#2787 of 5279 Re: all stop brake lights out-1989 toyota camry [camhead] by peterpan Dec 28, 2004 (9:06 pm)
Replying to: camhead (Dec 28, 2004 1:07 pm) I've posted about this problem before.   The problem is most likely a defective brake light module, which is a circuit board inside a yellow plastic box, half the size of a cigarette pack, in the trunk, near the power antenna.   You can buy a used model from salvage yard for about $40. New module from dealer is about $150. You can plug it in without problem.   You can also take the circuit board out and look for cracked solder joints. Solder them back and it should work fine. That's what I did.

Yes, that is another possibility. The other writer in a different forum had one shorted bulb which made the other lights not light up along with the "light burnt out" message. In his case, he burnt up a lot of solder joints in modules before finding out it was a bad bulb. Replies to this message: peterpan (Dec 29, 2004 10:07 pm)

Replying to: csagee (Dec 26, 2004 1:33 pm) Open your drivers door, set in the drivers seat, look to the left of the steering wheel, it looks like an ashtray, pull it all the way out and you will see the fuses behind it. the diagram for all the fuses is located on the back of the pulled out section.   goodluck,   big harold Replies to this message: rcpjr (Jan 12, 2005 3:50 pm) ktnr (Jan 12, 2005 4:04 pm) rcpjr (Jan 13, 2005 8:38 am) alcan (Jan 13, 2005 4:37 am) cosmos1 (Jan 24, 2005 7:48 pm)
#2790 of 5279 No firing, new Fuel Pump replaced by bigharold Dec 29, 2004 (5:50 pm)
1992 Toyota Camry was not getting any gas. Would turn over and had run fine 2 hours previously. Was parked in a parking spot and had run fine. Thought it was the fuel pump, replaced it, reset the fuse as it had been blown, attempted to start it, fuel is getting to injectors and to the throttle body, but will not fire. Have checked all fuses that I know about, have pulled spark plugs and have no spark. Any suggestions on what to look for next.   Thanks, Replies to this message: peterpan (Dec 29, 2004 9:18 pm)

Replying to: bigharold (Dec 29, 2004 5:50 pm) It looks like the ignition system is dead. It could be a wet distributor, its worn rotor, burned ignition module, burned ignition coil, or all 4 broken plugs' wires (not likely).   I suggest trouble shoot and test crank the engine at each stage in the following order:   1. Open the distributor cap. Inspect for any cracks, moisture etc...Replace the rotor ($5.00) then secure the cap. Crank the engine.     2. Use a sharp tool to mark the position of the distributor's 2 mounting screws relative to its mounting flanges, as the distributor's mounting position affects firing timing. Remove the distributor. Check for open/damaged wires around the ignition coil inside the distributor. The coil could look fine on the outside but have burned wires inside. The stores can probably measure the inductance to find out whether it's still good or not. Replace the coil ($40) if necessary.    3. Remove and test the ignition module in another 92 Camry, or just replace the module ($150). The module is silver, the size of half cigarette pack, mounted on the left strut housing in the engine bay. Crank the engine.   The replacement parts are sold at auto part stores.

Replying to: typesix (Dec 29, 2004 11:34 am) If one brake bulb is burned, the other one should continue working! Engineers are not so stupid to design a series circuit like that!   Try it. Remove one brake bulb and see whether the other works!
#2793 of 5279 Brakelights by typesix Dec 30, 2004 (9:44 am)
Just relaying the other writer stated. He did not say bulb was burnt out, it had a short which caused the lamp burn out module to overheat and melt a solder joint.
#2794 of 5279 Camry AC filter by slim2 Dec 30, 2004 (11:23 am)
My 2002 maintenace manual suggests changing the air conditioner filter every 7500 miles. Is this something I can do, or does it involve a mechanic ripping out a dashboard ? How much does the part cost ? How much to have dealer do it ? Any help will be appreciated. Replies to this message: jdeib (Dec 30, 2004 2:47 pm)

Replying to: slim2 (Dec 30, 2004 11:23 am) It is fairly simple to do. In your owners manual it will describe the procedure. But basically, it involves removing a screw on the one side of the glove box and letting the glove box door hang down. (remove everything from the glove box first!) Then you can see the filter door, remove it and switch out the old one for the new one, replace and put everything back as it was. It's a five minute job once you have done it once. The first time it will take a bit longer. Good Luck! Oh, the part is about $15.   Jayme
#2796 of 5279 MPG info display in Camry by gclark Jan 02, 2005 (12:18 pm)
Replying to: geesell (Dec 29, 1999 4:50 pm) I just purchased a 2005 Camry XLE. Great car!!!   I'm sort of a geek. I really like the information display (MPG, elapsed time, average speed). On my first two fuel fill-ups, I checked the accuracy of the average MPG; is it way off. For example, on a trip, the info showed 39.2 average MPG, but the actual fuel and miles driven gave a calculation of 33.1. Also, the estimated remaining driving distance (before a fill-up is needed) is very inaccurate.   Does anybody know whether the info display can be calibrated or adjusted to be more accurate?   Thanks   gclark Replies to this message: texaskat (Jan 05, 2005 11:56 am)
