Default Car would not start

I have a 2007 is250 , Yesterday I got in my car heading to work an pushed on the brake to start my car and the brake pedal was tight. Pushed the botten an all you hear is a click, dose not start. The lights come on the navigation works to but the engine dose not start. I got the battery just replaced two months ago. What could it be?

What he said ^

Im assuming your car isnt even turning over? What happens when you try to turn it over? A fade in power or everything is fine

My RSX killed off 3 batteries with a poorly done big 3 upgrade done by the previous owner. I know you just replaced your battery 2 months ago but check your batt and also check your lines going to your alt as well.

You mention the brake pedal being "tight". Did you mash on the brake pedal harder and try hitting the start button again?

Sorry for the additional post,
Forgot to mention I checked the fuses and all connectors,
I killed the battery trying to start it over the last 2 weeks.
Removed battery to recharge it , hoping it might reset the ecu.
Thanks
