Thanks! After posting my question here, I asked a friend the same question and he agreed with you.
Well, here's what happened since I received your reply...
I will be back after I check the starter relay. Thanks for your help and everyone who helps from this point forward. Joe |

To answer your questions and not in order: 4) The starter relay solenoid is connected between any safety switch such as clutch or P/N switch and the ign switch. When the ign switch is turned to start. Power runs through the safety switch to starter solenoid to close the relay. The relay switch then sends power to the starter solenoid. 1) It is rare for a starter relay to fail. Typically if click, click the issue is the battery, battery connections, cable running between the battery and starter solenoid or the starter solenoid. 3) The easiest method to check the starter solenoid is with a volt meter. Find the SMALL wire going to the starter solenoid (might be black/red). Connect volt meter to the wire terminal. When the ign switch is turned to start, there should be constant 12V at the terminal. 2) If the starter relay is removed, the starting circuit should not operate. 5) Only you know this as only you can give meaning to it. |

Can I conclude from Item 12 that Relay #1 is not the starter relay and that one of the other four relays are the starter relay? ... And should I continuity test them? ... And is there anything else I should do or consider? Thanks! Joe |
I was just curious what the outcome of this was. Have an '03 Camry with similar symptoms. Haven't replaced any relays yet, but have one ordered and this will be my next step.
