Been working on my 04 4runner and it's whippin' my butt, no start, no crank, headlights don't work. Battery is good cleaned contacts + and -! Thought it was a relay and ordered it , took 5 days to get here and that wasn't the problem. These computerized cars are LOCO! Guess I'll have to let the $100 an hour guys do it?

Buy AMERICAN.
I have a Jeep Commander that's almost that old (2006) and it drives like new.

Most cars, esp Japanese ones are tough to work on...too cramped...need special tools...but I tip my hat to you for your tenacity.
You might want to consult the Cubans...they're still fixing up and driving our old 1950's cars.

Operation was a success, learned a little today. Funny thing I have been fixing my own cars since I was a teenager, rebuilt engines done most everything but didn't realize a battery that shows over 12 volts on a multi-meter can still be bad! See I don't know everything. I'll would love to have that 1955 Chevy!!

Glad that all worked out for you nnuut. I guess watching the voltage as you turn the ignition on might have helped? Not criticizing, just thinking for my future. Something else to try is jumping it off a running vehicle even though the battery voltage seems OK.

I had a similar problem with a 96 Grand Cherokee my wife owned and never figured it out until after we sold it. Of course neither did the finest minds at Chrysler/Jeep dealers in a couple of states. All under warrantee fortunately.

That was really a shame as it was a nice vehicle and we enjoyed travelling in it for the first couple years. After that we were afraid to take it on a trip as we were used to waving bye to it leaving on a transporter.

Much of what I learned in trade school back in the 70s applies today. Stuff about engine/system controls didn’t exist. (it ain’t a system it’s an automobile, engine controls means ignition system/timing/vacuum and mechanical advance) So like we say we live and learn. The days of “if she’ll crank she’ll start” are over.

Done with the hijack.

Yea all of that would have worked, even hooking up my battery charger at the 60 Amp START setting would have done it. I ordered a tester, it's in the mail! That won't happen again.
