battery light on and off - Toyota Yaris Forums

Miryai · 03-20-2014, 11:54 PM

My previous alternator was overcharging by a good bit. From what the mechanics said I was outputting like a good 19volts idling, even more with the accelerator pushed down.

Sadly, these are aftermarkets, since the dealership wants a good $2,000+ to replace the alternator, especially since the one I have is still under a lifetime warranty, but I will definitely get one of those meters, and see what happens when the battery light is on, and what not. I've not checked the straps, as I didn't think of that possibility.

Thanks for the ideas and input! I'll keep you guys posted.
