Thread: D2 Td5 wont charge

Did you change the regulator at the same time??

Cheers,

regulator. sounds like both sides gone.

dont know if you can replace them on these.

Check brake light fuse.

I've checked all of the fuses, internal and external. All look good. I still don't understand how that makes a difference, but it is a LR!

I reckon the regulator is stuffed as well.
Bugger. Now I've gotta pull it out again.
Will take it to the sparky and get him to run it up.
Thanks all.

if the reg diodes go on both sides, youll get nothing out. A surge can knock them, or just unlucky. Its a module these days, so something else may be gone in it

it used to be easy to pull them out and replace. not now, but ive never done one of these. Good luck with it.

Thanks
I should be able to get a new reg assy. As far as I know it's the same as earlyish Toyota

Hi, IMO a bad regulator would not keep the warning lamp on cos the warning lamp goes off if it gets above 7.6V and comes on once it was off only if the voltage drops under 2V, bad regulator has different symptom, did you actually measure voltage on the battery with engine running to make sure that there's no charge at all? if no charge at all measure voltage both sides of maxi fuse FL1 and double check with multimeter not just visually fuse F24 interior fusebox

Stupid question, but why the brake light fuse?
