Check Battery, no pow. windows, no gauge movement - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #16310 8 posts Started by Akimbo
So I started my car tonight after the watching Cellular, and my lights were dimmed, my power windows and moonroof didn't work, and my gauge needles didn't move. On top of that my car was acting funny, like, it shifted at different times than normal, and the lights didn't automatically turn off when I opened the door. What gives? Is it my alternator? Also, the Check Battery light was on.

looks like your alternator isnt charging your battery...check both of those...alternators are common probs with toyotas

or the wire that goes tot the battery broke in-two? like mine did awhile back.

If you want a good one go to the dealership, Autozone ones have a guarantee on them but Toyota can get you a new one...personally I would take the dealership route and have someone wind the coils tighter so that you get a higher output (recommended if you are running any kind of sub equipment).
