It starts when the fuse for the dash gadges blows, then the alternator no longer charges, then battery dies, and the car stops. I can't find any obvious signs of wires shorting, and the alt and battery are new(replaced by a "let's start throwing parts at the problem mechanic"). It throws no codes. Any ideas what's wrong? Thanks. Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Dec 31, 2007, 10:57 AM Post #2 of 4 (1787 views) Re: 4runner problem Sign In What else doesn't work when fuse blows other than the dash gauges? Obvoiusly something is shorted and was trying to think of the most likely thing. Is the fuse that blows between the bat and alt by any chance? T komet New User Dec 31, 2007, 11:46 AM Post #3 of 4 (1786 views) Re: 4runner problem Sign In The only fuse I can find blown is the instrument fuse, which also runs the turn indicator lights. Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Dec 31, 2007, 4:20 PM Post #4 of 4 (1783 views) Re: 4runner problem Sign In I really don't know why this fuse is related to the alternator. By turn indicator lights do you mean that all directionals don't work? This whole thing might be a short in trailer lighting/wiring especially if not using a factory harness plug. These may have wiring waiting back there even if you don't have a trailer hitch. Just a wild shot at something.
