One comment worthy of note. A lot of the newer imports have a gear reducted permant magnet starter motor... so when you bang on it you can very easily shatter the magnets inside. So even if you had thought about repairing the starter you now are up the proverbial Creek with out a paddle. Re-man starter 100-300 dollars new over a thousand... brushes about $30 which are now no longer an option. So unless you are in an emergency situation DON'T BANG ON THE STARTER.

Ah but is it a second or fourth declension Latin noun? Is it like Dominus (2nd) or Exercitus (4th)? Is the ablative plural Lexis or Lexibus? A group of Lexus owners probably wouldn't like to think that they drove by with or from Lexibus, and the nominative plural would still be Lexus like the singular. The Romans must have got very confused. Just as well they didn't have auto-chariots.

Now don’t get me wrong, snap on is amazing, that being said I only have a few snap on tools. I’m not a mechanic but i do more than the average guy, (right now I have an npi 4.6 block I’m getting ready to mate with ported PI heads, forged internals, ect) The tools I use are Gearwrench, Olsa, Tekton, Wiha, makita, Capri, ect. (Not gonna lie I have some HF stuff too) engine stand, breaker bars, a set of icon sockets, and of course the golden ratchet. I seriously think I have an addiction to shiny useful things, I order a tool or set every week. I think I’m up to 37 ratchets, 23 complete sets of sockets, 42 different pliers, 6 torque wrenches, and about 200-300 box end wrenches. Plus a lot more. But only 2 sets of screwdrivers as well. Anyways I love watching car repair videos when the guy with $40,000 worth of snap on uses the same tools I use as my main tools. Today it was your Gearwrench socket set. I have the same one except I pitched the blown molded case and threw them in my box on organizers. Actually just got another set of deep and shallow metric sockets yesterday. My point is that I would have spent $31,472.69 if I got all snap on (Or 2 dozen eggs) and I’m your average guy with bills and a family. And I’m not a pro mechanic like I said. But I am contractor so my work tools are waaaaaay over $30k. So I 100% get why you would use brands like snap on.

Toyota's been good about that on the newer V6s. I just had to do the starter on my 2008 ES 350 (same engine that's in this RX), it took less than an hour start to finish.

Impressive corrosion on the M post and wire, leading into the motor itself. The pull in coil and load side of the solenoid switch are both upstream. The way the starter is positioned, moisture is wicked down the wire into the motor. Does anybody know why they don't insulate that wire from moisture penetration? I've seen that before, nothing to do but replace the unit.

In the UK we have a compulsory annual MOT (Ministry of Transport) test for vehicle's 3 years old and over, even a "insecure" battery is an instant fail. If the police stop you and find the battery is insecure (even if the J clamps are loose) that is an offence and penalty points on your licence,a prohibition notice issued and vehicle deemed to be in an undriveable condition and will require a recovery truck.Loose battery is veiwed as a fire hazard and when repaired the vehicle has to be inspected again by a MOT test station.

Diag using your senses. Watch the brightness of the dash lights during cranking and listen for the solenoid. It will point you in the right direction. If you hear the click and your dash lights dim considerably, the engine might be locked up, or battery and connection problem. Rattling: check battery and connections. Click and no considerable dash lights dimming: starter issue. No click: starter or starter control circuitry: relay, neutral or brake switch, fuse. Verify with a test light. Don't use a multimeter because it might show 12Volts while there's no current capability due to bad contacts.

I agree with you on Lexi for plural addressable/acknowledging of said Lexi is such a way. I'd imagine that's how you'd say it. I've addressed the same way to the brand before I watched you on the tube so it's ironic you have, not "got" said things the way I do on the channel as a tech and human/father/DIY unit myself alike and it is strikingly resembling my nostalgic chord. Love watching Ray. I feel I watch my own hands working sometimes watching you. 🤙🔧✨️👌

I was thinking maybe put some dielectric grease on that braided wire and the positive cable post on starter. 🤷‍♂️

We’re work on Toyota/Lexus vehicles in our import shop. We see that adhesive on those vacuum hoses, it keeps the hoses aligned and in place. That starter was exposed to salt water or brine of some sort. too much corrosion. Those Toyota/Denso starters last for many years/miles.

Wait, what ,huh?!?!? First you have nonsensical ramblings, then a. Rubber thing caught on the nuts, and the country de grax something caught in the wrong hole? Seriously, thank you for another awesome, educational video. I truly enjoy all of your videos and have for quite awhile, and will continue to enjoy my morning coffee. You are truly a breath of fresh air... and very much enjoy your rambling... nonsensical and all.🙏💜

G’day Ray, I remember in one of your videos demonstrating that when removing a battery you should always remover the negative connector FIRST in order to PREVENT SHORTING the POSITIVE terminal to ground with the tool you are using to untighten the connectors. Then, when reconnecting the battery do the POSITIVE terminal FIRST for the same reason. I agree whole heatedly with this, however, in your videos you invariably undo the POSITIVE terminal FIRST thus not only ignoring your own advice but risking shorting the battery’s positive to ground with a metallic object that you are holding. In the interest of maintaining the dexterity of the hand in question this is something that should probably avoided.

I recently bought a Craftsman underhood light which was less than $100 and uses regular Craftsman 20v batteries. Works great, way brighter than other underhood lights I've used, and it folds in 2 so you can stand it up....

Hello Ray, just a thought, if the solenoid clicks you know it is being energized, so you know it is getting 12v 🤫 Also I saw your N.C. Diss, not everyone here has the "Squat". I used to use a beat up riding lawnmower to drag cars in with a rope, and an old tire tied to the front to push, it worked until I got employees. As always well done The One Time Hialeah Blue Mule NC
