Thread: TOYOTA TROUBLE please help us

Ok guys this is what i did this morning we started it (jumped) & while the leads from my car where still on i took a reading before starting it 12.something Then when i took them off it went down to 9 something & doesn't change when you rev it..so o put the multimeter on the alternator while it was going & it was the same..
is this the voltage thingy ????





And while it was still on the car with out the cover if i play with it ,it makes the dash light go out.
& when i push the red coil thingy the light goes out BUT the chage stayed the same just the light went out..
Should i get another one & hope for the best.
PS fatty said whoever said they where cheap she wants to give you a slap up the head $66 for.should i go get one .mob down the road has one in..

Sounds like alternator issues, not reg, Jason.

great even beter ..i'll let you tell fatty .ok ian

Fatty said just hand the freakin plates back in.cause she has had enuff ..at least my car is finished & going it could of been worse if it wasn't finished..

Toyo alternators are plentiful and cheap, my diagnoses was only a guess, but I think alts should pump out about 14.5V to be tamed by the reg. JC or Dave will hopefully be along soon.

Yeah just rang a couple of wreckers can only get reco exchange with 6 months warranty $150...She said noway hand the plates in...

Ask for a 2nd hand one not reco or ring some other wreckers, in sydney 2nd hand is about 30/45 with 3 month some ties you have to take them off the car yourself so give swmbo a shifter and socket set

Recoed by Mr Sheen no doubt, get the model number from yours and ask for that; the alts are common to some of the sedan range too. Try cleaning the PS fluid from yours, that may be effecting the performance of it.
