RX300 - nothing happening

[Michael Hurn]

Hi all - this maybe an obvious question so apologies up front, but my RX300 which had power this morning is now not doing a thing. When I put key in and turn nothing happens not even a vague light on the dash. Is this just the Battery or something else?

Thank you!

Have you got a simple multimeter so you can test the Battery? Always a good tool to have, especially as they can be bought for as little as £8.  It seems very unusual for one to loose total power so quickly.

As Phil says, a multimeter would be a great asset to have for things like this.

Take off and clean both Battery clamps, also take off and clean both ends of the Battery to body earth strap and the engine to body earth strap (and also the other end of the Battery +ve cable) and make sure to tighten them properly when replacing.

If that doesn't sort it, you really need a multimeter.

Happened to me once...

Was a loose Battery!
