Tacoma won't start. No clicking, no headlights.

It acts like there is no battery in it. No power anywhere. Checked all fuses battery is good. No clicking no headlights no nothing any ideas??

 

PTS or key?

How do you know the battery is good?

 

Put it on a charger and reads charged

 

And Q1 answer?

 

Is your FOB dead?

 

Does the horn work?

Yes, I’m serious. We have to start some where.

 

You can have voltage and fail a load test.

I'm asking about the type of key because if it's PTS the fob could be dead. Try your spare or put the fob right by the button

 

Key start

 

Does the horn work?

 

You can answer more than one question at a time and move things along faster.

 

No horn

 

The horn is tied directly to the battery.
You have a bad battery, or connection to the battery.

Just to be 100% sure, check both sides of the fuse for power.

 

Pull the battery and have it load tested at a parts house. If all connections are clean and tight.

 

A bad battery with voltage should still be able to power some things within. I suspect there's something else at play, but I'd also recommend a load test on the battery.

 

Ok ill get back to you. Thank you

 

Actuality, there is a possibility you have a bad connection between the battery and fuse box.
I don’t have the locations for the connections on a 3rd Gen. But there is a connection 2A that might be the problem too. @caribe makaira might have the location.

I’m betting it’s the main cable bolted to the fuse box under the hood.
Check that wire, pop the fuse box top and see.

 

try jumping it

 

Do you have a voltage meter?
We can surely get to the bottom of this fairly quick with the information already given.

 

Any recent electrical upgrades done to the truck, like lights or anything?

 

Its Friday.. but its a d#%$@ Q
Cables are connected to battery??? + -
