05 RX330 won't start. Sounds like electrical motor is spinning that's it
Has anybody had this problem, the ignition is turned and the engine will not start but there is a spinning sound that sounds like electrical. I'm waiting on a tow truck to try jump-started to see if that is the issue. Not sure if this is a starter issue either. Anyone have this experience let me know what you found out thank you aloha

can you load a vid? or audio file? On a beater jeep grand cherokee I had, as the starter was dying, (according to my transmission guy), they can slightly misalign, the teeth on the starter and the teeth and whatever it needs to turn to start the engine in the tranny, and causes the teeth to not quite catch, thus losing teeth, and then the starter just spins.

Just to make sure, as starter housing is made out of cast aluminum.
You do not whack it with "metal".
You whack it with hammer HANDLE, which is WOOD or with mallet, if you can. Point being not to crack housing and to force Bendix to pop out and engage with flywheel. There's also possibility of flywheel tooth chipped off, so even functioning Bendix can't engage.
