My 2012 Toyota Corolla S won't start.

Asked by N Jun 10, 2024 at 06:05 PM about the 2012 Toyota Corolla S

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2012 Toyota Corolla S won't start after coming out of the store. When I turn
the key it clicks only once and the dash lights still come on. We've replaced the
battery and cleaned the terminal cables, we've replaced the starter, replaced
the starter relay, and replaced the engine crankshaft. My car still won't start
even after replacing all of this. What else are we missing?

Usually one loud click is a bad starter, was the replacement starter bench tested? If it was then you need to move onto checking power and grounds to the starter and engine.

Ohh and make sure the security system is deactivated as you stated that you replaced the battery and that usually turns it on by default.
