    Default 2009 Tundra Not Starting

    Battery is good, have power inside the vehicle (courtesy lights, instrument cluster, head lights). Turn the ignition and all I get is a loud click. Bad starter? All fuses look good as well.

    About 2 years. Had that checked already at two different places just to be sure. That was my first thought.

    About the only thing we have done to the Tundra 5.7’s are a few starters and cam towers leaking oil.
