Hey Mud Family,
So, it's been awhile since Ive been active on the here. But I'm hoping the forum can help me diagnose an issue I'm having with a new to me Tundra. I've never posted in the Tundra forum, years ago I was very active in the 80 series board. I've recently "adopted" my wife's 2010 Tundra 4.6 after she bought a new car. Exciting for me to have a new project, however shortly after parking the Tundy we started to have some issues, its like the rig had hurt feelings. The truck sat for about two weeks and showed signs of a dead battery, a quick jump start and a few weekend drives around town and everything was fine. I ordered up a battery tender and set it all up to keep the battery at top condition while it sits since it's not a daily anymore. About two weeks went by and earlier this week I went to start the rig and got nothing. Well I got something, listen to vid attached. I can hear what I think is the relay click (drivers side) and then a louder (ting) from the passenger side and a buzz like something is energized.
I tested the battery, I've smacked the starter, I've checked fuses... I'd hate to drop the $$$ on a starter if that's not the issue, so I'm here hoping someone with more Tundra knowledge can point me in the right direction. I did search BTW, but didn't find much aside from all the things I've already done. Good to be back on MUD, hope someone can help!
