    hey guys i am new to the members section. however i am very familiar with the knowledge that oozes from this page .... I have a 2009 tacoma prerunneer, 94006 mi and just the other day it wouldnt start, randomly as well
    . no signs of leading up to losing power. first thought was battery , nope tests good at home and at autozone. diagnostics code is c1440 indicating a short or idk. it has power internally, lights, dash ,radio, trd pro grill lights. but when attempting to start it dies out. i mess with negative terminal and regain power. so if there is any suggestions before taking her in so they can take they time to find it j?k.. desperate as thisd is my work truck as well as personal. thank you
