Recently on a very cold day (15F) I decided to take the FJ out to run some errands. When I went to start it, absolutely nothing happened. No cranking, no noise and none of the electrical accessories came on. I sat for a minute with the key in the on position, and suddenly the accessories (fan, lights) came on, and then it started fine. I drove for a while, turned it off for a while, and it started fine. But after the next stop, the same thing happened - no electricity, wait a few minutes, everything's fine.
Nothing like this has happened before, but this is probably the coldest day I've driven it on so maybe that has something to do with it. This isn't the typical cold weather sluggish start though -- absolutely nothing happens when you turn the key.
What could this be?
