Everything is DEAD!
I have a '93 4-Runner 3VZE Auto 250K. Cold Colorado morning, but it started right up and I drove 15 minutes to work. Backed into my parking spot, put it in park and everything is dead. No sound when you turn the key, won't come out of park, brake pedal very hard. Is this a fuse?

Check the wires from the battery to the fuse box and also the ground cable and fuses

Any lights at all? Battery cell died or main fuse in engine bay.

Thanks for the reply. I just went out and it started right up. Not sure if that is good or bad. Maybe it was the cold.

CLean your battery cables. They are probably corroded. Mine did the same thing

Yes, clean all battery positive and ground connections.
Grey metal is not clean electrical connection. Make sure you have shiny bare metal contacting shiny bare metal.
On Body/Fender ground sand down to bare metal so terminal lug rings touch bare metal of body. I coat parts with di-electric (100% silicone) grease then e-install. Tighten well to squeeze grease out of interface. Remaining grease on exposed surfaces will help prevent further corrosion.
On engine ground, ensure you have bare metal exposed, too.

If you want us to help from afar please let us see, hear, feel what you're dealing with.
A picture paints a thousand words.
Toyota components are bullet-proof. Issues often arise from poor wiring, assembly and/or maintenance. Suspect those first.
Next only to our senses, the multi-meter is the most important electrical diagnostic tool. Spend $6 at Harbor Freight or $$$ blindly replacing parts.
