New battery. No dash lights or and will not turn over to start
'94' Toyota pickup, 4X4 V6. Replaced battery because it wouldn't hold a charge. Now I don't have dash light, gages don't work and it will not turn over to try and start.
Re: New battery. No dash lights or and will not turn over...
Were the cables really corroded sometimes even cleaning them isnt enough due to corrosion in the cable check for voltage at batt and at starter with testlight or volt meter

The usual cause of this is a dying battery, which has enough charge to pull in the starter solenoid (the click), but not always enough to crank the engine.This is because such a battery cannot hold a good charge for very long.
If you feel your battery is definitely OK then it would be the large contacts at the bottom of the starter solenoid, which are worn out. The solenoid pulls in but contact is made only intermittently. I had a Toyota once which did that.
sounds like you have no power(12v) going to the alternator.verify the single red wire @ alternator has 12v. if there is no power you'll need to trace the wiring,.start by checking fuses in cab & in the engine compartment fuse boxes
hello, it sounds like the alternator is the problem, most auto parts stores can check the alternator/charging system at no charge without removing it from the truck, I'm sure you will find that the alternator needs to be replaced.
Your truck is going to take about 5.5 quarts.
Since your motor have some high miles on it, I would use non-synthetic 10w-30 oil that has the high mileage formula.
Synthetic will cause leaks on an old engine because the molecules are smaller and will go through gaskets easily. High mileage formula will help recondition the gaskets.
