Hello all,
I’ve got a 2003 Rav4 with a 2L 4 cylinder and the Alt-S has blown three times. After replacing it thr first time, I didn’t have any issues for a few weeks, then it blew after only a few hours of driving.
I took it to the mechanic, the tech couldn’t find any shorts or frayed wires. Before the fuse blew, the battery light would sometimes flicker on for like half a second before disappearing.
Anyone have any suggestions? I’d appreciate any.
Did the tech check alternator output? Because this sounds a whole lot like the alternator is on its last legs.
