Default intermittent starting on 2003 gx470

Started happening about 6 weeks ago, progressively getting worse. Starts sometimes, doesn't matter if cold or hot. Batt voltage is 12.5 , anti theft fuse is good. All lights and dashboard instrumentation working w/ no faults being shown. It does not click or act like voltage is being sent to the starter. Starter relay has also been changed to no avail.

Check the obvious battery, battery posts are clean and tight , battery cables going to starter and engine ground secure

There is a very good chance it might be the failing Alternator.

No crank no start? Starter, you have a bad spot in the starter, when it spins to start the engine and lands on that spot, there you go.
