To quickly access the starter of a Toyota Tacoma, you can remove the driver's side wheel and the rubber splash guard in the rear of the engine bay. Behind the steering column and the exhaust manifold, you will find the starter. Over time, Tacoma starters tend to wear out from faulty contacts, and it is recommended to replace them with OEM models. An indication that your starter is failing is a no-start situation accompanied by a clicking sound, which signals that it needs to be replaced. This clicking sound indicates that the pinion gear is unable to engage with the engine's flywheel. The cost to replace the Tacoma starter typically ranges from $300 to $400 for parts and labor.
The starter in the Toyota Tacoma can be found on the left side of the vehicle, visible from the wheel well.
