Charging problem?

simpletoy · 01-06-2011, 09:36 PM

Got a toyota with 22r in it with a charging problem. The alternator tested good and battery tested good. Not sure where the problem is. All the connections are good and the ground is good? No idea where the problem is. The charge light does not come on and the just not a clue whats goin on with it. Any ideas?

check all your fuses first. under hood and in the truck. then check all the links at the box near the battery. mike

Where is the voltage regulator in this system?
On some it's in the computer itself & can go bad, causing charging issues.

sounds like a fuse or a bad ground. also check the wire harness from alt to underhood distribution block.

I had a 81 Toy with the same problem. Everything tested good, even the fuses. Found out by chance that the fuse was sitting exactly between the contacts without touching them. I bent the tabs over a little, and problem solved.
