Hi folks --
I have a 2011 LX with 150k miles on the clock. Starter is original.
Never had any issues until tonight. Here's what happened...
It is time to replace the starter? If so, what's the current wisdom on which one to buy and how to go about it? (I'm busy and so will be asking my Toyota indie to do the job.)
Thx!
Charley
I have a 2011 LX with 150k miles on the clock. Starter is original.
Never had any issues until tonight. Here's what happened...
- Tried to start and nothing happened (maybe some clicking?)
- Pressed start again and didn't start
- Pressed start again and heard clicking
- Turned vehicle off and waited 30 seconds
- Pressed start and the starter turned over ... but for significantly longer than normal ... and then the engine started
- Drove the car later in the evening and it started up fine/normally several times after that
It is time to replace the starter? If so, what's the current wisdom on which one to buy and how to go about it? (I'm busy and so will be asking my Toyota indie to do the job.)
Thx!
