Got a No Crank issue ... (1 Viewer)

[cwmoser]

2004 Land Cruiser, will not crank.
Battery good, horn blows, no sound from Starter Motor at all.
Tried shifting in and out of Park, then Neutral, still no sound from Starter Motor.
Before we have it towed to a shop to replace the Starter Motor I have a few questions:
- is there a Fuse or Circuit Breaker?
- got any tips on getting it to start - in the old days we simply tapped on the Selenoid and Starter motor gently with a hammer?
- any suggestions as to how much to replace the Starter Motor?
- any other tips?

Search "starter replacement", limit to titles only, 100 section only, dozens of threads to review. Even saw a few directly titled "cost to replace starter at dealer".

There is a fuse (AM2) for all ignition. Check the fusible link next to the battery.

That 2004 LC is in Charlotte about 80 miles away at the moment.
Just wondering, is it possible one of these could cause a No Crank issue but allow Horn and Headlights to work?
This is a photo of my my 2002 LX. I'll go to Charlotte tomorrow to check it out.

Is this the AM2 fuse you mentioned?

It is possible since there are about 5 branches of link inside the black box. I am not in front of my computer with wiring diagram so I can't confirm the answer for you.

The AM2 is inside fuse box behind the battery.

Fusible link for 2004 is different from what you showed.

The problem could be loose connections, bad connections due to corrosion, or low battery charge. It could be bad starter too but I know it has low miles.
