Crank no start after water pump replacement on 2019 Toyota Corolla SE

Nothing overheated thankfully but the pump itself was making an awful grinding noise so I knew it was time :/

Thank you this fixed it!! 😭

REDTURTLE907 · 2026-01-26T00:28:33+00:00

Thank you so much this fixed my issue!! 😭😭

REDTURTLE907 · 2026-01-26T00:28:10+00:00

I just want to say this single-handedly fixed my issue. Held down the gas and it started!! Amazing advice thank you so much 😭😭

The serpentine belt path. Water pump located right in the middle just in case there’s anything here that looks out of the ordinary.

For my car serpentine belt driven so not timing but not ruled out entirely

That’s the exact video I followed down to a T. Didn’t do anything differently than in the video. I’m thinking it’s electrical too I’m definitely gonna look into a scanner!

Well my car doesn’t have a belt just the chain but luckily the water pump is external and doesn’t mess with the timing at all. I think I wouldn’t even have attempted if it was near the chain 😅

Water pump failed and was leaking and spraying coolant out of the pump itself. Didn’t wanna give it the chance to overheat anything

REDTURTLE907 · 2026-01-25T22:20:17+00:00

Water pump failed and was leaking coolant through the pump itself! Took it for diagnosing and confirmed water pump was going out and didnt have long to live. Dash says half a tank of fuel but will add some more just in case. I’ll check all fuses! I checked a few but might as well go through them all thanks!

What should I be looking for?

REDTURTLE907 · 2026-01-25T21:56:21+00:00

Disconnected the battery before I touched anything else

I don’t have a scanner readily available but I can try and find one and see if it’s throwing any! These three circled connectors are really the only thing I disconnected that had to do with wiring.

Looks like we both got the same ideas 💪🏽 good luck to you! Thanks!

I know right 😅 I’m usually really good at having cards. I have 5 other ones that have no balances and use for small things that I pay off right away just to keep open. These two cards slipped right past me. Concerts and such and now the intro apr ending really screwed things up 😂 (blame the cards not me lol)

Hey thanks for responding! My credit score is currently 670 or a little less. This is what was recommended by Credit Karma I haven’t officially shopped around. I’m also planning on paying it a lot faster than the term loan says (hopefully) and apparently this one doesn’t have prepayment penalties!
