Greetings!

I'm working with an '84 4runner 22R.

I just finished up the 32/36 weber swap and I seem to be having some electrical issues. Ive got the choke wired up as it should be, but it seems something in that whole process has killed my battery.

Current Symptoms:
-truck must be jumped for every start
-while running, the radio cuts on an off every time I a)use a turn signal/change the lights/anything on that arm and b)hit the brakes.

Looks like while the truck is running, there's 14v reading out from the battery so it's not an alternator problem, correct?

I want to try tossing another battery in there but I don't want to kill another battery if there's some other underlying issue that needs to be dealt with first.

I'm super green when it comes to electronics so any an all help in the simplest terms is greatly appreciated!

 

When you swap from Aisin to Weber, you will have a couple of extra sensors not being used. I would try removing all the electrical connectors and see if your issue goes away.

Did this just start with the carburator swap? Most electrical issues I see is from stereos, trailer wiring, or non factory wiring added by someone in the past.
