No Power? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So I was driving my car perfectly fine and I decided I wanted to move my car into the garage. electronics still worked at this point. Locks, gauge cluster worked. Right when I went to turn the car over it clicked once and completely died. I checked all the fuses they're good except the DRL and fog light fuse which shouldn't hinder the car from starting. replaced the battery today thinking it would fix it since the last one was bad told to me by AAA and AutoZone. Also when I plugged the battery in when it was good and running. You'd hear electronics turning on and the fuel pump and things of that nature being activated. But now with the battery before I replaced it, nothing seems to be activated as well with the new battery I just installed as well. the wipers work and the led for the ac is on but nothing in the gauge cluster is on. I don't know what it could be. the car makes 3 clicks when I turn the key over but that's about it. the battery fuses on the terminal are still good LMK your inputs thank you.

This is similar to what happened with mine when the battery tie down came loose and the vehicle shorted out over a bump.

I know you said you checked the fuses, but make sure you checked the main fuse for the starting system, engine control unit (bottom right fuse in the engine fuse box). I believe that is the one that popped in mine.

Noted I will double check everything and update you

The ability to check fuses is not a substitute for the possession of and knowledge of how to use a multi-meter. If you don't have one, purchase a cheap one from your local auto supply store and learn how to use it, then come back and we can ask more specific questions that you can verify for us.

You sure about that? There are a few grounds that mount to the top of the block by the bell housing. You get them all back in place? I think there is a ground on the long starter bolt too. Can’t remember for sure.

Ofc I’m sure. How else would I be driving the car if I didn’t plug everything back in and into place? It was literally running and I was driving it.

My other car wouldn’t start the other day. Neg terminal was loose. Bad connections do inconsistent things.
