strange electrical issue 5th gen 2017
I am having strange electrical issue with my 2017 4runner. I am running a redarc dual battery system that has worked with zero issues for over 4 years. I had to replace the main battery a few months ago under warranty and everything was working fine until my Spod would not turn on with the 2nd battery. The 2nd battery tested fine, but I changed the battery and the Spod works fine.
a month later the 4runner died again when I was out. Nothing on the dash was lighting up or door activation. I checked the battery connection and everything looked visually ok. I was able to jump the + from the dual battery and start the the 4runner. When I put it in reverse the car died again.
Once again I jumped the battery and it started.
When I was driving home I could not control the passenger or rear windows from the door buttons but I was able to control my window and the rear window from the rear door.(issue fixed) I have no clue if this is different issues or all related.
The shop I use is 60 miles away and hard to get appointments, or I can take it to Toyota for a diagnostics. I am not sure about more local shops with all the upgraded wiring.
when 4runner is running, I am getting 13.5 V on meter so not sure if the alternator has issue? looking into sdhq offroad upgraded alternator?
