charging system

jeffbeezy73 · 10-05-2007, 02:42 AM

Has any one had any problems with the altinator not charging the battery after a JDM 2nd gen swap. Ive done usdm swaps before but not the J- spec. I have swaped out the alt. with a high amp 5sfe alt. but still no charge. The 5s alt. is only 1 year old. I guess Ill bust out the old multi meter if nobody has any advice. Any info couldnt hurt.

If you want to take it to Sears and have them run a charging system diagnostic they can probably tell you where the fault lies.

The only problem with that is Im still working on the front end, Not inspected, not completely put back together, and no plates. But that is a great idea. Any other suggestions?

I have the Toyota manual. Im going to disect the Alt. and electrical system tomarrow after I charge the battery. Honestly I was hopeing someone had this problem with the J-spec swap. As well as hoped it was some silly wire needing spliced or cut such as some others like the air bag line.

. Thanx though!!!
