    Hey so i jumped my 2011 Tacoma the other day because i left the lights on and now i am in some sort of limp in mode. ABS/ Brake lights and trac on/off and LSD lights are all on in dash as well as no speedo and running low on power. Also if i turn on my head lights or my a/c this kills the truck.
    Any ideas?

    Alternator checked out at 13.5v at the battery. Although this does sound like a Alt problem

    I'd bet it's a bad battery or a bad alternator. Pull em off and get them checked, quick and cheap diagnostics. Also check the fuses first.

    I have checked fuses with test light with engine running. the bank of 4 fuses for the head lights and the one for the a/c ar the only ones with no power. i cant turn them on with truck running because it stalls but today i will check with key on engine off.

    Shouldn't the the voltage output be higher? Low end should be 13.5

    Did the jumper cables get crossed up maybe? If so that would likely pop one of the big fuses under the hood.

    What's the voltage and age of battery? Might be bad cell.

    Battery is a 15 sitting at 12.3v. I did not cross the cables on jump. I agree I think that 13.5 is on the low end but still in spec. Would all this be due to a failed alt?

    Could be. If I tow into a Toyota dealer I'll ask a tech what the alternator output should be

    Does anyone know of a fuseable link in the abs side of electrical? At the abs 1and 2 fuses I'm getting 12v on one post and 4v on other indicating it's contacting power. The diagram I'm looking at does not give locations. Thanks for any help.
