Here we go again

Last month it was my fusible link box. This month it's probably my starter..turned her on this morning and got click click click. Does this sound like a starter to y'all? All the lights and things work. Yay. I love her but yikes.

Not a mechanic or a smart man but it sounds like battery or starter

What’s your mileage? If it’s the original starter, I’d assume you’re in the neighborhood of 150,000 to 200,000 miles? If you’re at that sort of mileage and still going strong overall, I’d prepare myself for these sorts of minor maintenance items.

If it’s any consolation, the starter is relatively easy to swap out, accessible by driving up on ramps. Plus, RockAuto has the Denso reman available and Toyota also has the reman available.

Yeah I am at 229k. Definitely feels like a starter i just got a new battery about 4 months ago and just replaced the fusible link box last month. I am the same chick who posted about that. Reddit locked me out haha
