starter cost?
Hey everyone, I have a 03 es300 with 151000 and it won't start. All lights work. AAA said the battery was fine. No noise when i turn the key. How much does it cost to replace the starter? If thats what it really is. I don't want to get ripped off. Selinoid maybe?

Before changing the starter.
Tap the starter several times with a hammer, not too hard. See if it starts, also try starting it in Neural. If all fails it could also be your security system, or a loose cable. In tat case you'll need to ave the voltages at te starter verified.

Check your locks...if they don't fully actuate, they can open the door enough to let in but not enough to tell the computer the door is unlocked. When the computer see the door open (dome light circuit) it treats as unauthorized access (computer still thinks the door was locked) and disables the starter circuit.
Cycle the locks a few times. This just happened to me earlier this week when it rained for awhile then fell below freezing. Everything else worked but the starter.

To answer your original question, I paid around $140 for a new starter and solenoid for my 03 ES300. Fairly easy to replace the starter, just need to remove the battery and airbox to get access to the starter.
