After battery shorted, vehicle won't start

hey , i need some help. i recently bought a 97 4runner sr5, my wife was driving and had to swerve to keep hitting a car that pulled out in front of her. and when she did that the battery flipped over and shorted out. now the vehicle wont do anything. i checked all the fuses and they're all good any input is grateful. thanks

 

Check relays and everything else not just the fuses.

And get a tie down for that battery.

 

yeah i got a new battery and tie down. checked the relays in fues block. not sure if there are any in- line relays or fuses.

 

By anything do you mean no dash lights when turning key to "on"

or no crank?

 

nothing. no lights or anything. no fuel pump comeing on. no buzzer nothing

 

Check for a fusible link on one of the battery cables. I had this happen with a 1985 supra. I bypassed the link and everything was fine.

 

Did the battery cable pull itself loose from the far end or maybe the terminal crimp pulled itself loose? There's typically not much slack in them. I'm no mechanic but not sure a fuse would do anything just from a battery tipping?

 

no i checked that. it was sparking up against the engine

 

Oh ok...Sounds like qualified mechanic time if you have one you like.

 

is your battery ok

 

Good question. OP, have you tested the battery?

 

yes I replaced the battery. yeah I'm going to try my mechanic wish me luck lol

 

Your mechanic will find and fix it only question will it be 50 or 500 dollars?

 

thanks everyone for yalls the input. i did find the problem without taking it to the shop. it was a ground burnt in two. lol. thank goodness not a major problem.

 

good job sticking with it to figure it out...
