1. Identify the Starter Motor:
- Pop the hood of your Toyota Hilux.
- Look to the driver's side of the engine bay.
- Locate a cylindrical component with two thick electrical cables attached to it, close to the oil pan.
2. Electrical Connection:
- Follow the positive (+) battery cable that extends from the battery’s positive terminal.
- This cable should lead directly to the starter motor’s electrical terminal.
3. Ground Cable Connection:
- There will be a smaller ground cable connected to the starter motor.
- This will be connected to the engine block of your Toyota Hilux.
Additional Notes:
- Accessing the starter motor may be constrained by surrounding components.
- In some cases, you might need to disconnect and remove certain parts like air filters or hoses for easier access.
- It's advisable to check your Toyota Hilux's repair manual for specific instructions based on your model and year.
- If you're not confident working on automotive components, consider seeking assistance from a trained professional or a qualified mechanic.
