    Yesterday morning my Tacoma would not start. No dash lights, no headlights, nothing. Battery was pulled and tested good. Re-installed battery and it started right up. Turn off the key and completely dead again. Disconnect battery and reconnect battery and it started right up. Turned key off and it started right up twice, but went dead again. Disconnect / reconnect and started right up. Anyone have any ideas? Mahalo.

    As mentioned dirty & corroded cables and battery terminals will cause the problem you're experiencing

    Thanks Opteron & #211Corporal. They seemed very clean, but will give it a try.
