Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Trucks / April 2004Idoiot light problem on 86 truck
I have an 86 toyota 22re fuel injected truck. The Charge light and the brake light have decided to stay on for no reason. If I rev up the RPMs real high the lights goe out. What do I replace or check to fix this problem? P.S. I think that this problem is with many of these 86 trucks because I also have a 86 with a 22R truck that has a similar problem. Any suggestions? > I have an 86 toyota 22re fuel injected truck. The Charge light and > the brake light have decided to stay on for no reason.

Not sure about a pickup, but I would imagine it's close to the same spot. Mine fried once and the thing wouldn't charge (and the light stayed on). Replaced it with a junkyard unit ($90 from the dealer) and it's been fine since. check to out put of your alternator > I have an 86 toyota 22re fuel injected truck.

You can get the new brush assembly from Toyota and its an easy install. Should fix it right up. Other possibilities are a faulty voltage regulator or charge relay/fuse: http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB11&Number=472874&Forum= f11&Words=%2BBrake%20%2BCharge%20%2BLight&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Main=470664&Sear ch=true&where=bodysub&Name=&daterange=1&newerval=1&newertype=y&olderval=&olderty pe=&bodyprev=#Post472874  SignatureRoger > I have an 86 toyota 22re fuel injected truck.

If you have an automatic, it is 100% likely to be a failing alternator. If you have a manual, it is most likely to be a failing alternator. > What do I replace or check to fix this problem? Well, the 'failure' in this case, could, possibly be a loose, worn, slipping alternator belt, but is most likely the brushes in the alternator. good luck!

Drove the truck 40 miles today with no lights lit. Thanks Robert, I had a similar problem with the brake light on my '86 sticking on. After some investigation, it was only the wiring for my emergency brake. I had an inclination of that because it would turn off and on when I hit bumps and such. I don't know a lot about what trips these lights, but you may want to check your brake fluid also. :-) Lisa, Colorado |
