90 Pickup Starter - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

my 90 yota pickup has a really messed up starter. it works MOST of the time. but every once in a while it wont. i will turn the key and it just clicks, as if the battery was just dead or something. but this is the wierd part. all i have to do to get it to work again is tap on it 2 or 3 times with a hammer. when i say tap i mean tap, not hit or anything, just a nice little tap. does anyone have any idea what it could be??? the guy that owned it before me said that he had a different starter that did the same thing. could it be the electrical into it?? thanks guys

Whether your starter uses two rectangular types or one rectangular and one crescent you can substitute with two squares or one square and one crescent so any of the above part #'s for those kits will be the right ones,or about half of the auto electric shops in your local yellow pages would sell aftermarket contacts for only $5 each or the pair.

If the brake and charge lights come on during revving of the engine then it's a sign that the carbon alternator brushes require replacing as this is the mileage for them to wear out. In alternators the brushes wear out on average every 140-170 000 miles where on the dashboard the brake & charge light both come on at the same time. About half of the auto electric shops in your local yellow pages sell carbon alternator brushes and copper solenoid starter contacts for about $5/pair.Another way to verify that the alternator is not charging is while the engine is running bring a metal screwdriver or any metal object near the alternator and if the alternator is working properly then it should act like a magnet and grab the screwdriver.
