My 1998 Toyota Camry sometimes doesn`t start. It`s more often than not when it`s very cold outside and I haven`t used the car in a few days. To me that would mean a battery but I just changed it (it was old anyway) and it`s still not starting every time. When I turn the key there`s a single click, and when I release the key there`s another click. No other noise in between the two. My roommate just changed the part of the starter that is not connected to the solenoid and it didn`t help. I`m wondering if the problem is in the contacts or if there`s another reason for this to happen. Once the car starts it`s totally fine until it gets turned off again.
Thanks
I just changed the battery to a brand new one within the past week and it is still doing it.
I took the car to the mechanic and (being a girl) they tried to screw me over on pricing. $650 for replacing the starter!!! A brand new Toyota starter from NAPA auto parts is less than $200 with a lifetime warranty. So I honestly don't trust them to tell me the truth if it's a quick fix, they just want money.
