Model: Toyota Rav 4 MK 3, Xa30 - Years 2006-2013
Part: Starter motor

In this video we can see where the starter motor is located in the Toyota RAV4 and how to proceed in case we need to replace it. As shown, the starter motor is located on the left side of the engine, at about mid-height and just below the filter box. To replace it, it will be sufficient to remove the battery, its support, the filter box, and the intake duct, and then disconnect the two power poles and unscrew the fixing bolts. Before starting, make sure the key is not inserted, so you can work in complete safety.
