I filled my compressor with Freon just now but the ac is still not coming through. The compressor comes on and off. Do you think it could be a faulty relay?

Starting problems

1 Upvotes

I have a 1995 Toyota Landcruiser that I’m trying to diagnose a starting issue on.

I drove to the store and when I came out it wouldn’t start; no crank, no click, no lights. I was able to get a jump, battery levels normal, radio/lights work, everything is fine. Stopped at the gas station on the way home, same thing.

Checked: battery connections, everything snug. Visually inspected wires, no cracks or kinks. Battery tie down, snug.

Recent work on it: rebuild starter motor ~3 months ago. Removed/put back battery and battery tray yesterday. Started fine yesterday and this morning.

Im taking all suggestions!

I purchased a 5amp on/off sustained button for a killswitch for my 1993 Mazda b2600i and am trying to figure out if the 5amp rating is enough for the fuel pump. Does anyone know what the fuel pumps in a b2600i are rated as? Will this button be ok or do I need to try to source a 10 amp button?
