Hey guys, went to go home from work today, put key in the ignition, turned it, nothing, no radio, no dashboard lights, nothing.. Try to crank, its like I havent even touched the ignition, the key turns fine but its like the car is absolutely dead. No starter click nothing at all!
External lights work fine, inside lights, brake lights all that work sweet as. Its almost like the car doesn't have a motor or any accessories connected to the ignition. Checked all fuses and they look fine. Ignition relay perhaps...? Where would I find this? Thanks... |

Dead battery or starter?

Sounds like the battery has enough juice to power small things but not the big things.
That or there is a blown fuse somewhere. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

Could be the EFI relay in the relay box under the hood. I had this exact problem once after I dropped my old 5S in my blue Celica. Turns out I was just missing my EFI relay.

Tried to jump the motor last nite too. Left it with jumper cables on for a good long AGES and still no signs of life at all. I have checked all of the fuses in the drivers side compartment and in the engine bay that I can think of and they seem to be fine.
EFI Relay, hmm would that cause no signs of life at all? |

Check (and maybe replace) all the cables that are attached to your battery. It may be a bad connection or just to much corrosion for the battery to push the juice to the rest of the car.
I had that problem for about 2 months ago. Replaced the cables and the car starts wonderfully! ^^ --------------------  |
