Toyota Corolla 1989 SR5 2 dr, manual 1600 2wd
The wire that energizes the choke heater and the big alt wire (white w/ blue diamonds) has very low voltage, not enough to energize the relay, ....1.6V
The whole story.
No power to the above wire at the alt....charge light is on....system is charging 14.6V. The choke only gets 1.4V, I am certain it needs much more.
All fuses have been checked with a test light. Fuseable links are fine, the splice under the battery is okey dokey, there is a toyota service bulletin #0246AP, but I cannot locate a version to read.
If I jump power to either side of the 7.5A engine control fuse the choke heater works, the charge light is off...
Have done the: key on engine off test of alt wires.
Sure would appreciate any assistance on this from someone in the know....I betcha it is pretty simple.
Thanks

A local Sears quoted me $110.
Is there any advantage in getting the dealer replacement?
Also is $300 each ($600 total) a reasonable price for brakes (front and back). I mean it is a Corolla... so does sound a bit excessive...
Havent gotten brakes quote though.
80-110 ? Sears or independent...?
In August, the engine broke and was replaced under warranty at no charge to me in Birmingham, AL at about 35,000 miles. I moved to NY and took it to a dealership in November for an 5,000 mile maintenance. I informed them that I got a new engine. The dealership told me that I had to flush my engine because it's dirty as well as a coolant. I called the Toyota dealership In Birmingham and they told me there was no need for a maintenance and the engine & coolant flush was done when the new engine was replaced.
They give me a new engine but kept the old valves that were in good condition. If they were in old condition they replaced it. So my question is, do I need an engine or coolant flushed?
Any help/direction I can get, as to where that noise may be coming from and what I can do to fix it,is appreciated.
I see pricing all over the place with 89 specials from Midas per brake to 300 for dealer?
What is a reasonable price and what should i look for in the lower price?
I did reset my mini van. Every time you change or rotate your tire, you have to reset.
Also a car that is overheating will cause this, and also a car with lots of carbon buildup in the cylinders (too high a reading when you take a compression test).
Should she go to the Toyota body shop to see if they repair that clip and put the pieces back into the snapin location or should she just try a standard body shop? There is NO damage to the bumper's paint. It looks like they hit the front license plate area and just nudged it and the right side flexed.

Good luck!
If you get a vibration *at a certain speed* this is a rotational issue of some kind, which limits you to a) rotating wheels/tires; b) rotating axle shafts and c) rotating engine.
I've listed probably causes in sequence of most likely first.

I had that happen on a rental Chevy Malibu a couple of years ago. Brand new. The car ran great up to 45 mph. Over that, there was heavy vibration in the front tire.
You could have a bearing going bad in an alternator, for instance. I'd suspect water pump, alternator, air conditioner compressor, or even the tensioner pulley.
If you determine that the noise goes away, turn off the engine and spin the accessories by hand. Wiggle the pulleys of the accessories to see if you can determine which is bad.
I've used this diagnostic approach on two of my vehicles in the last year. One was a water pump beginning to go bad. Another was a tensioner pulley.
Good luck.
