Stalled while driving

That's kinda the road I was heading down:
No click
Just died
Battery reads good

Sounds like the ignition switch is fubar. If it turns but wont actually move to the start position, it ain't gonna start.

 

I am going change it out . Take care of what small money items hoping one of them will be the culprit. Key will cycle to every position. But i have multiple fingers crossed.

 

I'm not saying this is the cause, but it seems you have a quick release bicycle seat clamp on your negative battery post. I'd at least replace that with a nut and bolt to make sure the negative terminal is tight around the battery post. If you try to move either battery cable with a horizontal twisting motion, do the cables move? If so, they're not tight enough.

 

I corrected that this afternoon and giving a good charge now with good battery charger. I bought a battery load tester from HF for $20 and when battery had load applied it was still in the green as good but a full charge while i am at it.

Would anyone have any point to point wiring diagrams they can pass along to me here or PM?
From keyed ignition to everywhere. I have not found anything on my truck. I am still calm but frustration is mounting.
I am waiting on keyed ignition module to be shipped.

 

No they didn't move before but of course the thin metal did give to bending. These are still not Toyota oem , i understand but a helluva lot better than i had .

 

I'll take my manual with me and if nobody has gotten it to you I'll have it at lunch.

 

Thank you sir!!! I do appreciate it. My neighbor!

 

So i might of got a little carried away but since i dont know exactly where problem is . I am checking all the electrical terminations and junctions.
Question what do all the relays control on backside of fuse panel in the cab? Why the hell would Toyota put them in this spot? I know the answer "tiny hand engineer's".

 

Also while i am here can i just remove these 3way butt splice to remove my factory alarm? I really dont use it. If someone wants my truck they can take it , its lojacked anyways. What else do i have to remove besides these for the alarm?

 

Uh.. those splices are from an aftermarket alarm that very well may be the cause of your issues

 

Yeah. Thats a good call. Maybe a bad splice is killing the engine? Good eye on that.

 

Awesome i will continue on with this. Sir so i just noticed something that doesn't seem right. Nothing with my main problem but concerning for sure. The gear positioner seems to be missing a gromet or tension lock ring . Is this an accurate assumption or it is meant to be like this?

 

those grommets break. only way to get a new one is a brand new shift cable. or locate a sequoia or tundra in the junkyard and extract the grommet from them without breaking it

 

I know it has been discussed before but where is the craftsmanship of workers these days? I wouldn't be able to work at that kind of place that doesn't care about quality of cosmetics. Toyota wiremen are crap!
This is my work follow the conductor art.

 

Can i use anything else?Maguyver style does it have to have play but to keep it from falling off. I know its not right but right now money stopped flowing last week (lay off) def

 

Automotive wiring is built to be mass produced. Toyota’s wirings actually pretty good compared to a lot of other companies.

the splices you have going on are from something aftermarket

 

Look around for a box with connectors that look like they belong in a rc car or computer. That will likely be an aftermarket alarm box. And more than likely cuts into the main ignition wires somewhere near the ignition switch. This is how they cut ignition if the alarm is tripped

 

Ok so these tiny wires are but spliced in #10 wires that lead to keyed ignition and a break glass , relay, fuse, and main security module and my tpms is wired into their wires. Is there a typical drawing that anyone has to help me get this out of here but to keep what i need to keep.

 

I’m afraid aftermarket alarms can be a mess. Not much help I can offer there.

 

Yes sir that is all here

 

Bummer i also had a smart start hooked up to my vehicle 7 years ago. Dismissed! But still there quality lagged also . I found a stripped wire with another wire wrapped around with tape . Huh . Fixed that but that was just preventative as it didnt help my current situation.

 

This is 80% of the time something that’ll cause a vehicle not to start. It likely has remote start functionality and if you have the remote sometimes this can get the truck to start, just using the remote.



look up the part number or model of the system on the box and diagrams might be out there

 

Factory alarm and Lojack'd. I would start there for sure. Most likely culprit based on symptoms.

 

99% of the time, you can just unplug the black box/brain and that kills the alarm system. Yes the shitty wiring job will still be there but it would rule that portion out.

I had a truck that had an aftermarket alarm that was causing the GM PASSLOCK security feature to kick in. You would have to do a key relearn each time which consisted of three 10 min cycles of attempting to start the truck. After running it down, it ended being a resistor the alarm company placed in line with the wiring harness to trick the truck into thinking there was a key in the ignition at all times. Car toys quoted me $80-$100 to completely remove the rest of the wiring but it never gave me any more problems so I just left it.

 

LoJack is now off and currently removing aftermarket alarm. Both of which i no longer want or need anymore (hint,hint).

 

I am still searching point to point plus removed the lojack and aftermarket alarm which i found this yellow with grey color morse code print around the wire cut in half Not me!
But as i delving farther into this fix. I am now wondering if i fix with suitcase, dont have any, size 22 butt splice barrel, or with ferrules crimped and a small wago mechanical connector . Over did . Yes but wont this repair cause resistance an furthermore mess with ECM and disaster to be larger than current crisis?
