Stu,
 
Check your hotmail, sent you a picture that will help. Focus on identifying the items that are working and not working. You may be downstream one fuse from the 100ALT, if you can verify a device on one of the tree limbs off the 100ALT is working okay.
 
Good luck

Neutral Switch, Speedometer and Power Windows by cam1998

Hi all... Need some help please...
  A little background: I recently had my engine replace and the car sounds great and is running a-o-k, BUT after an hour of getting the car back my speedometer and RPM gauge stopped working, dash light indicating the gear I'm in is not on and I can no longer open or close any of my power windows (including the sunroof). I have ck'd the window fuses and they are good.
 
I obviously took the car back in for thinking when they replaced the engine they screwed up something electrical.... they said it's the Neutral Switch causing the relay for the windows to go out, the lights in the dash not to work and the rest of the dash (speedometer and RPMs not to register).
 
I don't know about cars, but it sounds weird how they are all connected. Could it have been an error on the engine install and now they are trying to get me for more money due to their error??? PLEASE I NEED HELP!

They speak the truth.
 
For your vehicle the 10A Gauge fuse, handles:
ABS and traction control
Backup Light
Charging
Combination Meter (your dash gauge)
Cruise Control
Door Locks
Electronically controlled Transmission and indicator
Engine Control
Headlight w/Daytime running light
Key reminder and seat belt buzzer
Light Auto Turn off
Moon Roof
Power Window
Stop Light
Taillight

I had this exact same problem in my 99 camry after removing and reinstalling my gauge cluster. i lost function of all of those components and the car would not shift out of first gear. Mechanic said it was the neutral safety switch, I held off on replacing it, replaced the fuse after if blew a few times, then checked all my connections and ended up finding a short at the reverse lights causing the fuse to blow as soon as I put the car into gear. it seems the wire harness to the tail lights that runs along the trunk lid arm is prone to breakage. I fixed that and haven't had a problem since. Hope this helps a little.

Thanks for everyone's input. Turns out the Speed Sensor was cracked off when they placed in my "new" engine which seems to be causing the problem. Based on the Diagnostics done at another mechanic, the neutral switch did not need to be replaced. Like kiawah mentioned the Gauge 10A is responsible for everything being connected (I read the Owner's manual after posting my need for help), but the short was due to the sensor that was cracked and not making a solid connection, thus blowing the fuse - hence everything not working.
 
Again I thank you for your input, glad I found this forum and will spread the word.

Re: 2000 Camry, 76K; drastically dropping mileage and fluids questions [debbie68] by superduty3

first is it a 4 or 6 cylinder. there is a reflash for the ecm for the 6. cold weather is not gonna affect milage that drastic. second your trany fluid should be changed every 30k collant every 60k. and it will not affect milage. third toyota says every 5k for oil change but i would stick to every 3k due to oil sludge. would ask dealer to run on scan tool in active mode and make sure there are no pending codes, would also check fuel curve. hope this helps.
