Yaris starting problem - simple fix!

[@breezie3116]

Oh my god I’ve been stressing about mine being very finicky with starting and realized that it started right when I put my winter mats in

[@beeingthere533]

This happend to me a few days ago. This video saved me from towing my car down to the garage, replacing the battery and God knows what else. What a crazy thing to stop a car from starting. Thank you!

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Glad it helped

[@RealityCheck-za]

I had the same problem with my 2020 yaris, and after watching this video, i then got the solution. Thank you so much

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Thanks!

[@Vegapunkk]

I haven't checked mine yet but I have noticed the bloomin' mat riding up. Didn't think this could be one of the issues. If this is the problem then mate you are a legend.

[@normandbastien7765]

Thank you so much. I just had this problem and I would never have suspected that it was caused by the carpet. I had recently changed the original carpet for a «universal fit» rubber floor mat. It worked fine for a few weeks until it probably moved without me noticing. I was considering calling a tow truck to take the car to the repair shop the next morning. Then I thought I’d check on KZbin, just in case. And there was your video. Thanks again, friend. Not only did you save the day, but you saved me a bundle.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

It is so stupid, but it really works! Keep the carpet from under the pedals!

[@riccardonova4407]

Thanks mate! The guys at the car rental were desperate and almost giving up than I V found your video and the problem was solved in a flash

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Glad it helped!

[@Maredred]

Thank you so much for this kind Sir, you saved me a lot of money and time! God bless you!

[@chrissherwood6845]

You have saved me from stripping the dashboard! I have already changed the starter motor! 😩

[@vpetronzio]

hi i know this is pretty old but yaris 2008 dosnt crank or start, i tried boosting it early but no results :( is this video for when teh car cranks but dosnt start?

[@BritannicaRestorations]

On mine the braided copper wire between the solenoid and starter corroded - Seems to be common, and a replacement starter was only C$90

[@gonzaloarnezandia6780]

Thanks to this video I could start my Yaris after 3 days traying many things

[@BritannicaRestorations]

¡excelente!

Hi Mike hope you get well soon very many thanks Eliot

[@BritannicaRestorations]

worst is over, but it does not seem to want to go completely - another few day I think

[@justinscoot6943]

This video saved me. Thank you! I never in a million years thought my carpet would cause the problem so I bought a new battery and was getting ready to buy a new starter when I thought, "screw it, why not check the carpet" and sure enough it was pushed forward. Set it in place and it started right up! Thank you

[@BritannicaRestorations]

It's not as daft as you think eh?

[@sentientx5510]

The same happened to me today, I was about to change the starter but the Toyota mechanic noticed that i dident press the clutch all the way..it explains why it happens sometimes and not always. embaressed but happy now!!!

[@malcolmyoung7866]

Best joke I've heard today...Get well soon, Mike...Just been off for 8 days with a chest infection and woke up this morning feeling like I'm getting something else

[@MrRobmellor]

I hope that you haven't had a Chinese take away Mike. YES!!!! good old mister Jamieson, rub plenty on your chest,,,,, from the inside of coarse. The old Ford ;D; series had a multiple wiring connector on the passenger side. Some drivers always had a tool box/wheel brace in the footwell and after the cab had been tilted a few times the wires were pulled out which killed all the electric to the cab, I had a few call-outs with that. Get well soon mate, best wishes from Yorkshire Rob.
