Engine will not crank PLS HELP! Scion Xa 2005
Hi, for more than a week, my rear lights/odometerlights/ac **** lights did not work. i figured it was a 10A fuse that was blown in the fusebox under the dash. I had no spare so just to verify, i took the 10a fuse from underneath turn on the ignition, turned on the park lights, and bingo, all lights were working again. (I did not start the car then)
Now, the next morning, the car does not want to start. All appears normal, all light in the odo meter turn on etc, however, starter will not crank, all i hear is a tiny click from the relay in the fusebox under the dash on the left), all fuses are fine. Check also fuses in the engine compartment, all fine, and even took out the starter relay from the engine compartment fusebox to test for continuity when applying 12v on the coil, it is fine. Could it be because of pulling all the fuses one by one that I upset the computer? I read and followed one post here to reset the EFI? by taking out fuse #4 for 30seconds, but that did not help to start the car.
Please help! Need my car to go to work!

I've done it on a couple of cars, lmao.
Its a temp fix, but usually a sign of a dying starter.
Glad to see OP got it fixed.
