Landcruiser Alternator problems?

I'll second that.

I would have thought just the red Alternator light comes on if the charging system is faulty...........but I have all the dash lights on.
Battery is about 6 month old and the auxiliary battery maybe 2 years.
Thanks for your thoughts

About a month ago i was out with some mates and we were mucking around in the mud and a few deep crossings. Mates 78 series troopie dash lights kept coming on and then going off, then they all just stayed on. No worries, we cleaned every plug and connection with contact cleaner and checked all the other things associated. (At this point it was getting slow to start but still starting rather easy). All the lights still stayed on, so went down and seen a mechanic mate and he said straight away your alternators stuffed. Muddy water he said. So went home and checked it and yep, no charge at all. Then the battery died and needed jump starting.

Check your alternator first. Another Troopie on the trip also stuffed its alternator, and myself and a SR5 Hilux both blew our rear main seals. Expensive couple of hours thats for sure. Fun though and heaps of good fotage. But never do that again.

When you turn your ignition on and the dash lights light up to test the bulbs, this is often done by a connection to the alternator light circuit. Hence a totally failed alternator will often turn on other dash lights.
