Toyota says it is a “non-serviceable” part. Once it’s worn out, you have to replace it with a new one. Is it repairable? Let’s find out.
This one is from a Corolla but almost all Toyota cars use this kind of solenoid.

dumb question is a solenoid really just a BIG relay ?
Great video…I'm grateful for your knowledge..sharing is your gift ..thank you have a blessed day and be blessed
Great vid! Btw, Anyone in Boise area, i have a 07-12 Civic starter (bad solenoid) i would like to give away. Leave message.?
the reason for the malfunction doesnt make sense to me. nor does your repair idea. looks like the contacts just need some leveling, they look like they're just melted a bit from the electrical arcs. but even that doesnt make sense to me why its broken hehe thanks for tearing into this for us to take a look. toyota could have made this serviceable, too. the solenoid could also use a little better sealing where you cut to open it. at least some electric tape or "school glue" lol
Toyota hates you and your vids showing Toyota owners that they don't need to be fleeced, nor purchase a new car because they can't get the parts (or costs ungodly expense) for their otherwise perfectly working Toyota.
