I've had an 88, 90, and 91 & all did this. And we generally just had the starter replaced Now the 99 is doing it.
Does Toyota have any unpublished recalls concerning defective starter systems?
Is replacing the starter the only thing to do?
I noticed this today:
- It didn't start right away, so I turned the key several times & it finally started.
- After it started, I turned the headlight switch off. The headlights stayed on, and they should, but were noticably dimmer.
- I turned the car off & restarted it. This time the lights were as bright as they should be.
What would this tell you? Battery? Wiring? Relay?
TIA,
Collin
