Dumb mistake
Dumb mistake
So last night I removed my alternator trying to chase down a charge light brake light issue. I guess I wasn';t paying attention because now that I put it back its sparking as if I hooked it up to ground. Can someone post a picture showing me where everything in the back hooks up? 84 external voltage regulator

Re: Dumb mistake
I've been looking at the fsm pdf file I found here and I can't seem to see the problem here. Also I'm not very computer literate so Idk how to put a picture here to show what I have going on. If anyone can post a picture I'd appreciate it

Re: Dumb mistake
If your brake light is on and your charge light is on but not bright it means the brake fluid is low in your master cylinder reservoir, all the Toyotas I have ever owned have done that.
