2008 Lexus GS350. Battery died because of bad alternator. Replaced alternator and now car won't crank but has power. I did research on the forums to see the problem and try to diagnose it but nothing, check fuses etc. One guy said let the car sit and reset so that is where we are at. I know a lot of people have had this problem from my search so what do you guys recommend we do from here? Help is much appreciated, thanks!
You say there is power, did you replace the battery, did you charge it, or at the very least try using jumper cables to start it? If not, well, you see what I'm getting at.
If the battery was left in the same rundown condition, it might appear as though power is present because the interior accessories seem to work, but don't be fooled, if the battery is weak and you push the start button, guess what, nothing is going to happen.
