2011 Tacoma 170k miles this is my brother's truck. just trying to help him out. so any suggestion would be appreciated

replaced the starter
switched starter relay with the horn relay to test the starter. same no crank no click
checked cranked shaft to see if the motor was seized. moves with breaker bar
anti-theft is off
check codes no codes
i jump the truck nothing i switched the battery with another but nothing

going to buy a multimeter later to see if the starter is getting any power when i turn the key.
but if anyone had a similar problem lmk please or any suggestions, please

 

Welcome to TW...
Do you have voltage at the starter?..do you have voltage to the soleniod when switch is turned?

 

Start here.
This should help walk you throughout the starting circuit.

Welcome to TacomaWorld
Same year and milage as mine

Did you try something simple mybe a fuse?

Sometimes simple things are overlooked
With everything else that you should have tried it almost seems like the starters just taking a shit or it seized could try hitting it with a hammer a couple times

 

checked am1 am2 and the starter relay
They all good. Thanks but same no start ‍♂️

 

Checked all fuses and same thing

 

Thanks just checked it. And no power going to the starter. Could it be the ignition switch?

 

Idk if this is right. I clipped to solenoid and the probe into the small thing ‍♂️. Sorry I’m not a mechanic just a diy kind of person.

 

Check at the STA Relay and see what's missing, it would be best to use a test light:

Pin 1 should have power with the key in the crank position.
Pin 2 should be constant ground.
Pin 3 goes to the starter, you can jump power to here and see if the engine cranks (be sure the transmission is in park or neutral).
Pin 5 should have power with the key in the crank position.

 

So when you turn the ignition switch to start the test light doesn’t lite up?

 

No light.

 

How are you testing?
I see a jumper wire in pin 5 and your test light is in pin 3?

 

And this is an automatic trans…

 

Sorry pin 5 to 3. Lights up now because plugged the starter back.
But no light from 1-2

 

Yes. We tried to start in in neural and no start

 

Will it crank if you jump pins 3 and 5 together and turn the key to crank with the starter plugged in?

 

No it will not crank
I appreciate all ur help

 

What if you jump power directly to pin 3 does it crank?

 

So if pin 5 is connected to 3 ..do you have power to the starter when the switch is turned?

 

Yes there’s power from pin 3-5 when u turn on ignition
