Yeah clean all your contacts with ketchup an coat with diletic grease. The ground strap goes from battery to engine block corner of mount. An positive side of battery post to starter. There's a single wire little wire that can be disconnected an manually jumped just make sure key is in on postion an touch positive post with jumper wire from solid the little jump wire. If it works when hit wit rod an hammer its the contacts on starter. Dont mess with rebuilding just use a reman denso Brand an call it a day. You have the money replace the butt ring on back cylinder you have all the money replace the key also complete cylinder they get worn an key stuck or won't turn. I can post some pics

Yeh but $5.99.... I know the contacts should be just copper, maybe there copper coated. ...

Or they could be aluminum or lead or,,,, but have never seen it. The generic ones that we have installed have all been copper-ish looking metal that have worked well. Some are not shaped exactly like factory, so slightly less surface area, maybe slightly less life. They are just contacts, consumable in nature, all of them are going to wear out.

Jay consider upgrading your phone, it doesn't appear to do a great job of transferring your thoughts to text?

I've decided to do the rebuild using OEM parts. There's too much controversy with all the other replacement parts and I believe Toyota parts are the best for this application. I should have the parts on Monday. Looking forward to opening this baby up and hopefully putting this problem to rest!

Well I rebuilt my starter solenoid yesterday. I spent more time removing the starter than anything else. I felt like Jacob wrestling with God on this one for sure! Rebuilding the solenoid was definitely the easy part. In fact I felt like I was taking a half time break in the middle of the game. Putting the starter back in was no picnic either but much quicker than taking it out. 290k has a way of making everything much harder. I really don't want to ever pull this starter again! Oh, the clicking is gone and my truck starts every time now.
