In it this is what I found. 2 pieces of cooper bent over on top of each other. They are hot with the key off. What is supposed to be there and what do you suggest I do to correct it. I am pretty sure this is not a good thing.

It looks just like the red and green boxes to the left of it, but black. 85 Toyota SR5 Xtra Cab P/U Re: Electrical no-no 1986 Pickup [Re: Toy Story] #949066 06/12/09 02:25 AM Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 50 O opusthe2nd OP Getting the Wheeling Fever Ok, it doesnt look like I will be able to fix that so it will work. Is there another type breaker I can maybe put inline, etc?

That 80 amp breaker is the B+ feed for the alternator. $5 bux sez someone tried removing it in the past and didn't have a clue; busted it. You unbolt the fusebox from the fender, flip 'er over; it's bolted in. I take it either your fuse cover or the label on it is missing? I'd say it blew at some point and the PO bent them over to make continuity for a temp fix. Did something similar for a couple teens awhile back to help them get to a parts store for a replacement.

Are you saying it is salvageable? All I need to get is the original breaker and it will be good? I am assuming then that the copper parts are part of the old breaker.

Remove those contacts and install a new circuit breaker. 85 Toyota SR5 Xtra Cab P/U Re: Electrical no-no 1986 Pickup [Re: Toy Story] #949070 06/12/09 03:36 AM Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 50 O opusthe2nd OP Getting the Wheeling Fever Excellent, thank you.

Yep, think of it as an oversized element wire in a fuse. 80 amps is quite a load by comparison. http://www.walkablecommunities.org/ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.
