    Went to start truck last nite and heard a pop..like a fuse or something grounded out. Tried again and now battery acts dead. Interior lights work until I turn ignition on then they go dim and dash lights barely operate. So I got the charger out and it doesn't operate normally like the problem is prohibiting the charger from working. Thinking a fuse blown or something is grounded out. Any guidance would be helpful . 2015 Tacoma

    Sounds like a bad battery. The pop you probably heard was the starter solenoid or starter trying to turn over. Check the voltage on the battery and try a load test. Or take it to autozone or somewhere where they do free testing

    This ^^^ Get a reading for the battery or take it to auto parts house and have it tested.
