Hi, i noticed that alot of you have had the same issue with your starters as i am! My wife has a 2000 4 runner that recently decided to be a pain in my a**! apparently she goes to turn the key over and either it clicks or doesn't do anything! i took the starter out and cleaned it because it was full of mud from all the offroad excursions we go on. My wife loves to play in mud! but that only helped for a month, then we were helping some friends and tried to go home and it wouldnt start! i had to tow it home with my 88 landcruiser and found out the battery was completely shot! 80 dollars later it was starting ok but it sounded rough when it started, and it started doing it again, so now im gonna try to replace the contacts and hopefully that fixes the problem! because we are exploring a new trail tomarrow! Wish me luck!:mad:
 
Yeah, I'd say contacts are your problem. Too bad you didn't replace them when you had it out. The contacts are really cheap, so start with that. Hopefully, that will resolve your problem.

And tell your wife to stay out of the mud!! :D
