tick tick tick, start/stop turns off and on
I heard a ticking noise when I tried to start the car, when i hit the start/stop button the car turned off but then automatically came back on with an orange light. I pushed the start/stop switch and it turned off but came on again, multiple time until I was able to get it to turn off completely. The headlights remained on. I had the battery replaced in 2015 by the lexus dealer, I checked the connectors and didn't see anything odd. I am no mechanic, I hope someone can let me know if there is anything I can do or do I just have to schedule a service at the dealer?

I think the battery is dead.

Did you get an codes? At this point it's hard to diagnose. Could be the battery has prematurely expired, bad alternator, bad starter, bad leads.
I doubt anyone here will be able to help with this one. I would take it to a mechanic to get it sorted. Note you don't have to use a Lexus dealer. Any good mechanic who understands Toyotas should be able to diagnose the problem.
