it was the battery cable like sk suggested

well its the next day and the car started right up and it started right up all day i ran everything the heat, wipers, lights and the radio thanks to everybody that helped

everything did shut off with the jumper connected and releasing the brake did not bring the dash lights on i had disconnect the battery and the alternator to clear the short i pulled the brake fuse and got the car started again this time the car did not shut off but you can not put the car in drive with that fuse pulled i shut the car off and added a piece of ground wire from the battery to the chassis to see what would happen because SKperformance said to (change your cables from the battery to the starter main ground on the tranny and under the battery tray)after i added that wire the car started right up and did not shut off when i hit the brake i will let you know tomorrow if the car starts if it does i will change those cables

i had the same problem on 94 es 300 motor was good changed the master switch it still would not go down finally i got *BLEEP*ed and shook the window back and fourth and its been working for 3 years

i will try everything thanks for the info but why when when i hit the brake pedal everything shuts off the engine, dash lights everything

i have a 94 es 300 something is killing my battery overnight i put in a new battery in and it lasted one day i got the car to start 2 times with a power pack but both times when i hit the break the car died now when i turn the key nothing happens even with the power pack hooked up when i look at the battery with a meter and the battery cables off i get 12vlts with the cables on i get 0 vlts thanks in advance adush
