    Check your batteries. Maybe the wires in the terminals just came off. If that still doesnt work out for you. Try looking at the alternator. But you should really get a pro.

    heropopo,
    try mong tingnan yung mga relays mo, baka maluluwag na sila sa kanilang socket. nakalog sila after ng humps eh.

    heropops,
    if i were you, check the basics first. with this symptom, i would check the battery terminals first. these are supposed to have been checked everytime you do a preventive maintenance checks and services as what is termed in the pilipins as pre-menstrual syndrome or pms. these terminals are supposed to have been cleaned and checked for voltage drops across the battery posts and the cable ends or clamps. this should not exceed 0.1 volts across each connection by standards. then after cleaning them, seal them with battery terminal sealer or the most common is the petroleum jelly or vaseline on top of the terminals where they meet with the battery posts to seal off oxygen from the ambient air that accelerates the corrosion from the battery electolyte. then, on toyotas, check AM1 and AM2 pacific fuse( usually pinkish). these are higher amperage rating fuses right next to the cable clamps on the positive side(no fuses on the negative side, hahahaha). check these for tightness and corrosion. if you see some corrosion, you can use simpel grin multi purpose cleaner on the terminals and be careful not to introduce the slightest trace of this concoction into the battery. it kills the battery in two hours. in the absence of simple green, you can use Coke or Seven Up, the carbon dioxide in them removes the corrosion. just rinse with plain water or the ants will attack your battery. then the petroleum jelly thingy or the vaseline thingy thang to prevent further corrosion. the weakest part that usually cause this symptom is not the grounding(except the battery post of the negative side which is closest to corrosives) but the positive side. any more questions?
