Hello Toyota1991, those lights usually light up at the same time when your battery is being discharged. :mad: if your battery dies you should have the altenator checked to see if it is putting out the correct voltage. only thing I can think of at the moment. if the altenator is ok it's possible your battery needs to be replaced. :2cents: respond back and let me/us know how you make out correcting the problem.

Good Luck, JOET/CAMRY

yeah, also just to know...the voltage regulators and diodes go bad in our alternators...if it tests out OK....good charging voltage/amperage and good charge/load test on battery...you can bet it's the voltage reg or diodes...my battery lights been on for about 1 year and 1/2...and it runs fine with no probs...

just a thought

Nice to hear you found the problem with your car and got it fixed. :smile: I figured it was a faulty altenator but wasn't 100% positive.
