so i just finished relpacing my buddies 3vze for him in his 95 4runner, attempted the first crank and all i heard was *click*. my first thought was the starter, but after listening and looking around i found that the starter doesnt even attempt to engage. the click is coming from starter relay:



and also this little guy here, which i think is related to the brake system:

 

any suggestions?

 

if battery is good, check grounds

 

I pulled the starter schematic for you.



Check the 80A ALT fuse in the junction block where you found the starter relay.

The relay then shunts power down through the Park/Neutral switch. Have you attempted to start in Neutral? It's a black wire w/white tracer, 12v+, going into the P/N switch, and it should be hot ONLY in crank. Assuming the switch is good, the black wire w/yellow should have 12v+ while cranking. This wire feeds the starter solenoid.

Hope that helps.

 

thanks. ill use that diagram. any other suggestions?

 

solved the problem, got the truck started last night. sounds pretty healthy. thanks for all the help to all those who posted!
