Hey y’all first time posting, but active user of mud and yes I’ve searched and read through every post with this issue.
2000 LC 375k miles
Okay so here’s the full details
A few months ago I started having issues getting it to crank, it would click, and no start. It would randomly crank after turning the key a dozen times or so but got to where it wouldn’t start. Tested the relay it was good so I ordered a starter. I replaced the starter, cleaned leads and ground, also did valve cover gaskets, heater tee’s, intake manifold gaskets, tbody gasket, temperature sensor/sender and a few cracked vacuum lines. After all that went to start it and still just get the click. Replaced relay with OEM and still get the click. It starts prefectly fine jumping the relay with a wire. Security light is not flashing with key in. Checked every fuse and swapped starter 30a fuse from my 3rd gen 4runner still just clicks. Tested relay with volt/ohm meter everything is good. Fuse and relay slot also checked good so they are getting sufficient volts. Battery is healthy and also tried a jump box just in case.
I’m stumped at this point and can’t find anything else anywhere. Anybody have any other ideas before I give in and take a vehicle to the shop first the first time? Thanks in advance, pic of the LC cuz I think it’s neat
