What is your question?
We recently went in for scheduled check-up/maintenance. We were told that the battery did not pass. That was about a month ago, there have been only limited problems in that regard since. Then just Tues. night it simply would not start after only several minutes. We simply figured the battery had died, the next morning it started, we drove it home used it for the morning. It died within hours though. Friday morning we replaced battery, my wife said that prior to removing the old one it had power to do everything except turn it over. My son replaced the battery earlier today. Everything has power just like with the old battery, except full power now. It simply won't turn over. It sounds like it gets to the alternator then goes no further. We get no codes at all. and at the moment i'm assuming that where i hear and feel the clicking as it tries to turn over, it just does not do so. I will check to be sure. Her daddy was a Toyota Master Tech. and she has serious concerns regarding the ones here at the dealership due to what seem to be questionable or simply bonehead Techs. Other problems and fixes just seem pretty slipshod. This though i'd like to take care of so i know it's right and to see if things they say are not quite right really are'nt. They say tires are good and they are not, we had new front brakes done there tis summer. They already make the same grumbling they said were bad six months ago.

This sounds like an immobilizer issue, and the key needs to be relearned (google key relearn procedure 2005 sienna for good videos). As for the brakes. Sienna's are known for brake pad wear. I've seen them go in as little as 15,000 miles. I would definitely have them inspected for brake line or caliper failure, and make sure to replace the rotors as part of your service. See below for trusted facilities in your area that will give you an honest recommendation. http://repairpal.com/toyota-within-10-miles-of-roswell-new-mexico-88203
