    I have a 95 Toyota with the 3.0 V6 that won't start. When I turn the key it just makes a clicking noise and does nothing. Checked all connections that I know of and battery is good. It doesn't make a content click just one click when key is first turned. I'm assuming I just need to go ahead and change the starter but wanted to see of any of y'all had any ideas or things to check before I change the starter. Thanks for any input.

    Thanks for the replies but I've figured it out. I was about to pull the starter and decided to check the wires and relays again. I pulled the tape off the main wire going into the fuse box under the good and noticed it was corroded around a connection. I cut the corrosion off add a fresh wire and started up perfect. I would've been pissed of I woulda changed the starter or even pulled it off and that not be the problem. Thanks again
