#8418 of 8427 Re: Air coming through vents even in Off position [dtownfb] by 210delray Sep 02, 2009 (11:59 am)
Replying to: dtownfb (Sep 02, 2009 11:48 am) You have an LE with the 3-button manual climate control, correct? If so, I just discovered, similar to what wwest was saying, is if you simply turn on the fan, then hit the inset button to select "recirculate" (green light turns on), and finally turn off the fan, you won't get any airflow through the vents.   Both of my Camrys have the optional JBL setup (factory option) and I'm pleased with the sound.

Replying to: kiawah (Aug 22, 2009 2:30 am) Kiawah:   I have posted on here once before regarding the ABS making clicking sound at 7-11 mph which I understand is normal, but recently I have noticed a very very faint clicking sound (same noise as 7-11 mph) occur at 20 mph. Why would this occur twice and why is the second one so faint? Are two clicks normal at different speeds? Replies to this message: kiawah (Sep 02, 2009 2:39 pm)

Replying to: smithjs (Sep 02, 2009 2:10 pm) I never experienced any click at 20mph.   When we first got our 2007, I immediately noticed the first clicking as we were backing out of the garage every morning. I thought it was a problem, diagnosed it down to being the ABS system, then read up about the self test that it was doing and found the owners manual reference to it. If there was a 2nd click at 20, I never heard it or paid any attention to it.   I can tell you that for what seems like the longest time now (at least a year or maybe even two), I don't even hear the self test anymore. I know the ABS is still working correctly, as I've tested it in real driving situations!

Replying to: charliel68 (Aug 24, 2009 6:33 am) Charlie:   After reading your response I have noticed a very very faint clicking at 20 mph. Sometimes I hear it and sometimes I do not. Have you received confirmation from anyone else if this second click is normal? Once again, the second one as you describe is LESS noticeable. The car has to be quiet (no radio, air, windshield wipers etc...) and you really have to concentrate to hear it. The one I hear is extremely FAINT. Curious to hear what you think or what else you found out.

Replying to: chuckhall (Aug 21, 2009 4:52 pm) Chuckhall:   You responded to my first response regarding the ABS noise. I have a follow up question. After reading responses and talking to Toyota I realize that the clicking sound at 7-11 mph is normal, but recently I have noticed a very very faint clicking sound (same noise as 7-11 mph) but occurs at 20 mph. The noise at 20 mph is very very faint and you really have to be listening and concentrating to hear it. Best heard when no noise (radio, air, windshield wipers etc...) Why would this occur twice and why is the second one so faint?

Replying to: 210delray (Sep 02, 2009 11:59 am) Tried it yesterday and it worked as well.   I have the basic radio. I'm not a music connoisseur but I would like to have RDS and HD. Replies to this message: kiawah (Sep 04, 2009 8:48 am) wwest (Sep 04, 2009 4:18 pm) mcdawgg (Sep 05, 2009 2:44 pm)

Replying to: dtownfb (Sep 04, 2009 8:45 am) There is a damper in the HVAC system, which when open allows outside air to enter the air plenum, and when closed recirculates the inside cabin air. What you are doing is closing the damper by putting it into recirculate mode, and then turning off the system. Replies to this message: wwest (Sep 04, 2009 4:18 pm) mcdawgg (Sep 05, 2009 2:44 pm)

Replying to: kiawah (Sep 04, 2009 8:48 am) Due to the dangers of windshield fogging from cabin humidity build up in recirculate mode many newer systems will revert to fresh incoming airflow even when off, or as a standard "turn-off" sequence.   Put the system in recirculate and turn off the A/C and within about two minutes the system will switch automatically to "fresh".

Replying to: wwest (Sep 04, 2009 4:18 pm) But, if you want to defeat this, push and hold the recirculate button for 5 seconds, and it will not switch back to fresh, except if you switch into or out of the defrost modes. NOTE: be careful, just as you would when cars did not have this safety feature.
#8427 of 8427 2005 LE I-4 by jollygreen1 Nov 03, 2009 (8:43 am)
I was fortunate to find a six month old Camry LE (private owner) with 9k on it in 2005. Today (3 Nov 09) I have 61k on it and it has been a great vehicle. I did have the steering intermediate shaft lubricated (Service Bulletin T-SB-0296-08) and it stopped the clunking noise during slow speed turning and it seems to handle a lot better (psychological). The cost was $200 at an independant shop. Toyota dealer would not even discuss because it is out of warranty (matter of fact they were rude). I now have a "rain stick" noise on the driver's side dash during slow back ups, turns and slow forward acceleration. No, it isn't ping. The vehicle gets a consistent 25 to 27 town and at 65mph on the highway it gets 35-37. It will get 40mpg at 60mph (using consistent fill up procedures and hand calculated). Although I would like a new Prius, I cannot justify replacing the Camry.
