Hi guys,
Well, my problem is that "sometimes" not all the time, but usually most of the time, my batter light turns on whenever the car is running. It takes a few minutes or so for it to come on whenever it does turn on. So, my question is: What are the things that could cause this to happen? Also, what could I check myself? Being that I am not to familiar with the electrical components. Thank a bunch, -Toni -------------------- |

This just recently happened in my 4Runner (my batter light coming on). Turned out to be the belt. Replaced it and haven't had a problem

That's nuts, I'll try adjusting my belt. You know exactly why the belt caused it? Was it to tight or to loose or something?

I'm not to sure why, but it did stop the "massive" drain that I was having earlier when the car was just sitting off. -------------------- |
