TLDR:wasn't the starter, just a loose electrical connection.Toyota* warrants that it will either provide a replacement part or repair any Toyota part or accessory that is defective in material or workmanship. Another shitty thing about the starter location, is that you cant run a jumper straight from the battery terminal to the positive terminal on the starter, which handicaps the troubleshooting process. The weak connection just didn't allow the power to flow at the amp level necessary to start the truck. Also, the cable powering thru the starter relay, powers everything else on that relay box, and everything else was still working. Fully charged battery and connected to a jump box, and the relay was kickin. Wrenched it down and truck fired right up.ĭid the starter even fail? Probably not. Still connected, a tight finger-tight, making good contact, but not completely pressed solid. I found that a ring terminal bolt that screws into the battery clamp connector had become ever so slightly loosened.

Jumping the relay now only gave a click as well.

And it did that without the full charge it now had. The fact that I tested it by jumping the relay and it turned the motor over, ruled out anything else BUT a weak electrical connection. Go out to start the truck, and get one loud click. I know my battery charge had gotten a bit low so before I started the truck for the first time, I put a charger on it for a couple hours. Slapped on the intake, throttle body, and finished making all connections. Made minimal connections necessary, including the battery itself, and jumped the starter relay to confirm the starter would turn over the motor. Replaced the contacts, put the starter back together, and back into the truck. The contacts were definitely worn, but not gone. When something fails, I want to find broken parts, so there's no doubt. Upon opening the starter, it didn't appear to be worn to the point of failure. Then bought a repair kit with the contacts, which are surprisingly universal for many makes and models.
TACOMA 7 PIN TRAILER PLUG HOW TO
This is not a thread on how to remove the starter so I won't go thru the process, but I did that next. However tapping the starter housing did nothing for me. Just wanted to give an update/followup post, as it drives me nuts when people leave threads like this without end you were correct about being able to put eyes on the starter.
