

all I can answer are about the fuses in pic 2.... those are factory 4AC and hang off the battery.... my 87 4dr had em too... you need them or the car wont run. when they go out, the car powers down, no lights, no power, nothing. Mine caught fire, but after replacing them, the car started right up and was good as new.

The piece you're pointing to is a solenoid for a Honda. Throw it away...

the piece at the top of the pic with the lever is for the rear seats locks them from the trunk area.
