Door locks by damdoor

Hi all, My door locks will not work electronically with door lock switch (armrest of the doors)or w/key to open all doors. I have checked all fuses concerning and all are ok. I have even checked every fuse both under hood and by left knee and all are ok. Everything else in vehicle seems to be working also(cig & aux, and all other that is electrical.) It's probably something simple ,I HOPE.. I can do basic stuff but electronic testing I have never learned. I have a '00 camry CE. Thanks in advance to all.

Well there are only a couple things you'll be able to do without some electrical knowledge. There are three fuses that are part of the door lock circuitry....check to make sure all three of these are okay:
- 30A Power M fuse
- 25A Door fuse
- 10A Gauge fuse
 
If those check out okay, then you'd need an electrical multimeter to diagnose it further.

KIAWAH, Which one is the 30 amp pwr m fuse. Is that the pink square one to the extreme bottom right by the left knee. It looks like a tiny copper thread showing, unlike the look of the other square fuses that have the metallic t showing thru the top. Or is the 30 amp pwr m fuse in the box under the hood. I checked the other fuses and replaced the 10 and 25 just to be sure. Again, Thanks in advance

It's in the Fuse box by your left knee.
 
In a column, about 2/3rds of the way across left to right, will be a column of fuses. Going from top to bottom are:
- 7.5 Amp Turn
- 7.5 Amp Rad
- 15 Amp Cig (you should check to make sure this one is okay as well)
- 40 Amp Def
- 30 Amp Power (this is the one I need you to verify is good)
- 40 Amp AM1

KIAWAH, The 30 amp is the one I was talking about that has no metallic T at the top of the see thru window. All you see is a tiny copper wire in a white plastic piece. I took the fuse out and carefully took the plastic see thru top off and there are no broken pieces or anything that looks out of place, like as if the metallic T had broken if there ever was one on this fuse. Again, Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, since all of your fuses appear to be okay.....the problem is most likely the integration relay (an electrical circuit board), which for your year is a big 12 pin relay on the "back side" of that fuse panel that you were checking the fuses on. There is a different relay in the circuit, but since your power windows are working that relay couldn't be the problem.
 
Personally, I would verify all of the inputs (voltages, switch inputs) to the integration relay were the correct values (and the outputs were incorrect)...before shelling out $$ for a new integration relay. Not sure that is practical for you without electrical knowledge, digital multi-meter, and electrical schematics. Electrical items are not returnable, so if you buy one you own it if diagnosis is incorrect, thats why I would personally take it the extra step to prove that it is the problem.
 
You will either need to get it to the dealer to completely diagnose and fix, or take a chance that the integration relay is the problem and you can swap it out yourself.

'07 Camry LE - regular maintenance by graffixx
Sep 08, 2008 (10:28 am)

We bought a used '07 Camry LE (Auto). The dealer did service maintenance on it at about 30k miles. It now has about 34k miles on it. The car didn't come with an owner manual from the previous owner.
 
Am I expecting the service maintenance required light to come on before I take it in to have an oil change?
 
Or does the service maintenance light only comes on when we have to do some minor/major service?

If you know the dealer did maintenance at 30k, what did they do? Basically, the manual says change the engine air filter and cabin air filter, and oil change.
 
The service maintenance light is just an oil change reminder. It begins to warn you after 4,500 miles from the last time it was reset. I think it remains on steady or flashes or something at 5,000 miles.
 
I would do two things - find out exactly what was done at 30k, and get an owner's manual. You can find them for sale on line, or just look up the information on the internet (Edmunds), even the Toyota website I think has the details of the maintenance requirements.

What should I do? by mumble88

I got a 07 Solara and trying to take care of it. So I got a cover from carscover.com. It looked like a great cover. But now that I purchased it I'm worried that it could damage the paint job of my car. What do you guys think? Will it damage my car?

I don't know about current car covers and paint jobs, but in the past, they did more harm than good.
