Replying to: jimandkim1 (Apr 17, 2009 7:10 pm) Corrosion on battery terminals? Loose connections?   When you had the battery swapped before, did they run a complete load test on the battery and alternator? ...... or....did you just simply replace the battery?

Replying to: jimandkim1 (Apr 18, 2009 3:56 am) I'd check the starter relay in the engine compartment fuse box.   Normally, when you have a no-start condition, and then you jump it with another battery and it starts right up, you'd highly suspect the battery. If it's not the battery, you would suspect one of the connections that you might wiggle while putting on the jumper cables, or corrosion up inside the wire on the battery cables.   One would not necessary suspect the starter relay with your symptom, as jumping with another battery wouldn't typically have an effect on the relay. But, you indicate you have checked the battery and cables.   If it's not the relay, you're going to need a voltmeter to help isolate the problem.

new to this forum and to car (in general). a month ago bought a second-hand camry ('93). it ran fine, but today right at the intersection when the light switched to green, the engine shut itself off. i tried to turn the key and restart the engine - there was NO sound. as if the engine was dead. it so happened there was a pep boys next to the road so i pushed the car there. i had a battery changed (old one was 4 y/o). it seemed everything worked fine now - EXCEPT , right at pep boys, i started the engine and was trying to back out the car after they installed the new battery, once i shifted the gear to R, the engine died right then. i was able to start the engine after shift the gear back to P, and this time the engine did not die when i moved to R to back up. Any idea why the engine died suddenly at the traffic light and why it died the second time after i got a new battery (when i shifted it to P) thanks a lot   Replies to this message: kajote (Jun 27, 2009 6:32 pm) alex24 (Jun 29, 2009 6:40 pm)

Replying to: bchen357 (Jun 27, 2009 6:15 pm) i would definately check the alternator along with the connections and voltage regulator..most places will check the alternator for free Replies to this message: alex24 (Jun 29, 2009 6:40 pm)

Replying to: kajote (Jun 27, 2009 6:32 pm) If your alternator is bad , then your engine is running off your battery, and as soon as your battery runs out of power your engine will cut out again, 93 Camrys have problems with the Distributor unit shorting out, some distributors short out after getting to a hotter tempature. and engine cuts out, and some short out causing the RPM to keep flickering unsteady, but from what you said, its does sound like your alternator/voltage regulator has a problem, or your wire connections are not making good contact.
#91 of 95 Toyota Camry Brake lights do not work, even after replacing the bulbs and f by ngay1703 Jun 29, 2009 (11:54 pm)
I have a 1989 Toyota Camry and my brake lights do not work. I checked the fuses ( all of them! under hood and inside driver panel) also replaced all the bulbs with new. I still have no brake lights and the dash light indicator continuously shows a little car with the back light problem. What can I do? I would like to know if there is a stop switch attached to the brake pedal and if so how do I check it and/or replace if it is bad. Can I get a diagram and directions on this part...I think it is called an actuator switch? Also, if anyone has any other useful information as to what may be the culprit please let me know. Possible a relay or a link? -----signature----- Implantnha khoa Where will we go after dead? Replies to this message: kiawah (Jun 30, 2009 3:46 am) twmp88 (Nov 07, 2009 11:18 pm)

Replying to: ngay1703 (Jun 29, 2009 11:54 pm) Check the 20A Stop fuse, and the 15A Tail fuse, both in the drivers side lower left kickpanel. Yes, there is also a stop switch on the brake pedal, but verify that you have power to the circuitry first.   Let me know what you find when you check those fuses.

Replying to: ngay1703 (Jun 29, 2009 11:54 pm) the back-up wire was cut off in the rear trunk under the lid on the left side, i guess.
