Why is the battery light on on my Toyota Tundra?
2001 Sequoia alternator went out / battery light on / lights dimming / tested bad. Got a new one at Auto Zone – gave me 14.xx volts at the battery posts. Headed out of town on a Boy Scout campout and it died (thanks to frequent jump/drive/jump/drive/repeat, we got there and back).

How many volts does a Toyota Tundra have?
Last night, I drove it at highway speed, and the voltage needle began to bounce up and down. Stopped at an auto parts store and tested it again with me revving up the truck to 2,000 RPM. ALT output was almost 17 volts. Time for new ALT/regulator, I would think?
What does load test on Toyota Tundra mean?
A load test is just what it sounds like, tells the alt to work hard. If the alt kicks it up but you dont see that increase at the battery, look back into the cables. You need to check the Alt output at the “B+” post on the back of the alt, not just at the battery posts. See exactly what the alt is putting out. Work your way out from there.
If your Tundra’s battery light came on while you were driving, but before you parked, it could be the alternator. If you didn’t see a battery light, and now the vehicle is dead when you go to start it, the first thing that you need to look at is the battery.

Where is the Alt on a Toyota Tundra?
If your alt is putting out 17 volts.. your battery is going to expose its guts soon. If you find a good battery and a good alt, its more than likely in the body harness (fuse box, distribution, buss, gauge, etc) which is a whole new ballgame.
Why are the running lights not working on my Toyota?
No power to the 7 pin for the running lights. Worked fine for years then bam, no power. All other lights, fuses and relays are good. I ended up adding a ground to the relay. The running lights work now but are always on when I hook up the trailer.
