Ran fine this morning.Battery is tip top but nothing happens when I turn key.No noises or clicks period.Only thing that comes on is dash lights,oil symbol etc.

Bad starter perhaps?

KSIbucky fixed it with 2 new fuses but he does not mention which 2 fuses

I tried boosting and nada.So battery is fine.

Bridged the clutch safety switch and no go.

Anyone have any ideas on what fuses KSIbucky was referring to?

Everything else works,wipers,mirrors,domes,radio,indicators,headli ghts,rear wiper/washer etc.

Is it a manual? If so, maybe try bump starting it. That should let you know of it's the starter or not.

Going to try this as soon as i can find someone to help me push it.

I will report back.

So if it starts by bump starting then it is 100% starter?

Check for loose battery terminals and blown fusible links under the red plastic cap on the battery. I was replacing an alternator once and shorted the positive terminal to ground with my wrench. No start, no clicks, nothing after that.

Bad starter was the diagnosis.I bought a new one yesterday and installed this morning.He also noticed a loose rear wheel bearing as I asked him to tighten rear brakes while he had the car up.

Kinda glad I brought it to a shop because I did not notice the bearing was worn.

So know just waiting for something else to go.

Know to fix the low idle,almost stalling.

Low idle is due to extended battery disconnect. The ECU now has to relearn your fuel trims. It will settle back in shortly. If possible, go for an uninterrupted 30 minute drive.

Glad to hear you got it fixed.

Nice! Hopefully you won't have any more issues. The only major issues I've had with my yaris have been water pump, rear wheel bearings, and alternator.

To get 180k miles out of a car with only those minor issues is pretty good in my book, though.
