Hi er, I mean HELP!
86 toyota pickup 22R
Charge and Brake light suddenly came on last week.
Wasn't worried too much because the (other) 86 I had a few years ago did the same thing with a loose connector to the alternater. But I was driving in the rain and the wipers seemed slow so I took it home. The next day it was hard starting.
So here's what did, see? I took the alternater out of the '93, swapped the plug end and sure enough, the lights were still on!! (ggrrrrrr)
The voltage at the battery while it's running does show 14.34 volts so it IS charging, I cleaned up the battery terminals all nice, nice and checked the white wire all the back to "you know where". A test light also indicated that I had continuity through the alternater.
HHmmmm, I wonder what's going on.
