This is too vague 1.are you getting power anywhere?
Without being there there are hundreds of possiblities to your question.
If you don't have the money for a technician to fix it(hundereds of dollars)
You can get either a chilton's or haynes manual electrical version and troubleshooting for your car at auto zone or the like for about 10 dollars.
Get that narrow it down and post back.good luck
Bad battery and/or alternator.
how do you take the wires from the alternator on a 1997 Toyota Tercel
disconnect negative battery tml.,remove the plug from the alternator,remove the main battery wire from the stud on the alternator, remove the lock bolt, swing alternator down to remove belt, remove pivot bolt, swing alt. until its out. replacement is reverse of remova; To take out the alternator on a 88' tercel, you have to do it from under the car
The alternator is on the passenger side between the firewall and the motor.
the voltage regulator is built into the alternator
The 1997 Tercel's alternator is located (if your looking from the front of the car) on the lower left side of the engine. It can be accessed from the underside of the car after removing the shield under the car.
The same thing happened to my 1995 Tercel. I guessed that it was the Alternator. To test if it was, I disconnected the battery while the car was on, and it instantly turned off, which confirms that indeed the alternator is dead. My mechanic also confirmed it. I bought a new one for $95, and once the mechanic changed it, the lights turned off. The same thing happened to my 1995 Tercel. I guessed that it was the Alternator.

Look at the bottom of the engine try to follow the + battery cable
Toyota Tercel was created in 1978.
Because its a old car and you used to long
The placement of the voltage regulator depends on the year of the Tercel. Some are mounted on the fender or firewall, most are an integral part of the alternator and cannot be replaced separately.
Do you mean What does it mean when the brake and battery lights come on in when it is already started? Check your alternator may be its not working well it cause the battery sign comes out.
