The Toyota Landcruiser Owners Club

I have a 1995 Land Cruiser and sometimes it will not turn over (like there is no power) after I have shut it off after a long/hot drive. I have replaced the starter/solenoid, the neutral safety switch and the battery. What's odd is that if you wait 5-15 minutes, it will start. What is the problem? It's been doing this for several years (30,000 miles...)

We need to know a bit more about the truck, model and engine and does it have one or two batteries.

It's a 4.5 litre, straight 6. single #23 Kirkland Toyota battery (2 days old), automatic

Have you checked all earth leads from the engine to body, also clean the battery leads, other than that I'm not sure as not good with electrics.

You say sometimes but not always. Is there a common denominator here. As an automatic, it should have an inhibitor switch to prevent starting in drive. Maybe the switch is not properly set.

Had a similar problem with a shogun,it turned out it was the battery connector,it was only losing 10amp from terminal to battery and caused very similar problems,took a sparky to find it,we checked if it was tight couldn't move it but it just wasn't connecting all the way round properly,worth a check with a volt meter to eliminate it.
Good luck buddy.
