I'm not near my Montero so can't check easily, but how easy is it to replace the starter solenoid vs. doing the entire starter?
I am getting occasional no start with a quiet click when I turn the key, then I turn the key a few times and all is good. Thinking starter solenoid issue but if its just as much work to replace that as the whole starter I will put in a new starter, if the solenoid is easy I would rather do that first since starter looks like a hassle. I am thinking the clicking I am hearing means its not the ignition switch, but could be wrong. It sounds like some relay is engaging in the dash or hood, but much quieter than I would expect the main starter relay to be. Only seems to happen on morning cold starts, no issue once the truck has been running a bit. Battery is strong.
Thanks, I'm away from my truck for a few days and want to get parts ordered.
