1994 4runner no power going anywhere for it do alittle power will go threw but not enough to let it turn over

Trying to make sense of this.
What is your battery voltage?
Are the cable ends dirty?

CRSHR

As stated it's hard to understand. Does it not want to take a jump? Can you share a video?

87and94

Cable ends have been cleaned many many many times when hooked up to jumper cables very little power tracked threw anything it's like a flashlight where the battery is about to die where it's just not enough to power and that was with the street that's in and the battery out of my 87

CRSHR

Do your lights and wipers work normally or are they lacking power as well?

87and94

At first they worked but then later that day when I went back to hook the battery I'm they didn't have enough power to work

Put your battery on a charger for a while and either test the voltage (might tell you something) or take it to a parts store and have them load test it (will tell you for sure if it's good). You could also take the battery out of whatever you are trying to jump start it with and try it in your truck. Sometimes a bad battery won't even take a jump start.

CRSHR

I've seen cheap jumper cables cause the same problem. You try and jump it and the cables just get hot. Agreed test battery first. Lights and wipers were working ok you problem is likely the battery or wiring. In rare cases I've seen a starter pull to much restance and cause this issue as well.

I've taken the battery out of my 1987 Toyota pick up the battery from that was the battery which is in this 1994 4Runner threes and I have this new Optima battery or was new off my battery was because I got this 87 I need a battery for it so I put the one from the 4Runner and the 87 this is after 6 months ago some stuff happen alternator in cold air intake touched exploded now no power going anywhere after I drove home no power is going anywhere had to get it towed home but now nothing's going anywhere I can't jump it what there used to be a little bit of power going through it very very little power last week and when I tried this and I put the battery in my from 87 in this 4Runner and still very little power going through

CRSHR

Sounds like you shorted something out. Have you checked your fuses?

87and94

Fuses all look good unless there's some hidden ones I've checked the ones in the engine compartment is there any relays I should know about that could really use a fixing

CRSHR

Did you check the ALT fuse? It can blow in a short like this. Here is a pick of a fuse panel I have laying around.

87and94

Trying to remove that fuse the cover came off it anyway to remove it

CRSHR

That's no big deal. I have popped the cover off them at work and stuck a pocket screwdriver in the bad fuse just so I could start it and drive it in the shop.

I hope it's the amount of that limit the amount of power that's traveling everything

After trying to translate these posts, between the 1987 pickup and 1994 Four Runner it still seems like both batteries are not at the proper voltage to start it.
Is there any possible way you can measure the voltage?

87and94

Voltage in the 1987s batter is perfect I've had it tested last weekend it's perfect the 4runner is just I don't know sorry for the problem with these chats I'm multitasking

ksti

Ya, that was a week ago it was tested.
I'm sure their has been a some strain put on that battery since then, which is why you need to check the voltage 12.6 volts or more.

87and94

The 87 is my daily I drive it everyday I k ow the battery is fine

Okay,
After 18 posts we have gotten nowhere,
Sorry, wish I could be of more help.

When you figure out what's wrong and fix it, please post what it was
