• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Had this to happen to me past weekend. Tried to push start/stop with foot on brake and the instrument display lights up like nothing is wrong but there is no turning of the starter. Tried several times including using the remote start on flob but no go. Waited 30 minutes and it crank right up. Also, I keep my battery on a tender so it was not a low battery voltage issue.
 
Worrisome for sure but curious as to why you keep your battery on a tender . . .

Because it sits for weeks without being driven. Travel for a living gone for weeks at a time. The electronics will cause a slow drain on battery when parked.
 
I noticed with my older toyota using the battery tender will throw a ECU error code after the first start. Maybe it is possible when leaving plugged into the charger for too long funny things can happen on the first start until battery level returns to normal operating voltage? I have the Deltran 800mA version btw.
