    Yes that is true. But you need to take the contacts out first, and take them to the dealership, because there are a few different contacts. And just remember how you took them out.

    how do you take them out??

    i was talking to my GFs uncle who used to be a mechanic at Toyota and he said starters dont go out.. all i need to do is pull the connector out and turn it around.. but if new connectors are only $10 then i'd rather put new ones in

    Just replace the starter, and make sure your leads to the starter are good as well.

    I 2nd that . . . Then while your tinkering, Upgrade the starter cabling and chassis grounds to heavier gauge . . . Makes everything work so much better . . .
