removing fusebox, AE92

[mrdennmann]

I can't figure out how to remove it from the car. There's a lot of corrosion, and I need to replace some of the parts. does anyone have a photographic How to article for this.

It's an 1988 Corolla GTs-16, manual transmission.

Any assistance would help

The one in the engineroom?
Take out the bolt and then theres a clip you have to pop. That should remove it.

It's the one below the dashboard, next to the clutch pedal. I can't seem to find the correct bolts to remove it.

Not sure how to remove that, never took it out myself.

I am looking to see the location of a diode in the fusebox located near the clutch pedal. And was looking in the forums for more info. I already have the schematics, just looking for more info. But, it looks like no one has answered the question here. There is a cicruit board there and hope it's not on the PCB, but am afraid it is. Just more work.

The engine idle-up is not working when the lights are turned on. I have checked everything else. Now it looks like the diode is not doing it's job. Everything else seems to be working fine. It would be nice if its a module and not soldere dont he PCB. Wil soon find out. I have searched on the Internet, and have found no info on these particualr circuits.



My car 1989 Toyota Corolla SR5.

I looked again, in the fusebox area, for the diode, that connects to the idle solenoid. I know what a regual diode looks like, but am not sure what this 'Toyota Diode' looks like. I looke dall over the Internet and cannot find a description of the location where it is, and what it looks like. I have the schematic, but that does not show where in the area of the fusebox it is, or what it looks like.

I could not get the big plastic fusebox out. I think I can just remove the bolt fromt he bottom, and pull the plasitic piece out. But, I am really arafid of screwing something up, pulling some wires... as there is absolutely no room at all to do antyhing! and if I had a good description, procedure, and location of the diode, I would not have to go on this search. Toyota, like al car manufacturers purposely make it impossible to work on. They expect you to drive til it breaks and send it to the landfill! They made it impossible to fix!

Can anyone point out a location of a picture, a description of the exact location and shape of Toyota's Diode?

Like I siad I have the schematic, but all I end up doing is chasing the wires into an area where they disappear into a rats nest, behind big plastic junction boxes.

Is it behind the fusebox? I do not see a regualr PCB anywhere, so I suspect the diode must be in some module in that area, maybe with some generic marking. Or maybe it will have diode printed on some type of module?

Only other choice is to find a wrecking yard witht he same model car in pieces and hoefully access to a fusebox out in the open, already ripped out of the car..

update:

shematic show the circuits for some of these parts are in the wiring in the passenger compartment on the passenger side, so maybe the diode(s) are located there?

Idle-up (7 - D -26 )
Note: My A/C idle-up works just fine.

again, it's the idle-up for the headlights that is not coming on. It worked since the car was new It stopped working a couple of weeks ago.

Oh my!!??

Somone here in these froums took a picture of the idle-up diode in a Toyota:

I can't freaking belive it's that big!

thought its a different year and model (wherever in the MR2 he took it out of.. I can't freaking belive I can't find something that big!


(see the picture on that thread..)
