Pulled engine won't start

[mforce]

Starter was bad they tested it twice for us. We put on the new starter and guess what????? NOTHING! Still no start with it.

Do you get a click at all when trying to turn it over?

No click... nothing but what we had before. Dash lights, wipers everything like that. But the dash red factory security light stopped blinking. Even though it dont seem security when I can lock the door reach in and open with no alarm going off. Lol more like a keyless lock.

Try taking a wire from the battery positive and running it to the plug on the starter. This will bypass the starter relay, the relay wiring and everything. This will bypass all things that could be stopping the start from turning over regardless if the key is in the ignition.

I'm starting to think this may be a security system issue. Could be that your alarm siren no longer functions, so you're not hearing it go off.

I think it’s linked to security. It’s a rss-210 Toyota key fob that we use. I’m hunting everywhere for a test button, the panic button on remote works! Lol we tried it then climbed in to start it after we turned it off. No click no sound!

It may be linked to security. The bypass trick I mentioned in my last post should at least isolate it to that. If you bypass the starter relay with a wire it should try to turn over. This will confirm that something upstream of the starter wire is the issue. I don't have a wiring diagram of the factory security system unfortunately, nor does the rig I drive have one. Just the simple remote lock/unlock fob (with rear window roll down and red panic button).

That is all my key fob is "unlock,lock, rear window roll down, then red panic button on the back of the fob". My key fob on the back is RSS-210. So I am not sure its a security type system. I did the wire from starter to hot on battery terminal before and it did not work. Do I need to remove the wire on the starter that has a nut on it then attach it or can I just leave the starter wired?

Went back through every fuse AGAIN... blown 7.5 amp fuse under dash. Swapped the fuse, bumped the key, she fired right up. Praise God! Thank you for all the advise. Now to make sure all system check out! Will give final update after I pull it out of garage.

Nice! Figured it had to be something simple like that! Cheers! :cheers:

What fuse did it end up being?

I would bet its the 7.5 ignition, mine blew when trying to deal with the aftermarket alarm in my 4R, ended up leaving it for now :shrug:

glad you got this figured out! i know how frustrating it is to have a swap not start
