2006 Toyota solara won't start it will turn on all my lights and everything but it makes no noise when it tries to start

Hi - I am Dave, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010. If your vehicle eventually responds after "messing with your battery for a while" - it does sound like a cable connection issue is possible. Check and secure all cables and connections. Make sure to test your battery for state of charge and the ability to sustain a load. Hands on testing of the electrical - starting and charging system - is needed. https://repairpal.com/auto-repair-near-me Click the link or call us at 877-913-1554.
