1991 4Runner wont boost

[woodenkayaker]

boosted it yesterday, (sat for 6 months)
Boosted again this morning ran it for about 15 mins (had to get a car out of the garage it was in the way)
tried to put it back in place stalled it (my fault)
then would not boost. Nothing, not a dash light, not any indication of power whatsoever...not a click of solonoid, nor buzzer not a thing.
dead.
Fuze?

By boosted, you mean jump start? If so I'd test your battery, sounds dead beyond charge. Maybe a bad alternator.

Yea jump start...booster cables. The other day I started it from a friends truck...without the 4 runner having a battery in it. Now i managed to install a dead battery, got my booster (jumper) cables onto it and got it running for 15 mins. then I couldnt get it to start at all...even with booster cables and a dual battery setup truck for power....
usually you get a dash light, a dome light...some indication of power with cables...i got nothing at all....
thats the part i dont get. I would just go and buy a battery, but if the truck is toast there really isnt much point.

Can you still jump start without your battery?

Havent tried. I had it running with a battery after that, then wouldnt start...was afraid of trying that in case it was what hurt it in the first place....
Wouldnt think it would matter at this point. I mean there is no indication of power to any system at all, under boost from another vehicle..battery or dead battery or nothing, i should still get dash power...?
