2011 Toyota Avalon sat without being driven and the battery got too low to start the car. I hooked up two different car batteries to the Avalon and it had power but would not start.
I suspected the key fob battery was super old and weak so I put in a new battery. After changing the key fob battery I connected the car's battery back up. Now absolutely nothing works. No lights whatsoever will turn on. The car acts like it does not even detect that the car battery is even connected.
I have hooked the car battery up to two different battery chargers which both indicate that the battery is sufficiently charged. The little red light on the key fob does come on when I press the button so I believe the key fob itself is working. Anyway even without the key fob working the car should have some lights and sounds when you push the start button or hit the horn.
The car is getting zero electricity. I can only think of two possibilities. When I originally tried hooking up those other batteries to get the car to start I may have tripped some master breaker? Or have I activated some sort of security lockout when I changed the key fob battery?
Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated!
