electrical problem.. alt maybe?
My truck(87 4runner 22re 4x4) wont hold a charge I tried to replace the foglights but the PO did a bad job wiring it. and somehow I shorted something..
I know the turn signals and the tac. dont work right now. It also is not charging.
It will run when I jump start it but it wont run for very long, and if i turn the lights on it lugs really bad..
Im going to get a new alt. right now.
Any ideas on what I should do, or how I should go about fixing whats wrong?

Yeah I checked all the fuses.
I doubt its the battery. Its only about 1year old..
its not the alt either... Checked it at autozone.

have you checked the battery voltage ? did the truck come with a idiot light or a volt meter ? if it has a idiot light see if is come on,the idiot light is the exciter curcuit for the alt.
