Your electrical problem. Get a volt ohm meter and start checking for power along the wires that go from your main fuse box under the hood to your fuse box underneith the driver side kick panel. Also look at this link http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/manual.aspx?S=Main&P=16
Check the 1A terminal for power at all 3 connections i think it is #3 wire that controls all power to the tail lights, side markers, brake lights...
I had to rewire this whole system 3 weeks ago so i am freash of killing electrical gremlins.
Send me a PM if you want more specific help. i have a stack of papers at my house with what i checked and replaced. IT SUCKED sorry for your troubles

There is always a way...but it will require welding and removal of the engine....not worth it as that 90deg hose lasted the past 20 years!

x2...Just get a quality 90 bend heater hose and GOOD clamps.

Can you take pix of this 90deg. hose? I'm curious which one you guys are talking about. I'm putting in about 1/3 a jug of antifreeze every 3~4 days and not seeing where the coolant is going to (I know my heater core leaks a little, but it's NOT sufficient enough to drain out that quickly!). I'm also replacing my rad with an aluminum one due to the welds leaking in the old factory one, but even that wouldn't cause it to leak out this fast. I've already replaced the upper/lower rad hoses that come directly off the rad, so I'd like to see what this 90deg. hose looks like and where it's located. If it's a big problem area, I want to replace that as well when I do the rad.

I might have a power steering line, and i know a place in Raleigh thats pretty cheap for repainting.

is it the line thats under the exhaust manifold? I've read somewhere that you cant pull that out without removing the engine. has anyone ever replaced that gasket without pulling the engine?

Post up pics if you have 'em. I'm curious where this sits.
