2005 TL WONT START one click
Ok, I read a few other posts but my situation is a little different than all of them. Drove my car to get chinese tonight , started fine and drove fine. When I came out to start it, all my inside stuff turned on but I got one click and the engine would not start. This past week my car was at the dealership to get the power steering hose recall fixed, they gave me a full "report" and one of the things listed was that my battery was good. My tl has 88000 miles on it, a battery less than two years old and the terminals are clean. I also tried my spare key and that didnt work. Is it most likely the starter?Could the dealership have accidentally done something? As always thanks in advanced.....

Not sure if helps, but this recently happened to me. I have a 07 manual TL-S and all i did was clean my battery terminals. But for some reason my fogs dont want to light up now. fuck.

Ok so this morning I went back to the car and the headlights don't dim when I go to start it. I banged on the starter and nothing I'm having it towed.

You have to bang on the starter WHILE someone is turning the switch. It won't always work. And, it might not be the starter.

Yeah that's what I did. The old lady was turning the key while I was banging on it. However when the tow truck driver came he turned the key about ten times and it started then I drove it to the shop .

So after cleaning my battery terminals, the car started just fine for a day. But just today the car sometimes does not start, it makes no noise just doesnt start. I would have to turn the ignition a few times before it starts. Other times the car starts just fine. Any reason as to why this is happening?

Yea I bought a starter. cost me 200 at the dealership. The problem hasn't occurred for a while though.

So, after you replaced the starter, the issue still has been happening? I'm confused.
If, after you replaced your starter, the issue still occurs, the next spot to look would be the ignition switch.
