Won't start after replacing battery. SolvedSolved

Toyota Tacoma 2006  150000 miles
My 2006 Tacoma has been down for a couple months due to needing a new battery and terminals. I replaced the battery and terminal (positive) today. Now it will turn over once and then just shut everything down (like it's a dead battery). Could this be a fuse or relay? The battery is fully charged and the terminals are tightly connected.

Dashboard light all out at the saw time

Toyota Tacoma 2004 Pre runner tacoma 220000 miles
On dashboard lights just went out all of them at the same time. For some reason I think it’s either the fuse or something wrong with the wiring. If someone could help me, I would really appreciate it.

2007 toyota tacoma 4x4

Toyota Tacoma 2007 Trd prerunner 6 96000 miles
I have my tacoma with 96000 mile in it. Got it maintenance at a local toyota service center. They replaced spark plugs. After a few weeks I noticed that between 40 to 60 miles per hour my truck had a jerking or hesitation move. I physical check the 6 plugs...maybe it wasn't gapped correctly but they were. Also checked ingintion coils to see if they were burned or had any oil around...also looked fine except one of them was marked with an x in yellow. Scanned it as well an everything checks out or no engine light has turned on. What else could it be??

Cigarette lighter does not work

Bruce from United States a year ago
The first step in troubleshooting a non-functional cigarette lighter in a 2008 Toyota Tacoma is to check the fuse. This is usually located in the fuse panel under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.
If the fuse is not the issue, you can try checking the cigarette lighter socket itself. Make sure there is no debris or corrosion blocking the socket, and if it appears to be damaged or not making proper contact, it may need to be replaced.
If neither the fuse nor the socket appear to be the issue, you may have a problem with the wiring or the lighter itself.

My horn stopped working

Toyota Tacoma 2012 TRD 4dr  72000 miles
The horn stopped working, shortly before the radio stopped working. Seems to be an electrical issue. I checked the fuses and they look good. They don’t look like they popped so I’m not sure what’s causing it. Has anyone else run into this issue?

Screech when driving

Toyota Tacoma 2004  120000 miles
I own a Tacoma TRD 2004 manual 4x4 and the problem is the following: when driving over 30 mph, an annoying screech appears and increases with time. It only disappears when gearing and pressing the accelerator. When driving in third gear, I noticed that, if I speed the car up, the screech goes off, but the speedometer suddenly drops and the vehicle loses speed. Can someone help me or explain to me which the problem might be? Thank you.
