Imagine being so insecure you have to explain why you're working on a Toyota. It's ok to work on Toyotas! Lol jk, thanks for posting this! Good tip sliding out that fan. I have this job tomorrow morning. Guys like you really help earn a little extra money to keep food on the table for us neighborhood handymen
Thanks Guys, You were the only ones to suggest taking out the fan. GENIUS !!! 2 bolts, 2 clips and a connector, NO BRAINER ! Opens up SOOOOO much room ! Thanks Again !!!
Great. Video I’m not worried about the starter replacement now. If you ever do a power steering pump on a 2005 Corolla post it so I can see how to do that job.
Shop was gonna charge me 450 bucks just for the labor alone. Managed to do this in less than two hours and just followed this video exactly. THANK YOU!!! #gaylordfoundhishole
This is why I’m so glad I live in a border town here in southern Arizona. My son’s starter went out on his 06 Honda Civic. The location of the starter is so much harder to get at than these Corollas. It’s at the bottom of the engine in an extremely tight spot. The mechanic in Tucson was going to charge me 450 for labor as well. Instead, I called a friend who has a mechanic buddy in Nogales Sonora. I picked him up at the border with his tools, brought him to my home and 3 hours later I had a new starter installed. He charged me $60 dollars🤯 I gave him a 20 dollar tip and drove him home. Also, our local auto parts store was going to charge almost 200 for a new starter. I went online to Amazon and purchased one for 65 dollars. This was a year ago and the car still starts like a dream. I saved soo much money just by shopping smart
I turned the key in my 2004 Corolla (1.8L) and nothing. I changed the battery, same thing. This car went trouble free for so long, I completely overlooked the starter. All this car ever needed was routine maintenance. Nothing major. Thanks for posting. I thought I was in trouble. How much do these starters run about?
Did the oil in mine last night and then went to start it and nothing. Wont crank or anything when in park or neutral so we're thinking neutral safety switch. Just watching videos on starters also just incase it's the starter but pretty positive from what I've looked up that it's the switch.
iam Moetic No because the engine was cool at the time... If you just ran the motor let it cool down and you shouldn't have any pressure on the radiator
It's not entirely necessary. There are plenty of videos showing people wrestling it out with nothing else removed .... but if it's THAT simple to gain that much room... its worth it!
Sorry you DONT like toyotas. There are over 150 toyotas that have over a MILLION MILES on them. Unlike GM that has only a very very small handful that has come close and toyotas has very very very few recalls. Thanks for showing the video. My son is replacing his this morning.

Glad we could help. Thanks for watching.
I just finished this project (after watching your video) and it was a breeze! Thank you!

Thank you for watching..
I don't often comment on TH-cam videos but I recently replaced the starter on my 2005 Corolla and found the video helpful.
Glad it helped👍 thanks for watching
I opened the both bolts on the right hand but motor didn’t come out. It’s as bolts weren’t removed. Should I use hammer 🔨 after opening both bolts?
@@rightisright2571if you’re still trying to get it off 4 year later, then the answer is yes tap it with a hammer and it’ll slide right out

Thank you for your video it saved me over $150 in labor cost
af2001 Glad we could help out....
And now I get to replace it again
@@af2001damn it only lasted 4 years? WTH are you doing to that poor starter lol
I'm waiting a week to replace the starter. Hoping a few love taps with a wrench every now and then will hold me over until this weekend. 🙃
Cool! My starter is on it's last leg, about to get replaced tonight. Thanks for the walk through!
Thank you for the video. Gave me everything I needed to know to get the job done.
Zach White Thank you. Glad it helped....
Excellent. I was able to do it on my own thanks to this video and AutoZone

I think it was about $90 or so at Oreillys....
Now if I test the START wire by having someone try cranking and I find no voltage, is the Neutral Safety Switch a possible problem?
mine is going out gonna replace it soon, job looks intermediate but been watching a few video and seems like it's the same process
How the hell are you supposed to remove the power cord anchor clips for the fan without breaking them or ripping up the shroud.
The removal of the bad one is harder than installing a new one
Thank you David God bless
God Bless you and yours❤
