Ok, I have a good one for you guys. So we've noticed that our '92 Cruiser's battery seems to die at near random points. It originally died after we brought it home from the PO which was a long drive in the rain. (Wipers, lights, heat all on) So we thought alternator.
We've checked and tightened the battery terminals, and I recently had the alternator checked at my local Toyota dealership. (They told me it was fine.) Ran it a few days, using the heat, lights, and radio and everything seemed fine. Then today, maybe a week since the last incident, it died again. (Today it rained so we were using the wipers again.)
I've also noticed that my wiper blades seem to move slower than any other vehicle i've driven. (Not sure if that's just an FJ80 thing?) Think the motor could be causing a short or something?
Also my radio display almost always remains blank even though I can still listen to the radio.
Not sure where to go next, we have another battery to try. Wondering what everyone can drum up?
Thanks in advance guys.
