Just one click sound when ignition is turned. Have replaced battery and it is fueling lights, radio, etc. But there is no sound other than the one click when I try to start the engine.
This happened suddenly - hadn't been having any problem starting.
Can't start the vehicle to take it for diagnostics.
Sound like the starter or alternater or what? Thanks!

The 4runner is an automatic - there is no clutch pedal.

Hello
Thanks for the donation.

It sounds like you have a faulty starter or starter relay.

You can test your starter on car by first testing the starter relay by doing the following procedures:
