No power

This morning I go to the truck to start it... no beep from the keyfob. Hit the brake and start. Nothing. Put the booster on.... nothing... weird. Anyone got any ideas?

 

Key fob battery dead? Try your spare

 

Tried.. thats not it. Not even a chime when the door is open. Its like it has lost all electrical functions

 

Put the keyfob closer to the ignition button ( against it)

unlucky dead battery

 

Sounds like your battery is dead

 

Yeah Saeros... even on a booster though... nothing...

 

try turn on headlights. probably dead battery

 

Sometimes batteries can fail to the point where a booster can't do anything.

 

Or shity / corroded Batt connection

 

Its most likley your battery, Have not had this happen on my truck, but allot of modern cars if the battery is just a little less than charged or not pushing what it needs to push, nothing will run. If its a newer Truck it could be a faulty battery or part of the battery is bad. I had this happen to my wifes old Chrysler 200 , Jump started it and took it to the dealer, it had a bad cell. replaced the battery and everything worked after that.

 

I heard from a reliable source that these batteries are hot garbage

 

Sure sound exactly like a bad battery. My tractor batteries always did the same when i bought those pos cheapo replacement rebuilt ones. They'd short themselves out.

 

Yep. Battery. Which is friggin weird. Nothing was on. I was told that the alternator isn't pushing what it should as well. Its going in for service on monday. Thanks.

 

I’ve read on a few other post that the batteries Toyota uses aren’t very good and that they change them, dunno how true they is but could have something to do with it

 

Also,

Our alternators only output approx 13.6V normally, so don't worry if that's all they saw. (Most other alternators push approx 14.4V)
