Default 201 LS430 will not start

My 2001 Lexus LS430 would not start today. No hint of oncoming starter problems.

I had battery removed and checked at AutoZone. Good battery.

I checked AM2 fuse and it looks good. Swapped with another 30A fuse. No change.


Is there a starter relay I can check? I have seen what is involved to dig out the starter and I want to make sure there is nothing else I can check before looking into starter.

It is hard for me to tell by myself but I think I hear a faint single click when I try ignition. All other electrical systems seem to be working as far as I can tell.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

pull your starter relay and touch the positive post next to the starter relay to the farthest plug from the post on the relay (or read the relay and find correct post). If your starter turns your good if not you have a bad starter. If it turns over, Now put key to “ON” and try again see if car starts
