My 2007 Tundra 5.7L 4x4 Crewmax Supercharged with 123K miles won't crank.
First thing I noticed was when I went to pick my daughter up from day care the other day I turned the ignition and the dash lit up but it didn't turn over. I turned the key off and tried again and it started right up.
The next morning it wouldn't start at all. The dash lights up and I can hear a single click that sounds louder than a relay to me. I've left it on the battery charger for a full day and tested the voltage at the battery and the cables, which is above 12V. The battery is less than two years old and is an Optima red top, which has never shown any signs of weakness.
Does it sound like a bad starter, cable, or relay to you guys? I've replaced starters on inboard boat motors many times, but usually you get more than just a click when they go out. I can do the basic trouble shooting including the relay and cables at the starter, but I've been sick and it's been raining here so haven't had a chance yet. Just thought I'd get your opinion to see if I should go ahead and order a new starter from Rock Auto and get it on it's way here. It's my daily driver, but I have my mustang I can drive while the truck is down. I would like to get it going pretty quick though. From what I've read though, it's a pretty difficult job on this truck due to the starter being located under the exhaust manifold and wrapped in heat shielding.
