    Quick update! I changed the battery, but first I cleaned the terminals—the positive one was completely covered in oxidation. After giving it a good clean, everything works perfectly now. I bought the truck used about 3 weeks ago, just before it hit 150k miles. I guess the previous owner didn’t bother with maintenance or didn’t pay attention to the old battery. Either way, I have to say, that Tacoma lives up to its reputation for reliability. Even when there's an 'issue,' it's more like just a lack of maintenance than a real issue.

    FWIW... this is a no crank situation not a no start situation, totally different diagnosis involved.

    Okay, thank you.
    English is not my first language, so sometimes I am not good at expressing myself. But the important is that my car is driving again :D

    It is squealing when starts. It gets quieter after driving for a while. I used a spray belt conditioner, it is better, but still a little squeaky
