Its starting to get cold over here on PEI. I have noticed that when I start the truck at -10c all the warning lights on the dash stay on and the alternator does not charge (i have a digital volt gauge to measure battery voltage). I will let it idle for a bit (maybe 4 minutes) then have to shut the truck off and turn it back on again and everything is fine, battery voltage goes up to 14.6 and all is good.
Any thoughts on what could be causing this? It only seems to happen when it is cold outside but has happened the last two mornings in a row.
The truck does have a 1hd-t swapped in and the body has 650,000 km on it.
I am thinking maybe electrical switch on the ignition? Thoughts?
