- In this video I show you where the 30 Amp main fuse and the Starter Relay are on my 2006 Toyota Corolla. This should be in the same location on 2003-2008 Toyota Corollas. I have other videos on my 2006 Toyota Corolla on my channel. If you are interested and have time, please check those videos out. Thanks for watching!

This video just saved me! My Corolla 2002 wasn't starting and as I watched this video I realised the MAIN 40A relay wasn't sitting properly. Pushed it in and everything's fine again! Thank you!
would have been great if you'd actually showed how to replace the starter relay itself.
If you have a manual it tells you
How do you take out the starter relay?
The best way is take out the vent besides steering wheel and relay is visible for easy take out, use screw driver to pop it as there is tan on the relay hope that helps
@@user-vx4nw7hw3j there is no side vent on those models.
Hey brother thanks for the video! I wasn’t sure what was going on with my 03 Corolla S when it wouldn’t turn over… checked the spark plugs and they looked pretty bad so I bought new ones and tried your 30a fuse idea and still got nothing… I knew it couldn’t have been the starter cause it was just replaced only like 30,000 miles ago so I tried the starter relay next and BOOM! She’s working again! Thanks for getting my commuter car back on the highway again, friend. 🤙
Thanks for watching! I'm glad this helped!
How did you take it out?? I'm having the hardest time getting a good enough grip to pull it out...
@@smmaistheway yeah it’s kinda hard to get to. What I had to do was pull my seat back as far as possible then I laid on my back where the foot pedals are with my feet sticking out of the car and shined a light up into where the relay is to see where Its at then put the light down and try to feel for it by memory of where you saw it and get a good grip on it and try to wiggle it back and worth while pulling up on it one handed. It’s a really uncomfortable position but that’s how I was able to do it and I’m a pretty big guy so the smaller you are the better lol.
I changed my started and then nothing. Watched this vid and boom! It runs! Lol. Thanks.
Thanks for watching, I'm glad the video helped!
This is what I’m hoping is wrong I changed my starter two weeks ago and changed the battery myself today I’m hoping this is the problem but I have a Camry so I don’t know which fuse I try to pull all the 30s out and it’s tough I don’t wanna break it
Getting that purple fuse out is an entire video on its own.
What an inconvenience. The engineers should have put this relay to a location easily accessible. Just saying.
My 2005 Corolla is experiencing intermittent starts. I am currently at the Gas station and it will not start, so I pushed it into a parking stall. Thanks to your video, I have discovered a possible failed 30A Fuse, and replaced it with the spare as you instructed. The car is still not starting, so I will wait a while to see if it will start, then, I will proceed to the Local O'Reilly's Auto Parts store to see if they can replace the Starter Relay...I will remind them to disconnect the battery.
Thank you great video
Fantastic tutorial! You look and sound just like Conan O'Brien, which is always fun haha.
Haha! I have heard that before! Thanks for watching!
If you here the click click click from under the hood it's the starter solenoid which is attached to the starter which is located under the intake manifold. If it's click click clicking that means the starter relay is working just fine.
My 2003 Toyota Matrix stopped cranking halfway through.
I replaced the battery, starter, starter switch... and nothing worked. lights come on and react to me turning the key.
I'm hoping it is this fuse.
I pulled out the fuse and there was gunk on the prongs. Two of the prongs looked to be a bit burnt. It's the original part so, maybe it is time to change it?
I read elsewhere that they use the same fuses for that of a 00's Corolla.
You didn't show hiw you took it out?
Cause it's too darn hard!
Which one is the tail light relay on the fuse box?i have been trying to find it on my 2005 corolla,thanks
I replaced the starter, the battery, all fuze under hood, replaced starter relay and still nothing
Lots of help
Thanks for watching!
How do you remove the purple starter relay on the 2006 Corolla? It is stuck!
Excellent job on this video!
Thanks for watching!
Trying to find a video of someone actually removing a relay. I can't get the little blue denso to budge. I feel like I'm going to rip it in half
It's in there tight, you could use a relay puller with a 90 degree angle but might be hard to fit in there. Hope you get it good luck!
@@ToddsGarage Thanks, sounds like I just need to yank it out and have an extra on hand
Should my starter relay just pull out? Or do I need tools?
That 30 Amp fuse that green is that another starter fuse? I know about the relay but why you toke out the fuse?
Hey brotha thank u for the video instantly switched the fuse with the back up and it started right away saved me $124 bucks man...but also do u know what could be causing these fuses to burn out cuz my windshield wiper fuse also burnt out
Hi and thanks for watching, I am glad the video was helpful. I am not sure what could be causing your fuses to go bad, unfortunately it could be a lot of different things. Thanks again for watching.
Pls help me I have a 2004 toyota Corolla type s.
The bottom half of the fuse box has power but the top half has no voltage going through it.
The thick black wire with the green small wire in the tan box has power on one side of it but not the other. (Has power on the right side and not the left side)
Any advice will help I'm a college student and I really need this car.
