IS300 unlocked then died-DEAD
Hi Folks,
My daughters 01 auto IS 300 popped the trunk, unlocked the doors, lit up the dash but when she tried to turn it over it went dead. No cranking. Cannot lock the doors or any electrical function. Totally dead. My question is this. Does the security system in the car disable it totally? I would assume even a weak battery would still set off the door locks.
I once had a bad battery in a LS 400 and once the battery was replaced I had to do a dance with the key and outside door lock to get the starter to turn over (security shutdown). If that may be the case how do you reset it?
Thanks for the help!

If the battery was dead then things wouldnt work up front.
I have had this problem SEVERAL times w/ my 93 Rx7. It usually occurs after working on it and not paying attention to things like making sure the battery cables are on securely
Check the battery cable connections and jiggle them around a little bit. Just b/c they are on there snugly doesn't mean its completing the circuit. Also - check the terminals or cable ends for corrosion. This could cause it as well.
