The powertrain is still under warranty if you're under 60K miles. It doesn't apply to electrical or battery issues but does cover the engine control computer.

Where did you get the new battery? If it was from an auto parts store, it's probably been on the shelf wet charged for months and may need recharging or is defective.

That usually isn't an issue at Toyota dealers, they go through so many that most have been on the shelf for a month or less. If it's an aftermarket battery with a return policy, consider doing that then get a fresh battery from a Toyota dealer, they're on sale this month and if that doesn't work, it will buy you some good will if your car winds up at a Toyota dealership for repair.

All lot of details were missing since he had two threads going but the battery tested out OK.

Gonna try a bunch of things this evening when I get off work. Unfortunately I work until 8 PM, so I don't have much time to work on it and no sunlight lol. Gonna replace keyfob battery, clean and retighten battery connections, attempt to turn wheel as I'm also reading that a wheel lock can inhibit a start, etc.

Your various other symptoms would eliminate such things as keyfob, wheel lock, clutch switch, etc. If it was just a no start without the click and everything else working it may be those things but it certainly appears to be a power issue from everything you have said.

Sounds like battery

Gave it another go during my lunch break. No luck. Definitely appears to be an electronic/battery issue. Windows, Headlights, Interior Light, Door locks and such don't work. The dash lights up and continually beeps at me. Showing multiple errors (Power Steering error, Break Error, etc.) Press in break and attempt to start the vehicle and it does absolutely nothing. Just tells me to press in the break and hit the start button. Getting pretty sick of screwing with it as I have limited time and am a long shot from a mechanic. Probably just gonna try and get it towed if possible (parked in a really awful spot and car won't go into neutral) so not sure how that's gonna work.

Thank you, I was curious what that little black dot was for but couldn't find anything in the owners manual.

What can I do to remedy this? I've jumped the old battery. Went in and had it tested, they said it was bad. Bought a new one. Had it tested before I left the store (14v). Installed it and had the exact same issue. :/

I didn't know you replaced the battery. Check terminals are snug.
Unless you have a fuse out that's throwing things off?

I haven't searched for your other threads so apologies if these have been eliminated already. Have you checked the connections at the solenoid? Are they tight and clean? Have you checked the ECU for error codes? Have you got the battery connected with the correct polarity? Do we have a fusable link that might have blown? Did you try tapping the solenoid in case it is sticky?

Gonna give these a shot tonight. Thank you brother. Haven't checked the ECU for error codes as I don't know anyone with a code reader. Battery is connected as it should be to the best of my knowledge. Possible fuse blown, will test that as well. I did tap the solenoid, no luck there unfortunately.

Terminals are snug brother. So odd I get power to the dash, but absolutely nowhere else.
