2008 toyota tundra 5.7L Truck's electrical system drained drastically. I replaced the battery, and after one start, it went dead again with in 10 minutes. show very little light. on dash board. Voltage of the new battery showed 13Volts, and car did start after 5-8 second of cranking. Then after I came back from a store where I bought the battery, I tried to start it again and the voltage was gone. What can be the problem. The truck has a viper remote starter. When I tried to start the ruck with it , it did cranked the ignition, 3 times but the truck did not start. That was before I changed the battery. The Viper remote when i pushed the button to close all doors it did not response, just the lights were flashed twice.

the starter should be replaced. The solenoid is kikcing the pinion out but there is no contact being made to turn the starter motor. I have the exact same truck and before i changed the starter used the old starter tap trick. Tap the starter casing with a hammer and it should start turning again. hope this was helpful for you. Good luck.

check air filter for dirty , how many miles or kms have your car? , maybe need to replace spark plugs, try to reset the ecu for a momentany malfunction, remove the negative battery terminal few minutes and reconnect,start engine and drive, check if lights goes off , please write me

SOURCE: Engine won't start. Dash lights flash rapidly when key turned.

the battery says 12 volts but may be dropping to 4 or 5 under a load...i would suggest jumpstarting the car and see what happens.the battery should read in the high 12 volts and not less than 9.5 under cranking. the dash lights go out on your car when starting,and the alarm will go off ,and disable the ignition if the voltage is too low in cranking the car because the computer will shut it down and activate the anti theft.....check your battery posts are tight. best of luck

i'm sure it's not the starter itself that is the problem, have the stater's solenoid checked...it might be stucked. It's quite a lot of work removing the starter but you can do it if you are willing enough to learn. You just need the right idea and tools to do it. Hope this will help save you bucks!
