Hello I have a 94 celica gt while idling at night with the lights on heater on and rear defroster the lights will dim and the battery warning light will come on.
I believe the alternator is dieing. It only happens at idle and it comes and goes. I'd like to get it fixed before it leaves me stranded somewhere. I am wondering? -Is there a voltage regulator somewhere outside of the alternator or is it internal? I don't want to replace the alternator when it could be something else that regulates voltage. -Also where is the best place to get an alternator for this beast? Usually these foriegn alternators go for over $100 bones yikes.... Thanks guys... |

watch out how many amps those high outputs make at idle speed.
