    Hey guys

    May seem like a silly question,
    I left my key in the “on” position last night and drained the battery dead.

    Ive has a charger on it for at least 4 hours, no start. I ended up getting a new battery, upon installing it the dash lights are flickering and I’m getting no start

    I’ve cleaned battery terminals, my starter is less than a year old but just in case I tapped the solenoid in case it was stuck

    no idea what to do from here. I have an 06 TRD Off-road

    thanks

    No Taco will ever start if the car's left light is flashing. Why even attempt.

    I don’t think there is one.
    OP’s last post doesn’t make a lot of sense.
    Anyways, he got the problem solved, so that’s good.
