Starting trouble

I have a 2016 Tacoma. I recently drove it, now it won’t start. It makes a clicking sound for about 30 seconds but won’t turn over.
I tried jumping it twice without success.
Any suggestions ?

 

Try a new battery

The stock batteries have been known to shit the bed even within a year.

 

Sounds like a bad starter

 

Sounds like a warranty issue.

 

+1 for battery.

 

It sounds battery related.... might just be a bad connection. I had to put some of that terminal post goop on mine as I kept getting corrosion on one of my cables.... I'd check to see that I had a good connection at both ends of the positive and negative battery cables.

 

Clicking and no start generally means your battery is flat.

Try jumping it to see if that is the case.

 

Thanks guys.
I tried jumping it for a 3rd time and boom she fired up.
Think I’ll upgrade the battery tho.

 

Check your battery and the connections.

 

You dont need a upgraded battery,get a Walmart or Autozone battery with a 5 year warranty.

 

I'd look into the battery connections.... both ends.

 

I never had battery trouble, but at my first 5000mi check the dealer put purple goop on my terminals. Mabye this helped or maybe it kept the acid at bay - but again no battery issues even in the VERY VERY cold at 28000mi and ~almost 2 year old

 

Check battery connections for corrosion, then take the truck to autozone to get the battery tested.

 

My battery just died last week too. Bought the truck in April 2016. It clicked like yours but I had no problem jumping it.

 

Hopefully just a bad battery, should be covered under Warranty

 

Update, upon further examination I found the battery was leaking fluid from the corner of the negative terminal.
So I just picked up a new one from Napa auto.
Starts every time no more issues.
Thanks guys.

 

Can you check your voltage on battery?

 

Not anymore had to give it to Napa auto for the core charge.

 

Spray some Fluid film on the terminals after hooking up the battery. It’ll stop any corrosion.

 

If you have under 36k miles you can submit your receipt for the battery to Toyota and you will get reimbursed
