2015 but acquired about 2 years ago. It was stolen last year and I got it back and swapped the ignition. The noise has been happening for a few months now, getting worse and I don’t want to ignore it for it to become detrimental. Don’t know much about mechanics so pictures, drawings, descriptive language is very helpful. Here’s the video for reference. Thank you for any and all help.
Alright, I know nothing about cars and I’m sure someone out there does and can hopefully help me figure this out so I don’t have to spend money i don’t have to get it looked at.
My 2015 Toyota RAV4 XLE isn’t starting. Not even a chirp when I turn the key. I put a new battery in it about 2 months ago, swapped out the starter about a week ago, and now it just won’t even try to turn on. I have not yet checked the battery… i will when I get home tonight. But it had been having difficulty starting for about three months, hence the new battery and starter. Before it was clicking but not starting, and I kicked it a few times, and it would start. So that’s when I swapped the starter. But then it started just taking an extra second or two longer to actually start. My only other guess is the alternator but I don’t want to buy a new alternator unless that is really the issue. It also has a diagnostic thing saying the O2? Sensor is malfunctioning, so maybe that contributes to it? My other guess is to check the fuses, which I haven’t done yet either… just trying to get some insider gear-head info before I tear it apart. Any suggestions?
