charging system

Battery light came on and you can see the volt guage dropping on the dash with the car running. Voltmeter reads 10V at the battery with engine running. 11-12 volts with engine off. Turning headlights on will stall the motor. I have to use a jump pack to move the car from lot to lot. Does not...

This has been documented on a few other threads but I figured I would add a definitive OEM solution for this problem. Background: A few weeks ago my mother's 1998 LX470 started up with an illuminated battery light. I the volt-meter in the cluster read 18V+ so I used the spare tire kit (there's...

The last thing I want is an electrical fire so coming to the IH8MUD brain trust for thoughts. There has been a few times after driving the battery seemed too low to efficiently engage (original) starter. I’ve kept a battery tender on the battery so it’s fully charged when needed. I recently...

I purchased an 1991 LJ78 Prado turbo diesel about two months ago. It was originally import from Australia. Long story short, the battery is going dead after about a days worth of driving and 5-7 starts. I have replaced one of the two batteries. But both charge just fine when I put them on a...

He tested charging and load test batteries and said everything was now fine. 2 days later I go out to car, turn the key and nothing. No dash lights at all and...

Well, this will be an anticlimactic welcome post. Picked up my first 100 series 6 days ago, a 1999 Land Cruiser. Today, it lost power. Wifey was driving it in a residential area and it flickered and died. No charge, starter just clicked. Ate up most of the afternoon. Now it's at the dealership...

_________________________ Info possibly useful to others regarding a previous thread (Alternator Removal): I have a 1999 Land Cruiser. Just removed the alternator with some of the tips in a thread out the bottom of the vehicle ... it was a pain ... I can't believe that either of the 2 original...

So I have been fighting a light for a month or so. It came on after a trip to the beach and I replaced the alternator and upgraded to an AGM battery. The light went away but came back the next day. Volts on he idiot gauge looked right and it hasn't died yet. I hooked up an OBD scanner it...
