Hi,

When you start the vehicle try to step on the brake pedal then try to shift it to drive or park.

2004 Toyota Sienna. I replaced the starter, but still won't start, HELP!

Question edited for clarity, so few words, so many mistakes! Add Maker and it's a Sienna not a Sienne.

When you changed the starter, did you disconnect the battery? And if you did did you reset the security system and engine Immobilizer?

2004 Toyota Sienna. Replaced dead battery. Now I cannot shift out of Park into any other gear and my brake/stop lights are not working. Is it possibly a fuse? If so which one?

with what another dead battery? LOL
wow, when did it last run last week, 3 years ago?
what is mileage, 50k 500k?
engine run"? ok, my guess, is yes.
does head lights work with full brightness>? and fan blower on?
my guess, is yes.
how are my guesses doing?
  1. :is battery charged to 12.6vdc , rested? this be FIRST.
  2. the brake lights do in fact activate , park lockout on all a/t cars.
  3. so fix brakes first. yes, fuse, and is marked brake.
  4. did you read the operators guide, see the fuse boxes, and all are marked? see the number of boxes in car, as many as 3 ?
  5. if the fuse is good, key on, 12vdc on both sides , we then check for 12vdc to the brake switch, ok its good, now brake pressed key on, the switch output goes to 12vdc and all brakes glows.
  6. of 0v now, the switch is bad,if 6vdc its a shorted line, you do know that brake lamps do short ,right, so replace them is 1 time easy fast fix. FOR SURE.

the operators guides of most cars cover fuses. this is like automatic check we do on all cars made, my hand lurches to glove box.
the guide is free for 10 + years. if lost,its free online at
drum roll, toyota.com
