I like to use local shops whenever possible. In this case it didn't work out. My local starter & alternator rebuilder could not diagnose the alternator i let him check twice. Turned out the alternator was not putting out the correct voltage. I took to pep boys & auto zone it failed both times - replaced with a new alternator and all is good - Thanks for you help in this matter Greatly appreciated!

I agree - im going back to square one with this. Thanks Randall - will post back

I double checked the fusible link - All seems fine - What else can i check?

The problem started one night when the lights kept getting dim & the battery light came on. When I gave it some gas the light went off & the lights got brighter. I attributed that to the alternator. This only happened that one time that I'm aware - this is my 19 year olds car (first ride). So that's when I removed the alternator to have it checked out. I read all about the power steering pump leaking fluid onto the alternator. When I put in back in I could never get any signs that it was charging the battery. Brought it back to the rebuilder again and he says it putting out 14.6v. I never had to jump start the car to get it going& the fusible link checked out ok. The car does have an amplified sub woofer in the back- I don't think that has anything to do with it. Does anybody have any electrical schematics for this year lexus. I will double check the 120 amp fusible link and post back.

1994 ls400 alternator not charging - removed the alternator & took it to a local shop that rebuilds starters & alternators - guy says it's putting out 14.6 volts -installed back into car not putting out voltage - checked the voltages with multimeter still no good - replaced the plug going to the alternator b/c it was brittle & falling apart- still not getting a charge - battery in good shape - checked all fuses & everything is good. Still can't figure out why I'm not getting a charge from the alternator - any help would be greatly appreciated.
