What are you seeing on each terminal? I assume the 11.7 was on the bulb circuit. You should be able to ground the bulb wire from the alt to have it turn on, or disconnect the battery and look for...
You can bypass it, but unless your wiring is mega-corroded, it would be best and simpler to use what you have. What do you see for a voltage switched and not on each terminal of the Alternator? (It...
Heya,
With my situation it was corrosion within the fuse box itself that was helping to cause intermittent faults.
If I recall correctly, the driver side of the fuses is the [+12V Battery...
Heya,
Maybe this will help you a bit in your sleuthing...

Is it surface rust, or is the metal rusted through? What is the location of the rust?
Some pics might help, different situations call for different measures...
This is doing it correctly......
Phosphoric acid (Naval Jelly or similar) will react with rust to form iron (ii) phosphate, greatly slowing down the progression of the oxidation. You could even wire brush and use something like...
Quite Right! Thank you for the correction, I have amended the above post.

I used ABS plastic to make a shield for mine, a laundry detergent bottle could work well too!
Wow, that is a Freaka-Delica! Wonderful, I love the 6x6!
And then I saw this:

What do you think the mpg is? Looks like...
Right on, good to know! The shuttle style hatch sounds sweet, and would certainly be better than a draw-bridge! :thmbup:
Tim: Fair enough, I was really thinking of it as a quick and dirty approach to get some cheap preliminary info before digging in (Dismantling). :thmbup:
Jerome: FWIW, If you are interested in...
FWIW: Every store I have gone to (O'Reillys & Autozone), they have let me look over their shoulder and the testers are in common areas, so there is nothing barring one from watching. (It also...
Tim; That is a pretty awesome price; let's hope it is genuine!
Jerome; The best of both worlds may be: if you you were to grab a Denso rebuild to get you going; you can take your current...
Wonderful, Thanks! Bilstein HD's are certainly the way to go, they are stiff so they work well with softer springs, and they just get better as time goes on! (They might ride a little tight for...
Here's the Pic Tim provided for my thread:

Heya, FWIW, I just had the same issue with a new alt, and it turned out that my engine fuse, while unblown, was surface corroded and not making good contact. My blinkers were doing the same thing at...
It's almost like a game of "Telephone/Grapevine", only where a bit of fact gets carried on and the overall function gets obscured. I think the o-ring thing starts from some dampers had them from the...
That's my understanding as well, basically it is a hydraulic shock absorber for the system. There are instances all over the different Yota threads on problems with them backing out, and having...
That's Hilarious about the copper pipe fab, I have heard of that on the 4Runner forums as well! Any Port in a Storm, right?
Quite the racket indeed! Of course Toyota is catching on, and now it...
Any pics?
Ha! No worries, I actually enjoy the disambiguation! AFM and MAF while only different in a letter arrangement are quite different in design!
It's always best not to confuse those who are still...
My mistake! I meant AFM where I mention a MAF (Flapper with resistor ladder, not heated wire type.) The 4Runner is the same style (AFM), but the fuel pump connector is in the passenger side wheel...
I'm pretty jazzed! Even more so to realize most of the vehicles I own have identical bits inside the alt! I ended up grabbing a diode pack from a Supra since it was in such good shape, but the "B"...
Problems Rectified!
I had 0V on the Ig line, so I pulled the 7.5 Engine fuse and got 12V off of the fuse block. I figured I had an open between Ig on the Alt. plug and the fuse block, I shot it...
Also, FWIW, in the 4Runner FSM to release the fuel pressure you unplug the fuel pump (electrical connector) with the motor running.
(If you just pull the EFI it will shut off right away, and not...
(I'm going to use this as the pinout, with S instead of G for our system.)
L= +12v switched from CHARGE light
I= +12v switched from Ignition

Yepper, I'm Lock-Step with you apparently! Just got back from the Parts Palace and it tested good. Also grabbed a PS res. hose and o-ring to swap as a preventative item. Also cut a simple shield...
Update: I've been hacking at this in my spare time, and I still can't seem to get the alt to charge. I grabbed another junkyard Alt; returned it when it didn't charge, grabbed a couple of DENSO...
Hey Gang! Thank you for the input.
Gwen, I don't have a battery light; I will pull the apart the alt. and test the regulator!
Tim, thank you for the more current link, and I grabbed another...
Hey Gang,
I know turnaround is slow on "Ye Olde Vanne Forum", but the documented troubleshooting is priceless!
My current situation (Pun Intended): Had Christmas light phenomenon; replaced...
To get that pin out of the harness, use a small jewelers screwdriver and run it along side the pin. Push wire slightly further in gently and then the screwdriver and it will push up a little plastic...
An interesting thing about these vans is that the entire EFI system is very similar to the 22re Pickups and 4Runners from the same years. Though it's not interchangeable, the troubleshooting is...
Hey Gang,
I've been bringing back to life a 4x4 5-speed van. It also had the "Christmas lights" and I fixed that yesterday with an alt swap; Yaaay!
More pertinent to this post, I have...
Hi Tim, Thanks for the direction! I seem to find the threads that don't index the specific parts. So I need to grab the 54mm nuts (x2) and the lock and thrust washers (and gaskets). It is...
Well, I found some Aisin '87 4runner IFS hubs, will these bolt up, or is a fit kit required? I figured the IFS all had the same spline count. My solid axled Landcruiser is the '85 and before hub...
Hey Gang,
So I've adopted an '87 4x4 5-speed LE and I would like to swap from the auto to the manual. I went to the yard today to find a aisin hub, and I found a pair... but both we're broken! ...
