Charge, brake, and a.t. Oil temp light
Well I went outside this morning, with 4" of snow on the ground.
Started up the 88 22re and had the brake light, battery light, and the a.t. Oil temp light were all on.
Let the truck warm up and restarted it, light didn't go away.
Any ideas?

get your alternator and battery tested. Autozone or a chain store should be able to do it for you. I would start there. Curious why the A.T. light is on with those other two though.

Well I went to start the truck today and it had no lights on...
Only difference was yesterday it was snowing, today everything was thawing.

Same problem with my 86 4X4 22RE..Problem started after heavy rains got under hood(horizontal rain!!) and shorted out the battery.(I know-I should keep battery top clean) Battery charged up after a jump, but lights remain on steady-no flicker. 14.2 volts when running and less than a year-old "locally-rebuilt" alternator(Not a cheeepo)

as stated before, YOU NEED A NEW ALTERNATOR. i fried mine wheeling. the battery and brake lights are an indicator of a bad alternator. or it may have been frozen up somehow, but i doubt it.

Yeah I just jumped my friends car yesterday and right after it my dag lights went dim, brake light came on, and the battery light wnt on too. My rear window is slow along with my sun roof too. Would my alternator go just from jumping a car? It's sounds like the alternator is gone which is fine, I will replace it, but it's kinda odd haha.

It might not be a bad Alternator. Could just be a loose connection affecting the alternator. Also a common fix is to replace the brushes in the Alternator. that's a cheap and easy fix. Get a voltmeter gauge or a multimeter and see what the alt output is.

Ok I will test it out in a bit. You may be right because when I turned a couple corners the lights would go off an verything would be normal for a sec? In gonna go mess around with it.
