    Like the title says, i 'm not getting any power from my battery in my 03 taco. The clock won't even come on. I tried jump starting it and bump starting it, checked all the fuses. nothing worked. I don't have a voltmeter, but i'm borrowing one from a buddy soon. I don't think it's the battery as i have an 2 year old optima in there. anyways, wondering if anyone has had a similar occurrence or any idea of what it could be. I appreciate any help. Thanks
