I just noticed you prefer a donation, which makes complete sense, after all, this is your time and effort, but while I realize these are just words to you, I'm actually in the negative with my bank ATT and I know you don't care to know the reason. I realize now that I may not receive an answer, but I suppose it can't hurt to just submit this, as I know miracles do happen, because I wasn't expected to survive brain cancer and I'm still here.......with all my heart, I THANK YOU!!!

After about a 45 min stop I attempted to start my 4Runner and it sounded like it was struggling to turn over, which it has never done. It has always started immediately. After this struggle, it completely died and the alarm went off. The alarm went off again when I tried to open door. About 30 to 40 min later, it did start, but during the entire 45 min drive home the horn (alarm) kept going off every 2 to 3 minutes in about 7 short beep intervals. When I arrived home, again the alarm went off when I opened door. The next morining I tried to start it and absolutely nothing, no sound at all, not even a click and the alarm continues to go off every time I open a door. Note: Eventhough I certainly don't know much about auto repair, I was thinking it might be the battery since I do have a cooler that I keep plugged into one of my outlets, as well as my phone charger. I work out of my truck, so there are many times, in order to keep my cooler on, I will keep the key in the ignition, turned to the left so the "check engine" light is NOT on. I always thought that by keeping it in this position did not run the battery much, but I suppose, as much as I've done this, it most likely will drain the battery, which is what I'm thinking Ilve done. The thing is though, the radio still works and I thought if my battery was dead, that couldn't happen, but like I said, I know nothing about repair. PLEASE HELP!!!! I'm in desparate need of advice since I've just recovred from brain surgery and finally back at work now and without my truck I cannot work. I TRULY appreciate anyone's help!!!!!
