Is the battery light still on in a Toyota?
However, the dang battery light is still dimly lit. When turning the ignition switch to the on position before starting the engine, all the warning lights come on including the battery light. When the engine is started, the battery light goes out but then comes back at half the brightness. As I may have said before, it’s only noticeable at night.

Old battery died, jumper didn’t work. Lights radio, etc work just no start. Replaced battery, same issue. Any idea before I call dealer? And the Fob doesn’t work either now.

What to do if your Toyota won’t start?
Battery – If the connections on your battery become corroded, there is no longer a connection to the rest of the car. This can keep you from starting. Clean the posts and try to start the car.

Why does my alternator not turn on the battery light?
That battery is likely at or near the end of it’s useful life. A weak battery or working charging circuit won’t turn on the battery light. Since you pretty much ruled out the alternator I would make sure to check your fuses. IIRC there are 2 fuses for the alternator (will check my diagram later).
How can I tell if my alternator has a blown fuse?
The easiest way to look at the alternator is to check voltage at the battery. See what DC volts is and check for A/C voltage at the battery (meaning alternator isn’t converting voltage properly). Also check the amperage as well. My guess is you have a blown fuse.
Are there 2 fuses for the IIRC alternator?
IIRC there are 2 fuses for the alternator (will check my diagram later). If your fuse check comes back fine, you likely have either a cluster problem or wiring problem. The easiest way to look at the alternator is to check voltage at the battery.
Which is the best universal alternator for a car?

Do you need a battery for an alternator?
Honestly, you need a battery, but perhaps just a charge will get you by. A weak battery will cost you an alternator (oh yeah, you just bought one) it can cost you a starter and it can cost you a computer.. Charge the battery (FULL charge) and then have them check it.