Thank you
Hi Abel, Thanks for watching! I'm sorry but I wouldn't be sure what is going on with your car. I hope you are able to get your car fixed.
I wonder if that top vent above the relay place pops off like in a Matrix/Vibe? Make this job much easier and I'll be doing this myself when the snow melts. Good vid, keep the info out there!
Nice
Thanks for watching!
Hi Todd. I noticed my instrument cluster not responding. All the gauges, battery indicator light and others not showing after switching on the ignition. I dunno what fuse to check to confirm. Kindly help.
Thanks
Its same as the corolla in the video
How do you get it out?
It's way easier to get it in and out if you pop the vent that's to the left of the steering wheel out
How the world do you get it out! No video shows someone actually removing the Relay. Just magically appears in their hand😡
My toyota corolla altis 2003 model has a problem when i pressed the accelerator. Everytime i press the pedal there's a noise come from the relay under the drivers wheel. I thought that the relay is the problem but when i replace into new one the problem is still there.
Hi, thanks for watching! I'm not sure on that one, sorry I can't help. Good luck on getting it fixed, let us know what you find out.
What if my car doesn’t crank at all? I’ve changed the battery and starter and still nothing.
You don't need to disconnect the battery you'll never get shocked by 12v and that amp rate.
Couldn't it short out the fuse though ?
@@noyourawsome2lol979 the possibility is very slim but it could blow the fuse (worse scenario) but as long as someone getting shocked by 12v in a car is 0 to none. It is a good practice to disconnect the battery when performing electrical repairs but the reason is to protect other components from an unwanted load.
Wouldn't say zero though.... got a nasty surprise changing out my alternator in an old grand am
You can pop-up the air condition outlet on the driver side and you can see the blue relay and easy to get it in the matrix 2004 Toyota!!!!
So how do u replace it then?
Hi thanks for watching, They make a special tool called a relay puller to take relays out. The starter relay is in a hard to reach location, an angle relay puller might make it easier.
Gotta be hodini to get it out
Yes sir, can you plz pin point me,where is the fuelpump fuse relay,may car it won't start,but it cranking,what happen is I remove the fuelpump and clean,after it won't start
Thanks for watching, I'll try to address in a future video. Good luck hope you get it fixed!
Why didn't you show how to remove the relay ?
Add a question to anybody that would know I change the relay check the fuses they were all good took the starter off had it tested it works I'm still getting no power to turn the start over with a mission turn there's no clicking on the relay do you guys know anything of that problem if you can respond to me I'd appreciate it
I'm chasing a ghost on my Corolla. Check for voltage going to an coming back out of the neutral safety switch
Im in the exact same situation right now. Batter and starter are fine but still no cranking or clicking
I’m chasing a ghost too right now, gave up basically lol thank god I got another Corolla 🤪
didn't actually show us how to replace it, did you?
How the hell do you get it out??????
My Corolla will only click once and then goes dead and I get nothing after that initial click unless I take off and put back on my battery cables but than again the same thing
My alternator,starter and battery are all new and I’m about to put a new relay in but want to to make sure the relay was the problem 1st
Hey same here, did you figure what it was? Car goes dead after the first click when trying to start. I have to reseat the negative cable to give car the power. I see everything powers on except for the engine start and radio..
Did you ever resolve the issue? My wife has exactly the same problem @@mrivera914
Where is the starter fuse?
Lots of videos showing where this relay is but nobody shows how to do it. I do not believe it is actually possible to remove.
it comes off. Just worked on one hours ago. get a good grip and pull. best of luck
@@crod038 Where it is located there is no way to get any kind of grip on it.
I think he got shocked
Replaced starter, ordered relay, while waiting for the relay, decided to clean the battery terminals with wire brush, found hidden debris within the terminals. Cleaned and started right up.
It was killing me, was also considering changing the neutral safety switch, sometimes is the simple things we overlook.
What about 1 loud click? Not a bunch of small rapid clicks
I'm not sure on that one, did you get it figured out?
Yep. Engine was locked up 🤣
@@1dev2 sorry to hear that. Good luck with everything.
Why the fuck don't you show how to replace the part!?
Your video should be called, how to know where the starter relay is... cause you didn't teach how to replace it....
not exactly a help if you don't take it out.
waste of my time
the worst fuse box location in this car
Thanks brother and nice hat ! go dodgers!! oh and I hope they fire coach Robert's and Jansen with him I don't understand why we have a almost won game and he decides to put Jansen to #&%3 it up ? And about Robert's he's a bad, lazy coach other coaches go to mount when their pitcher throws 2 balls ? Robert's on world series games 4-5 runs from other teams and he still thinking about it man what the hack? Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Its much easier to pull the pocket change panel and the power mirror covers, then you can glab the relay from above and not struggle with the lack of room the way you suggest.
Starter relay is likely to fail in winter in cold weather. You will hear click without starting. Mine failed on 2005 corolla in a very cold morning.
