Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Went to start my truck this morning, after not doing so for 6 days. Usually I just do the glow plugs and starts right away.
Today had a click click click sound and no action.
I am assuming the click click is the solenoid. Well I am off to check the battery and use a hammer on the starter.

Screwed up my next 2 days its a holiday here!

Might be that your starter motor is a bit dodgy.If my truck is not fully charged it will not have enough power to activate the starter solenoid. Same thing that is posibly happening to you.

Will either be flat battery or the contacts in the starter have died.

Seems one of my dual batteries was a little thirsty. They are both in parrallel but always seems to be the same one with low battery water; they are not sealed units fyi.

Any thanks for the advice and I'd better have my starter motor checked out.

My Hilux did a similar thing on a recent trip to the Cape. I had to replace the contacts on the solenoid and the auto electrician fitted better 'half moon' shaped heavy duty ones. Whilst it was out they also replaced the bearings in the starter.

Happened to me once in my GQ. There´s a solenoid before the solenoid integrated to the starter. Replaced that solenoid (the first one) and my problems were cured. Check to see if your Toyota setup is the same.
Good luck...

Before you start spending money, check all your earth leads have good clean contacts both ends - battery to chassis, battery to engine, and engine to chassis. You need to unbolt the cables & clean them up so there's no rust and a good clean metal to metal contact. It's often only good enough to let a low current through (like when you use a tester), but not enough for the full cranking current. Ask how I know? After rebuilding the starter & it still wouldn't work....

Mine did this when i went to a The Springs 4x4x Park. Had to drive back to Warwick to get a new battery into it
