1999 Toyota 4Runner — old 6V-to-12V conversion has decades of splices

Checked the easy stuff on the 1999 Toyota 4Runner and found one clue worth chasing before I book a shop. I'd rather pay for diagnosis than a second guess-repair.

Low-voltage gremlins will strand you even with a full pack. Try a second charger before blaming the 1999 Toyota 4Runner — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. Then you'll know the next fork. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. I'll poke at it this weekend.
