★ Top Answer
The primary reason why your Toyota Tundra only makes a clicking noise when attempting to start is likely due to a drained battery. Leaving the interior or exterior lights on is a common mistake that can lead to a dead battery. The fastest solution for a dead battery is to jump-start it with help from someone else and ensure you drive the truck for around 20-30 minutes before switching it off, allowing it enough time to fully recharge. In more severe cases, a faulty alternator could be the issue, causing you to become stranded. The alternator is responsible for charging your battery while driving, and if this is the problem, you will need to have it replaced by your local dealership or mechanic.
