Starter Motor

[captaincapucino]

Seems like my started motor is dying on my 2000 Land Cruiser. When I turn the key I get a click but no crank. It's not the relay or battery. Is there a way to access the starter to give it a tap to test it and hopefully get it started so i can drive it to my mechanic? TIA

You can reach in with a long steel rod between the runners of the intake plenum and tap on it.

you can get in from the passenger side of the intake fairly easily with a breaker bar pretty easily

How many miles on the rig. Do you know if it has been previously replaced.

210k miles no idea if it's been replaced or not.

Make sure you check your ground cables / battery cables before you dig too deep.
