Hello - I have an intermittent issue that everyone once in a while my FJ60 will not start. No crank - just dead & no dash lights. I replaced the battery as well as replaced the connections from the battery to the starter motor. The starter motor and alternator were checked by my mechanic and I was told both were in working order.
When this issue happened I discovered I was able to jump the car and I was off and running. However, the issue happened other other day at Costco and my jumper trick didn’t work. Decided to finish my shopping (30 minutes) and then tried the battery jump again and it worked. I did notice the fan was not running when I tried the second time so IDK if that matters. In the past, when I did restart the truck with the jumper cable I believe the fan was running but I can’t confirm.
FWIW - truck has 72K miles. Any ideas or suggestions?
Pix for fun
