Hey will this work if i only get a single click. The battery meter will read 12v and make a small dip if i turn the key. But it might only click one time. Wait a while and it will click again. There have been many things ive tried. I am about to do the relay mod but if this will work too ill give it a shot. Where can i get that relay?
@@stevenhuffman2886, if it’s a failure caused by voltage drop at the starter relay, this plug and play modification should do what you’re looking for. No need to wire a relay when this one plugs right in and doubles the current rating. Search on Amazon for “Toyota 12 v 22a relay”. I have info in the video description.

No such problem on Euro Mk3s as we do not have any starter relay. Toyota needed that kick panel position for rear fog lights so we got no theft deterrent system and therefore no starter relay as well.
@@supersportsupra1391, none that I can see. People have been performing this mod with 30A Bosch style relays for years. They wire them into that socket. I personally don’t like seeing outboarded relays in a car and try to preserve OEM appearance. This relay is rated for 22A, not quite the 30A of a Bosch, but more than double the factory starter relay rating.
@SupraSeth I am the same way of trying to keep everything OEM looking so i can appreciate this. I had started getting these starter clicks a few years ago and originally just replaced the starter and added more grounds. Seemed to do the trick but im starting to randomly get them again
@@supersportsupra1391, I rebuilt by starter which improved reliability. The only time I’d run into the click and no start was when the engine was warm and or I had a small load on the battery. Sounds similar to your experience.
@@supersportsupra1391, that makes complete sense. The starter solenoid draws more current while hot. All the more evidence that the OEM relay just can’t meet the current load.
thanks for the video my MK3 just starting doing exactly that, just order the relays for both of my cars
thank you. I had a relay re-wire mod done to mine as it had the same symptoms. Will give this an update
@@InBoostWeTrust7MGTE, wishing you the best outcome. Let us know how it goes.
Just found ya. My Supra is up for sale. Doing this mod first
Appreciate the video we all needed this!
Nice find, the same current goes through the ignition switch which is also a cheap part to replace in the steering column

Any drawbacks to doing this? Popping a fuse or something on the same circuit

@@SupraSeth Exactly the same thing happens to mine, I would have to wait for it to cool down before it would crank over
