I was driving my 93' 4runner last week and it completely shut off on me. I got out and pushed, luckely I was 3 houses from my girlfriends. So I put it in park and I wasn't getting any power. Had to undo transmission linkage to put it in neutral to move it. I cut back the cable running from the postive battery terminal to the fuse box and put on a new eye hole. Started up just fine.

Went back the next day to move it, so I put the linkage back together, and with full power to all accesories and lights, it wouldn't start. All I got was a clicking sound.

I got a brand new battery, got that checked, new starter, new starter relay, new ALT fuse, and new battery terminals. Still no start, still the click. I tested my pos. connection at starter and I was getting full voltage. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

 

Just a guess but you never said what if anything you did to your ground cables. I say bad ground connection.

What kind of new battery terminals did you put on??

just curious you didn`t disconnect or have a poor connection on the wire that pulls in the starter solenoid coil.

 

The ground from the battery to the fender well? I replaced that about a year ago. It looks fine.
I just put standard terminals on. Nothing fancy.
Which fuse is that comming from? and how would you replace that wire?

 

Fixed it today! Woohoo!

 

Be nice to know just what you fixed????

 

When I undid the linkage I must not of put it back together right. I undid it again put it in neutral and it started right up.
