I have a 1985 Toyota 4 Runner. I lost power to the coil on my last trip out. I ran a wire to the coil from the battery directly and the truck started right up. I can't figure out why I am not getting power to the coil from the ignition. All fuses are good at the panel unless I am missing an inline fuse somewhere. All suggestions are appreciated. I am hitting the Dusy in about 4 weeks and would rather not have my jumper cable being used. Thanks.

Check for a fusible link off the battery. They are a softer wire designed to burn out if overloaded. I swapped mine out for fuses. Easier to see if they pop.

check for continuity between harnesses and connectors until you find the culprit
