My charging system isn't charging the battery. All voltage indicators (Scangauge II, cig socket reader) are reading 12V which tells me the battery isn't gitting the voltage. Cables and connectors are good and clean. Battery is topped up. I figured my charging light would indicate that there's a problem...but no it's failing at it's job. The bulb is good as I can see the indicator before I start the engine.

Just pulled the alternator off and checked the brushes. All worn down. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Gonna see if the local Toyota dealerships have the parts. Lucky me that there's an alternator place near me...A-Alternator & Starter Rebuilders, 900 Grand Ave, Bacliff, TX 77518, 281-339-9099!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
