I would first check connections. Clean terminals, makes sure it has good connection between battery and starter, as well as fuse box. Then check battery, Even if it shows 12 volts, it may have no cold cranking power left in it. A simple way is to turn on lights, they should be bright. If they almost die when you hit starter, most likely the battery is bad, or starter is draining to much power. I would always check least expensive and easiest probable component first, (battery most likely) If the connections seem good, battery is good, then pull starter, take it down and have it bench tested. Good Luck

you need a new battery. if battery has been replaced and this still does not solve the problem, you must have had the bad battery for too long and it ruined the If the new battery doesn't solve the problem you can have check the battery cables, make sure they have a clean tight connection. Also the problem could be with your starter also.

When i try to start my 4-runner it clicks but does not turn over. What is the problem?

Have you checked your starter? If it clicks but does not turn over this is probably the issue. If you have a pipe, lug wrench, or retractable baton(my preference), tap the starter housing a few times pretty hard. Tapping the casing may help un-seize(?) your starter gear which is preventing the starter from cranking. The ultimate correction for your problem though would be testing your starter and possibly replacing it. Have you checked your starter? If it clicks but does not turn over this is probably the issue.
