Got a lexus is 350 2006 . Car wont start makes a clicking and loud noise when u push the start button. Brake pedal is very hard to push. All dome lights come on but engine wont start. Brake pedal has to be pushed down for car to start but brake pedal is hard to push. Is this a starter? Blown fuse somewhere? Battery? Last night car started we changed out back tail light went to bed got up this morning now car wont start.

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if okay-check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,cap and rotor,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing
