update: took the starter off, removed the plunger and contacts, cleaned them up really good with a wire brush! Blew out the compartment and cleaned it with Qtips and put it all back together... Re-installed the starter and the 4-runner came back to life!!! Thanks for all y'all's help!!! :cheers:

keyless entry? what ever comes with it? not really sure about a security light, id have to look when i get home.. So cleaning the solenoid contacts may solve the issue? I called and check on a price for a new starter solenoid and its more than a starter and have to order from factory.

My dad and his buddies are all shade tree mechanics and were all coming to the same thing, its the starter.. Think I'll stop on way home from work and pick one up.. Just wondering if i was missing something. thanks

Yes I have tried jumping it and no there is not an aftermarket alarm. It has the one from factory.. Im still thinking its the starter.. will a starter be bad and fail a test at parts store 3x?

Any help would be much appreciated, first post here.. My wife's 06 4-Runner, v6 sr5, will not start, just clicks one time and that is all. Everything else is working. So far I have, cleaned the battery terminals and checked the cables. Checked the ground strap for proper connection Battery...
