    Airbag deployment? What was the damage like?

    I'm trying to get through all of the details and am left with the preceding questions.

    Have you checked the fusible links as well?

    Check the body ground between the battery and the inner fender, that it’s present, tight, and has no paint on the area that the eyelet touches.

    Let’s start with a few easy ones to help point us in the right direction.
    Does the horn work?
    Do the brake lights work?

    Sounds like a blown EFI fuse or a blown 100- 140 amp alternator fuse. Maybe even a bad AM1-2 fuse.

    Regardless of what is happening, you guys are going to have to get into some wire testing for continuity, and fuse checks...

    The horn isn’t fed from the ALT fuse.
    It comes directly from the battery to the horn fuse. We got other issues. Like a main line issue. Are you sure the battery wire is connected inside the fuse block?

    Are all the grounds hooked up?
    Do you have a test light?

    When you turn the key any click? No. Sounds like you have to trace wires starting at the key.

    The reason I asked about the brake light was see where we don’t have power.
    As of now, it looks like no power from the battery to any fuses.

    But……We really don’t know.
    OP needs a test light. It would make this so much faster and easier to diagnose.

    Continuity checking isn’t really going to do much. We need voltage and it’s ability to carry it.

    Dumb question, did you replace the battery? In a collision like that it could look okay but have internal damage. After that I would check the fusible links.

    I haven't looked at the main engine diagram in a long time so it was just a blind suggestion on my part.

    He needs a power probe or test light indeed if that's the case. Because no functionality of anything is a terrible place to be in right now for him after all that work.

    I agree. I’d start with what fuse have power.
    Toyota made it easy. They show the flow path on the fuse box diagram.
    Power from batter comes in @2C
    Out through the 120A Fuse to the handy little bolt at the top left corner.
    You’ll also notice that it split off at the line side of the 140A fuse and goes to the horn and dome light.
    Which means, they don’t use the 140A fuse.

    I’d start like this.

    1. Battery
    2. Do all test from the battery negative post.
    3. Check battery main power wire for good connection.
    4. Check Power at Dome fuse
    5. Check Power at the bolt on top left corner of diagram

    If the fuses have power, and still nothing. Check the Ground wires. (Since you were checking from the battery negative post)IMG_1145.jpg
