Ok i was trying to start my truck no problem. I moved it out of the garage to bring some things in. Did everything, so was going to drive the truck back in the garage. I put it on on, i think still had everthing to work, then when i tried to crank it, nothing happened. I tried again and still same. I took a closer look and the gauges wasent working. Nothing turned on. All lights dont work. Nothing at all.Battery all good. Check all the fuses, but all good. What could be the problem?

 

how do you know the battery is good? what kind of vehicle? what year? what engine? stick or auto?

 

check the fusible link.

 

I got the battery tester thing. it was 12 volts. It was runnng perfect. Then all of a sudden nothing worked. 91 p/u 4x4 v6 5 speed. Drove it this morning with no problems. Then all the electrical things on the truck dosent work.lights, hazards. clock, guages, nothing. And i got 2 yota, same year , motor and everthing. switched fuses, but still nothing

 

check the fusible link and check your main power cables for any sign of damage or corrosion or anything. are the battery terminals clean? what about terminals on the starter and all that?

 

whats the fusible link? Terminals all good. But ima check the power wire. But the thing is i just moved the truck, 10 min later when i went to remove nothing worked. started up perfectly, nothing wrong. But ill check the power wires

 

its typically in the engine compartment and should look something similar to http://catalog.autohausaz.com/autoha...jgpl55vlqbvt55

i dont really know how to TEST it without having another one around.

can you be push started?

 

okok, i found the problem. The positive terminal on the batt was loose . But i did try check for corosion, moved the positive around and was loose! So thanks for all the help =D i know i deserve a b-slap Thanks guys!

 

youre not the first one to have that happen! just wait till you hit the window lock switch and cant figure out why only the drivers window will open.

lesson learned.

Correct me if im wrong but isnt the correct battery voltage supposed to be 12.6v?

 

Trouble will be right at the battery connection, fuseblock or inbetween then two. Which narrows your trouble down to about a 12" section.
