thanks scotty i tried what you said but it still wont turn over. when i turn the key into ignition theres no cranking sound what so ever. i can just hear the battery hum. and the check engine and check oil lights are on. i checked the fuses but they all seem to be okay and theres still plenty of juice in the battery.

The hum may be the starter solenoid being energized, but not having enough juice to actually spin the starter. Either try measuring the battery voltage while attempting to crank (if the battery is low/bad it will drop below 9 Volts) or just try jump starting it with another car.

Check the battery connections and the condition of the poles. They may have been jarred enough to loosen up or even (unlikely) break a pole loose.

That hum sounds like a weak battery like CTScott said. Most car parts places will check your battery for free.

hey guys!! thanks a lot for all your suggestions. but i tried jump starting the car, checking the fuses and everything but it still doesnt wanna start. theres no cranking sound from the starter motor when i turn on the engine. i kinda hit the right front side of the yaris and the radiator was bent in by like 10 cms. I still got no idea of how i can get the old girl running again. when i start the key the check engine, check oil and battery lights stay on. I also tried a scantool on it but theres no codes. thanks in advance!

The lights stay on until the ECM gets the "start" input. If you have a multimeter, the next thing to do is to start following the flow of current to see where it stops.

First: At the ignition switch connector, measure the voltage on the gray wire (with the ignition off)
