The old "hot wire" routine only works on ignition systems that use points. I suggest that your efforts may have caused more serious problems with a solid-state ignition system.
Did you by any chance make a spark removing that battery? If you did or didnt I suggest you check the fuse
no they didnt
He was supposed to get replaced in new moon but didnt :P
As long as you didnt leave the lights on or anything like that, it is probably a current draw. In other words, probably a wire that supplies power to something is touching a grounded source and drawing power from the battery. Also possibly have a weak battery or a lot of corrosion on the battery terminals.
i have the same problem i replaced the ignitor and that didnt fix it then i replaced the distibitor and that didnt fix it but some one told me that it could be the temp sensor and failer to the button contact in the distribitor cap or module pick up or failer of the ignition control module if any of them don't help id take it to ya Toyota dealer and get them to check it out for u mate u
cause they didnt think of it
well usually it is an ignition module but cant be 100 % because you didnt say what kind of vehicle you have
no, they tried that once....didnt end so well
because if the earth didnt rotate it didnt cause day and night
it may be the starter going out doing it . it will kill the alternator if it keeps going . I know i had it happen to my 96 olds replaced the alt still didnt start and the starter fixed it
because they didnt want to stay cause they didnt have money for rent
I worked on one like that a couple years ago and it turned out to be the computer was at fault.
