so this is my first post on the forum. ive got a 1980 fj40 2F that was running great up until a couple weeks ago. went out for a drive came back and shut it down for about 2 hours. Tried to start it up again and heard an electric shorting/sparking noise from under the hood. at that point all power to everything stopped, no lights, radi..etc ive looked and looked but cannot find anything with any marks or burns. the battery/cables are good and all the fuses are still good. im thinking at this point it could either be the igniter assembly that sits on top of the coil or maybe the starter has shorted out. any suggestions?
