Thanks Randall, you have been a great help. One last question. do I have to replace the whole starter or is the starter solenoid only available for replacement? I am getting a little long in the tooth and I won't be trying this at home I have a great mechanic that I trust.I hope that you have a great year. Pat from Texas

No, Just a single click, then I release it . I do not turn the key off just back to the run position and then try again, yesterday it took 3 tries before it cranked up. Then the next time I tried to start it it worked the first time. Go Figure.I don't know if it showed any codes because I don't have a reader. Pat from Texas

I have a '02 LS430 with 108.000 miles and just this week I have had a problem with it cranking over .When I turn the ignition switch over it clicks like a dead battery, I try again and it cranks really fast and starts right up, sometimes I will have to turn the switch 2 or maybe 3 times to get it to crank. Ignition switch ? Anybody else had this sympton ? Pat in Texas
