Engine whine when lights are turned on
Hello fellow Yota fans!
I have a 98 4runner SR5, and have been getting a whine under the hood when I turn on my lights. I thought it was potentially the a timing belt pulley going out, and it was 10k over on replacement, but after doing the t-belt, it still makes the whine(got the kit that had the water pump, t-stat, and all the pulleys). ???? Any thoughts or ideas on what to check would be greatly appreciated. |
Sounds like it could be related to your alternator. When's the last time the belt was changed?
|
Belts were done recently, a few months ago. I took it by my buddies shop, who did the t-belt, he thinks it might be the alternator too. We put a stethoscope on the back by the bearing..... Sounded suspect. It is the OG alt, with 135k.

alternator for sure

Check your battery negative to chassis/body connection. My clamp came loose and if I turned on the lights or heater blower there was a whine.

Is it like a shrill squeeling? if that's the case it's the alternator belt. Maybe it's a little out of spec. If it's not that high pitch then it could be the bearing.
