2000 Toyota Camry Starter clicks

Hi the starter has two wires on it one small one one large one. Have someone assist you turn key to start position take a test light back the small wire on the starter. Light is on yes starter is bad. If no check starter relay. Brake switch. You can run 12 volts to the small wire on the starter and if eng cranks. Will be one of the other things I mentioned. Please vote.

Did you test the battery and try a jump start?

If that is a fairly loud single clunk each time you turn the ignition switch to "crank", that is typical of worn solenoid contacts. They are normally replaced when a starter is rebuilt but the contact disc on the plunger can cause that too. Very often those do not get replaced. You can verify that by checking for voltage at two places with a test light while a helper turns the ignition switch. Measure on the large terminal on the starter. There should be full battery voltage there before the ignition switch is turned, and normally it will be dimmer, but not out, during cranking.

Next, measure on the other large bolt across from that first one where the 1" braided cable is attached. It will usually be under a soft rubber gray cover. There should be no voltage there until the ignition switch is turned, then the light should be fairly bright. If it is not, the contacts are bad.

If the test light goes out completely on the first terminal when your helper turns the ignition switch, you have a dead battery or loose or dirty battery cables.
