My truck has been having a delayed start for the past 6 months or so. I turn the key and there is about a 1 second delay and then the starter kicks in. Well, it is starting to get a little cold here and the past two mornings it has taken me about 45 minutes to get this beast started (2000 Tundra AC 4x4 V8 135k miles). I turn the key and I hear the click, which I believe to be the relay. After about 50 trys it starts up. I am thinking that it is temperature related (in addition to being well worn). Perhaped the contacts have contracted like frightened turtles due to the cold? I cleaned the battery posts firstly, but that did not help the situation at all. So, tonight, I will pick up new contacts from the stealership and give the whole thing a go. I am planning on reusing the gaskets as I recall Mustang mentioning that is what he would do and he seems to be quite the expert. I will let you know how it turns out!
