Did you measure 12v on the terminal on the starter?

There is also a smaller cable that should connect to the starter...
Is that connected?

Cheers,
Roy

just seems like, no power is being sent to the starter, even bought new battery, doesn't even turnover. Its like powershortage, i also doubt that its the starter relay wire, i highly doubt it. Right now the car is on sale.

If you are willing to pay labor, then why are you asking for free help?

I think he's asking someone from SM to come help, he'd rather pay them than a mechanic

 

[Nick M]

Yeah, because this forum is full of Toyota experts.

YOU KNOW DAMN RIGHT!:naughty:

Lmao.

I too am confused. If he's willing to pay why not just have a local tech look at it? Couldn't cost much. Based on the description it has to be a relatively simple problem.

Instead of picking you apart like everyone else....

Just answer some BASIC questions

1. Does it click at all when you turn the key?

2. Did this happen gradually or was it a night and day change that it just stopped trying to turn over.

3. Have you checked ALL of your fuses?

4. Have you tried disconnecting and reconnecting the negative and positive power terminals on the starter itself?

atleast TRY to answer these questions and maybe you wont get so much flak from the old school guys.

Well if he doesnt know much about the car, a mechanic could rip him off.
I guess he feels more comfortable to pay a knowledgeable SM member to help him out and plus he makes a new friend from here who could help him in the future. A mechanic wont do that.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe some of the more experienced and knowledgable Supramania members are/were automotive technicians?

People...

if its not fuses then the starter is bad

 

[90Turbo7M]

trust me, ive tried what you've all tried. DC positive and negative, check the starter 100xs, turned the key, heard some clicking from the center of the engine, but i doubt that its the starter because no clicks from where the starter is. All the lights come on, all fuses checked and changed out the blown ones and basically there is one last thing i didn't check, the starter relay, but under the kickpanel, that white box was never opened and so i doubt it could be that. just remember, this car is being sold and so... i feel really sad but i have school coming up and we are moving and so, it would cost too much to move it here and there.
