So after saving this truck from going to a junkyard last summer. I had her in pretty good working condition after swapping in a motor and many other replacements. I drove her on weekends for the past 10 months never had a single issue. After returning from a week long vacation I hopped in to start her. I got the starter clicking noise. Charged the battery overnight ( outside of the truck ) and hooked everything back up and realized that now nothing is coming on. Not the dash lights, not the key buzzing sound, not the radio, no headlights, no horn, no dome light I mean nothing. So I assumed the battery was just shot ( even though it is only 9 months old ). Swap in new battery. Same thing. Nothing not a peep. Then I pulled my Tundra up and gave her a jump and voila starts like a champ. Disconnect the jump and drive for 30 minutes. And she is dead dead again. So then I took the Tundra battery and slapped it in, same result dead. No sounds no headlights no horn same as before.
When I use the jumper cables while connected to just a battery sitting on the ground and connected to the battery that is hooked up in the truck, the headlights work, all the noises come on like usual and it starts. I checked the smaller fuses under the hood and the ones by the left kick plate in the drivers side. Maybe I need to start swapping some of the bigger 40 AMP fuses? Looking for some advice. Thanks in advance for your time. I hope I'm explaining this well, if not just tell me.
I read other not starting topics in the T100 thread. Read about the transmission park or neutral switch. I tried disconnecting that and got the same result. Reconnected it.
I then read about some alarm red light on the lower left side of the dash. Mine is just a red light and not actually a button. So nothing to do there. Tried starting her in neutral, same result. Tried turning the wheel different ways.
Only other thing that I think is worth mentioning. When I was checking fuses by the left kick plate I did notice there is a tiny light down there by that box. It is on, it seems dim. But it is lit up when the door is open. So some power is eeking through.
