1992 Toyota Pickup Logo
Anonymous Posted on Apr 04, 2010

Installed new battery in 92 Toyota pickup, now I have no power inside vehicle; radio, clock etc and it will not turn over. Dome light has power, headlights work. Starter will not engage. Checked battery and it is good. Tried jumping with another vehicle, no luck. Ive checked fuses and all are OK. Maybe shorted something out by not connecting wires back properly? Large white wire going to fuse box connected to positive, large wire going to starter connected to positive. Smaller wire in same sheath as wire to starter connected to negative, I believe this is correct connection pattern.

    No. The battery had a dead cell, wouldn't accept charge, truck would start if boosted but battery would not charge. Everything worked fine. I did not pay attention to connection and I connected the white wire going to the fuse box to the negative terminal, and both the starter wire and ground wire to positive terminal. Got a lot of sparking from wire to fuse box.
    Where would fusible links be?

You have a wire off some where look real good,one may have fell down under the battery or somewhere,or there is a fusible link burned.

    ok the white wire needs to be to the positive cable,there is a fuse blown,you just do not see it,look,use a test light on the fuses,or a volt meter,check each side of the fuses,where the metal shows,if only one side shows voltage,then the fuse is blown,you can not always go by site,to check the fuses,you may have to remove the fuse box to look under it.But only if there is no voltage on the fuses.Let me know something here so I can help.

2007 Toyota Camry. Dome light, radio, cigarette lighter, horn and clock not working and all fuses are good on both fuse boxes. Any one knows why?

All of those are controlled by or influenced the BCM. You need a good auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool to check the BCM and communication to and from it.

I have purchased a brand new battery,alternator,cylanoid,voltage regulator and starter for my 1984 ford f250 pickup,and the battery will not hold a charge

It sounds to me like something is drawing battery power after the ignition switch is turned off. You can determine this by disconnecting the positive battery cable from the battery. Now connect a regular DC test light from the positive terminal of the battery to the cable that you have just removed. If the test light illuminates, you know that something is staying on. Now, with the test light still connected, remove each fuse in the vehicles fuse panel, one at a time, until the light goes off. (there may be more than one fuse panel, check the owners manual) When it does go off, you have just identified the circuit that is staying active. Keep in mind that some vehicles have circuits that stay active for a short time after the ignition has been turned off. E.g. radio memory, dash clock, headlights or dome lights that go off after a certain time. These can cause the test light to illuminate also.

2003 Toyota echo flashing battery light after installation of new battery.

The battery light indicates, when lit, that the charging system (alternator), is not supplying enough power to run the vehicle and thus is draining the battery of power. Under normal conditions this should never happen. Have your charging system checked.
