2006 Sequioa Starting Problem

[foak]

Well, my 06' Sequioa has 39k miles on it & is out of warranty....

The problem has happened twice now just recently.

I go to start it & click...click....click...click......nothing......b attery is fully charged ( green eye on battery ).....I have strong [COLOR=#ff4400! important][COLOR=#ff4400! important]headlights[/COLOR][/COLOR] which indicates the battery is strong. Battery cables are tight with no corrosion on them... I check the battery with hand held voltmeter & have 13-14 volts.

Voltmeter on [COLOR=#ff4400! important][COLOR=#ff4400! important]car[/COLOR][/COLOR] severely discharges ( pegs downward ) as I turn the key to start..... This may happen about 6 to 10 times.......and then I try once more & it starts.......so it is an intermittent problem it sounds like.....Oh ****....

This has happened twice now within the last 3 days....Trying to troubleshoot without going to the [COLOR=#ff4400! important][COLOR=#ff4400! important]dealer[/COLOR][/COLOR]...

Could this be a potential starter or solenoid problem....????? Any suggestions ???

I really appreciate anyone's professional knowledge....

same thing happened on my 01 with 75k....new starter solved the problem...I guess it's the one issue with lower miles example....too many starts...hope this helps, Peter
