83 FJ60 Charge Light dash lights on after alternator swap (1 Viewer)

[John Staton]

The brake light is independent of the charge lite. Low brake fluid or e-brake turns it on. Fluid level switch is in master cyl cap.. E-brake switch is under the boot. Brake light problem is often a round rubber pad that pushes in ypur light switch located on the brake pedal arm up under the dash.

so I probably isolated the emergency brake light...I do remember when I first got the truck that I had this problem and someone told me to check my brake fluid...topped it off and it fixed it. Upon checking my fluid I found the two wires on my cap are cut?? no idea when and how this happened and cannot figure out where they lead....can someone help? maybe post a pic. If they lead to one of the blank plugs I will likely need to source a new one.

For my charge light. I am going to unplug the charge relay until I get my fusible link replaced. I was bypassed by a mechanic a long time ago and the after market alternator didn't seem to set the charge light off but when I went back to the Denso OEM it does. Mechanic checked everything and let me know everything seems fine and I am likely dealing with a bad ground so that may fix it.
