now the new starter wont even click....
this 4runner is about to make a trip to the junk yard

Aaaw, crap. Check your wiring again? Solenoid wire come loose?

 

[jakejjs]

no loose wires. took em all off and put em all back on. not gonna deal with it tonight though. too tired

 

[IronNam]

make sure the Starter relay is not blown? iono

 

[ohgood]

pull both your battery terminals. THEN check the battery at autozone under load.

check your battery terminals AND the leads all the way to the starter/ ground.

corrosion can get under the insulation (like mine did) and kill a cable, making it seem like the battery/starter has died.

good luck man.

 

[IronNam]

did you play the radio too long?

i guess taking the battery to Autozone could help you

 

[89hilux]

Maybe the battery. This happened to me and when I took it to Pepboys they recharged it for 2 hours and after that battery was still at 75%. Hopefully, thats the issue with yours. It sucks leaving the radio or dome light on coz if your battery is already weak to begin with, rest assured the next day its drained.

so here's what happened....

i got mad and threw a wrench at the motor...well somehow, it hit the battery perfectly to touch pos and neg and send sparks all over....

now she runs fine

 

[89hilux]

Wow! I wish I could throw a wrench on mine and it would run like a V8 after. hehe.

 

[Vicoor]

arc welding?

sparks are cool,,, Heh....heh,heh

Make sure the battery terminals are tight and do not move when tight. Sometimes they can stretch and cause a huge voltage drop because of a bad connection, or may not allow any current to flow at all. Hope there are no further problems.

If the starter is ever suspect, and will not turn engine check the "S" terminal on the starter solenoid for proper voltage while turning key to the start possition. If there is good, near battery voltage check for available voltage at the "B" terminal on the solenoid while starting. You should see battery voltage, if not there is a large voltage drop in this wire most likely due to corrosion and needs to be replaced.

The point is anger solved a problem, if only my truck would behave the same way.:thumbup:-to Jake :thumbdown To my truck not responding to anger

 

[jakejjs]

:thumbdown To my truck not responding to anger

:lol:

Next time my truck acts up I am going to give it a swift kick in the oil pan!
