 Starter load test This isn't Bronco related outside of the fact that both have starters.
My wife's 2008 Toyota Sequoia with the 5.7l died the other night. Only get the tell-tale "click" when you try to start it. Got the starter pulled (that was a PITA, had to drop half the exhaust) but I want to actually test the starter with a load on it.
I did the bench test with a spare battery and verified that the motor would run and what not but there is no load on the unit like a flywheel would create.
Any thoughts? AutoZone's test doesn't actually put load on it.
I don't want to just throw money at this as the starter is $200+ from RockAuto and more at the dealer.
Thanks!
Adam

Re: Starter load test You can buy a battery load tester at Harbor Freight pretty cheaply.

Re: Starter load test A amp clamp meter is the best way to verify the true load the starter is pulling. If you have a multi meter you can check the resistance in you cables and check your Battery voltage at the battery and compare the voltage at the starter for voltage potential.
