So I'm just completely stumped and discouraged. What should I look at next? Is there some electronic component I have overlooked somewhere? I didn't test any relays because I was not sure that a faulty relay would cause an issue like this, am I wrong about that? Is there some other voltage regulator in my car that I don't know about? All fuses look intact, and all electrical systems are working. I have tried individually pulling fuses from the driver's side junction block to see if removing any circuit made the issue go away (no success). ![]() ![]() (the reason I tried the above is that the issue seems to go away for a short period pretty consistently after I have disconnected and reconnected the battery) bad alternator, loose battery connection, or poor ground connection. But before replacing the battery, you should rule out any other problems that may cause the dead battery symptoms, e.g. We use cookies to give you the best possible experience on. If your Toyota Corolla is hard to start, has slow crank, or makes clicking noise when you try to start the engine, it most probably is due to dead battery. When the key was turned I would here one click, NOT FROM THE STARTER, seemingly from the dash, and the dash lights would dim until I stopped turning, then immediately back to 100 The dimming of the dash lights seemed like an intentional dim, rather than dimming due to a drop in the power. I've tried changing the fusible block assembly and - Answered by a verified Toyota Mechanic. No dashboard lights and engine does not crank. I've tried changing the fusible block assembly and. I even tried swapping in a new ECU (again, jy) No dashboard lights and engine does not crank. I have tried swapping in a different relay integration (from the junkyard) I have located all ground straps from the kick panels (under the dash) forward, which seem to all be tight and intact You might want to start by checking for battery voltage down at the starter. If the vehicle will not start on its own a second time, you will need to have the battery and alternator condition diagnosed by a mechanic. I have been trying to fix this for quite some time now, with no success. I let it run for 20 minutes turned it off then tried to restart and it immediately acted as before withe lights lights on the dash dimming Toyota Mechanic: Amedee Ok as long as the battery is good, this would suggest a faulty starter motor. It's just really annoying, and kind of unsafe, as the headlights will completely go out momentarily and then return to original brightness (when the issue is happening of course). I have never been stranded due to this issue, and the car has never not started. Additionally: when I'm sitting in park with the car running, or sitting in drive at a light, and I put on the hazards, the engine will start surging (this symptom is pretty consistent). Sometimes when I hit the brakes, or apply the hazards/turn signals, some variation of my headlights/dashlights/clock will dim, but of course, it only happens sometimes (and this only happens when the car is running). ![]() I have a great Corolla (1.8L DX Wagon) with a pesky intermittent electrical issue.
