HELP!!! Won't Start!!!!

[Jeremias]

My XR won't start. When I turn the key the starter just clicks, and when I push started it i couldn't use any radio, lights, or A/C or it would stall out. WTF??? Please help.:rolleyez:

Sounds like it may be a dead battery or alternator.. But since it's the radio, lights, ac, and it's stalling sounds more like the alternator.

I just got it like 2 months ago!

Fog lights, clutch, cig lighter like a week ago.

check the alternator...the belt probably broke or just came off....i had a 92 eclipse and it had those exact symptoms....it was my alternator belt...well it was the fact that it wasnt there anymore...lol:biggrin:

 

[Jeremias]

All belts are in place.

 

[GR8DANE]

Its got to be the alternator then...i'd have it checked by the dealer if noone can help on here:top:

Check the alternator fuse. This happened to mine about two months ago and I thought it was the alternator... turned out that the fuse had blown somehow. Personally, I didn't even realize the alternator HAD a fuse of it's own - but after a trip to Toyota service, that's what they said the problem was and it was fixed at no charge. But, check that - it could save you a trip. :top:

:dito:Listen to K2. If it's not the fuse, go to Sears and have them check your electrical system. They'll do it for free (at least they used to).

 

[Jeremias]

Where is this fuse, and what number is it?

I have no idea... like I said, I didn't know there was one! :laugh: We have a couple of Toyota Master Techs on here that could probably tell you.

Thanks alot but it was the battery. I took it to Toyota and they replaced it for me. I wonder why a 2 month old battery died in the first place...

It shouldn't, but you can get a lemon in anything :thumpdown:
