As soon as they took it off the toe Truck 3 miles away and started right up again. It happened again two days ago and I let it cool off for 15 minutes and it started up so I assume this is a heat thing. Today however it happened and I'm let it sit for several hours now and it still will not turn.

Again it is NOT the battery. It is NOT the battery cables for connection to the terminals. There are no sounds or clicking noises whatsoever. This has only happened when the engine is warm so far. Actually hot. But the strange thing is that this time he engine is cooled off to the touch and still the problem persists. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? I really haven't. I guess you could go down the heat soak to the starter road but I'm sure that's not yet. He's so at the solenoid but again it's cold now so that doesn't seem like it would be the cause. Ignition switch? I guess perhaps but what would the temperature of the engine have to do with that? Neutral safety switch? I guess it could be but I've tried jiggling the shifter trying to start it in neutral everything under the sun that doesn't seem to be. I'm stumped

Stranded over an hour from my house waiting for AAA now. Second tow in one week. I'm going to have to figure this out thanks for any help you can provide.
I replaced 4 starters in my 2005 V6 runner. OEM lasted 5 years. Rebuilt at top shop lasted one year. Bought a new starter - lased 4 years then failed.
Put a Quality in there now (with lifetime warrantee), and have a $67 battery in garage as a back up. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use this on my fuse and relay legs: https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-D5S-6-De...gateway&sr=8-6

Bought it after reading a long thread here about the transmission electrical connector pins corroding and breaking in place causing shifting harshness. I pulled every fuse and relay, sprayed them down and let it dry, then reinstalled.

So I took it over to a local mechanic to have new rotors and pads put on. I parked the truck gave him a key but told him that if it would not start he would have to pop the hood and tap on the EFI relay. He looked at me like I was crazy. I told him what had been going on and he said he would like that too. I came back after a couple hours and the job was done. He also handed me a little white I think 10-amp amp standard plug-in fuse that hat corrosion on both legs. It hadnot popped it just looked like it had seen better days. He said he replaced it no charge and thinks that might be my problem. Well, that was a month ago and since that time I have not had one issue. That was 100% for sure the problem. Simple $0.05 fuse. I really don't even know which one it was to be honest. It was one of the fuses inside the same fuse box where the EFI relay is housed.
white fuse in fusebox is the jumper fuse, that gives power to all the fuses.
10 amp fuses are red in color.
25amp fuse is close to clear, 20amp is yellow.
i would take all the fuses out and inspect it really good.

Hi riceandpho,

I'm having similar issues to the OP and was wondering if you would mind clarifying your comment: "white fuse in fusebox is the jumper fuse, that gives power to all the fuses."

Where exactly is that jumper fuse?

Can you point it out from this site:

But is that even a fuse? It doesn't show any amp value.

i was about to comment to change the fuses, i had replaced my whole engine and got the same thing no start, noise, click, nada. took me two days and i even called someone out to diagnose. said it was the ECU. my friend happen to come over that night started messing with the fuses, noticed the ECU one was a little corrodded, swapped it out and boom turned on like a charm. so even those little tiny fuses can cause issues if their dirty.

It's a jumper, makes a connection, not designed to blow. The Deoxit linked above is supposed to be good stuff, vintage electronics guys love it, or just clean anything suspect with steel wool and coat with dielectric grease on a qtip

My 2 cents FWIW since these same exact symptoms happened to me recently. Turned the key and everything looked normal but crickets. OP said his battery was fine, maybe so. My truck would start with a jump but die immediately until I finally thought to give it some gas right at startup. That kept it running long enough to drive home. Long story short, alternator was bad and the battery tested so low that the dealer checked to be sure their tester was working right. New alt and battery fixed the problem.

Obviously, electrical problems can be abundant, but good info here. Thanks to all who contributed.

the short pin for the fuse box is a good place to remove for any work done to the truck that needs the battery disconnected, if you know what your doing, you don't need to disconnect the battery, but also verify that the short pin fuse really disconnect the power. I think you still get power to alternator and starter.

when replacing the starter and alternator, its good practice to remove the battery from the truck, you'll get more room and know that you don't have power to the truck.

anyone want to remove the short pin to verify? i got too much electronics to program again. at least my radio save my eq settings.
