Replying to: michael85648 (Jan 29, 2009 4:31 pm) Does it have symptoms that your battery voltage is low? (Starter turns slowly). If so, you may want to get it to an autoparts chain (pep boys, autozone, etc) and have them do a load test on your battery and alternator, and check for corrosion on your battery terminals. Load test is usually free. |

Replying to: kiawah (Jan 29, 2009 4:04 pm) When checking the voltages on the fuse box up in the engine compartment, put the negative lead of the voltmeter on the negative post of the battery, and use the positive voltmeter lead to insert into the fuse slots to check the voltage. You should read about 13-14 volts if there is power. When you are inside the vehicle, you'll need to find a metal ground (or a bolt connected to metal not plastic) somewhere, to ground the negative lead to

Replying to: kiawah (Jan 29, 2009 5:01 pm) And I just realized. I said this is a '99. It is a 94 Camry. (Bad case of brain freeze). Sorry,

Replying to: graybear56 (Feb 02, 2009 7:09 am) You failed to indicate what voltages you found on your dome light. The 20A dome fuse is common to both dome and radio (as well as other things), which you have reportedly checked. Can you verify with a volt meter the voltage on the dome light itself and bulb? Also, tell me whether the luggage compartment light is working or not (the trunk light). I'm trying to get you to resolve what should be the easier problems first. They are easier for you to track down, and may lead to and be related to the problem associated with not starting. "Not starting" could be any number of problems, and you'll need the ability to electrically prove that a circuit has power or not, and that fuses really are good or bad. That's why I need you to get a voltmeter and prove whether circuits actually have the power they are supposed to have. If you can't get this diagnostics to work, then you're going to have to have it towed to a shop with some expertise in resolving Toyota electrical problems. |

Hi, I have 87k miles on my 98 Camry. Y'day while coming back from my day care my radio, clock, & dash controls (incl. odometer, RPM, temp. gauge) stopped working all of a sudden. Fortunately, since my home was only a couple of miles away I managed to driive back safely. After parking the car I noticed that it wouldn't change gears (couldn't get to Drive from Park) even though it started up fine. The horn, head lights and hazard lights work but the turning signals don't. I was thinking may be a fuse was blown..Could you please let me know what to look for and what might be the problem. Appreciate the help. Thanks.

Replying to: kajote (Mar 10, 2009 6:51 am) Also, I think the 100A alternator fuse might be blown. can anyone confirm if this could cause my problems and also do I need to check any other fuses? Thanks again. |

Hello My Mom has a 92 camry 2.2 whick sometimes sits for 2-3 days at a time. Most of the time she will crank with no problems. Sometimes she will not start and the starter clicks, the horn blows, lights flash. I jump the car, she cranks right up and ready to go. Decided to keep the car for a few days at my house to piddle around with it, maybe find the problem, tune up, filters, etc. I drive to work each day no real problems. I have had the problem a couple of times on occasion. ie drive for 20 mins, stop for 30 mins, drive for 10 min, no crank. jump start, runs again for several days no problem. Could this possibly be the starter solenoid? Thnaks for your help, Jim
