    The charging system light was on this morning on my 2005 Tacoma. I drive about 5 miles before the highway. Once on the highway, the light went off, then a minute later on, then quickly off again.

    I took the truck out for lunch and the end of the day without the light come on.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks!

    Holy thread revival, Shadetree! Why so many OLD/dead battery-related thread bumps all at once?!? :confused:

    Change in temperature always kills batteries that were on their last legs. One of our work trucks crapped out on Monday. It's been warming up here this week.

    I was just trying to catch up with unique responses for those who continued to look for answers to recurring questions and common battery problems.
