Toyota Tundra would not start. Turned ignition, heard "Click, click, click," then nothing. Replaced battery and everything OK. After one week of sub-zero weather, turned ignition, wouldn't start, turned ignition off, then heard "whir, whir, whir, click" then nothing. Is it the battery again, or what?

Hi there,

I would be getting the starter motor check, the noise you describe sounds like the starter spinning with out engaging the drive plate.
