So about a mile away from the house this morning I noticed my windows wouldn't go down, my instrumentppanel wasn't working and also the sunroof was out of commission. The car made the hour drive to work and now it won't start. The wierd part is all of my lights worked just ffine until I pulled into the parking lot at work when they all shut off. I haven't done anything new or changed anythingrrecentlysso I'm kind of at a lossoon this one. Any help you have would be great

with the engine running, you should get 14.4 to 14.6 volts across the + and - terminals on the battery. if you are not then you have a wiring problem.
turn the key to the on position, check the voltage on pin 2 of the 3 pin connector on the alternator. you should have 12 volts. if you dont, thats your problem. its the voltage needed to excite the stator in the alternator. look for a 10 amp fuse called gauge. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
