My battery light on my 97 4runner reciently came on.I had the battery out for 2 days while I installed 2 new airbags and module, I put a new battery in and the alternator IS charging. I'm at a loss. It wasn't on before, just the airbag light but the bags and module took care of that.Could that be something that has to be reset? Thanks Bill

 

Help please, no ones had this problem? I don't have a owners manual ,could there be some simple solution like turning the key off & on to accessory a couple times quickly or some other goofy combination to get this reset.Any help sure would be appreciated. Thanks Bill

 

bring your question on over to 95 and up trucks/Runners - I don't know how to move it or if the moderators allow that or I would help you out

I am curious what controls that - could there be a fuse also to pull out and re-insert? You have the owners manual? Checked both fuse boxes?

 

Ron, I wasn't sure how to move a post so I just copied and pasted the question on that forum .The moderators can delete these posts if they wish.

 

If that light comes on it means your alt is going or the battery has a bad cell in it.

Get both checked by a qualified mechanic and NOT sears or autozone plz.

 

I check the alt. with a voltmeter and it seems to be putting out about 14 volts and I also pulled the + terminal with it running and it didn't die out, I also put a new battery in it and it starts fine and still no luck with the light.
