A: YOU SHOULD GET THE VEHICLES COMPUTER SCANNED AND CHECK FOR ANY PROBLEMS AS WELL AS CODES AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE A GOOD IDEA ON WHAT THE PROBLEM TRULY IS.

Q: Toyota Camry Brake lights do not work, even after replacing the bulbs and fuce?
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?
A: Replacing the switch is simple. Just a REAL pain in the @$$ to get to.
ADDED:
Check the relays under the hood in the power distribution box.
You may be able to swap it out with the rear window defogger relay.
Q: How do I increase gas mileage of my Toyota Camry?
I Bought a used 2001 Toyota Camry under the impression that it gives good gas mileage (about 24 mpg in city and 28 mpg on highways). However, I'm shocked to note that my camry gives about 17mpg in city. Does anyone know the cause and / or how to get this fixed.
A: Make sure the tires are inflated to the factory specs and make sure that the air filter is clean, spark plugs aren't fouled..basically just get a tune up. That's usually all you need.
Q: 1998 toyota camry and whenever I make a right turn there's a dash light that comeson during the turnwhat is it
its 1998 toyota camry and when ever I make a right turn there is a red dash light that comes on only when I turn right. What is this warning light???? The warning light is at the bottom right side of my dash below the RPM gauge.
A: Turn the ignition on with the engine off and see which light you think it is all the lights should light up for a couple seconds . Sound like your brake fluid could be a hair low and the float sensor kicks the light on for a second add a little dot 3 brake fluid .
Q: What is the 1992 toyota camry wheel specs?
I have stock steel wheels from a 1992 toyota camry LE. They are 14inch, and currently have Size 195/70 R14 91T tires on them. I know they can fit nissans, but what else? I want to be able to tell people the spacing, and what not. Please help!
A: Unfortunately, a dealership really has no need for those type of specs. We look at the VIN of the car, look up the wheel and get the part #. We just don't worry about the specs. BUT! Here they are:
Torque spec 76 ft/lbs
Wheel size 14x5.5 JJ
Bolt circle 114.3 mm
Offset 45 mm
5 lugs (but then you knew that!)
pilot diameter : 60 mm
Hope this helps.
Q: How to get rid of a Toyota Camry (1989) when auto-transmission just died. Business to take it away for cash?
I have a Toyota Camry 1989 that starts first time everytime, but the automatic transmission has died while on holidays. It is in good condition except for the auto transmission. Do I fix the transmission and sell it, or is there a business that will take it away and pay a bit of cash? What businesses are there? I've bought a new car.
I live in MacGregor (Brisbane) Australia
A: The nearest auto junkyard will probably pay a little for it.
Q: How to change interior light in 96 toyota camry?

Q: In a toyota camry hybrid, when does the electric motor turns on? Can it happen at speeds higher than 30mph?
Can the toyota camry run on electric mode if I'm on a highway?
A: I'll note that I'm basing my answer on a Toyota Prius, which uses the same THS as the hybrid Camry...
Because of how the "transmission" is set up, for speeds over 42mph the gasoline engine must be turning. That doesn't necessarily mean that it is burning fuel, though. You could be going downhill at 60mph, and neither the gasoline engine nor the electric motor will be propelling you, for example. The gasoline engine is kept at the most efficient RPM for your power demands, and any extra acceleration or power will come from the electric motor as needed. The gasoline engine will be kicked up in RPM if more power is required for a longer time period, and if it is producing too much power for your traveling demands, that excess power goes back into the battery for later use.
So basically, for what most people will see for highway speeds and terrain (interstates/freeways), yes your gasoline engine will be on, but it will be operating much more efficiently than if it didn't have the electric to assist it at speed.
Since much of my highway driving has been local state highways with speed limits of about 35mph, I can get in some good stretches with just the electric motor. :)
Q: Where can i find a copy of toyota 2004 camry user manual?
I bought a used toyota camry 2004 that did not come with a user manual. Is it available online?
And what is the difference between a user manual and a service manual?

Q: How do you replace a right front blinker on a 1993 Toyota Camry?
My boyfriend has a mildly beaten up but still well running 1993 Toyota Camry. We recently got into a minor accident in which we exchanged car paint with the other car and knocked out our right front blinker light. We didn't break the anything on the front or dent it, it just stopped working. Please help?
A: You can reach the signal light from under the bumper. You may have to remove the plastic splash guard. You can then give the bulb socket a 1/2 turn and it will come out. You probably have a bulb that is no good.
Good luck.
Q: How do I install aftermarket speakers in a 2000 Toyota Camry?
I want to install some 6x9 aftermarket rear speakers in my Toyota Camry. I already have the old speakers out, but the screw holes in the new speakers don't line up with the factory holes. How do I attach the new speakers to the car? (Also I don't have a speaker bracket.)
A: Assuming that the speaker fits securely in the opening without gaps, use self-tapping screws to mount the speaker in the deck metal. You'll just have to make your own holes.
If the speaker doesn't fit securely or if there's a gap, you'll need to fabricate or purchase a mounting bracket.
Q: Can the 2007 and the 2008 Toyota Camry play an MP3 disk?
I want to put some songs onto one CD in MP3 format, and I need to know if the 2007 and 2008 Toyota Camry can play it. I will be renting the car in a few months, and I plan on playing an MP3 disk in it, if it can handle it.
A: Absolutely. My Camry Hybrid is a 2007 and has a 6 disk changer. It will play mp3 and wma format.
Q: What is the lug pattern on a 1999 Toyota Camry?
I had a '91 Subaru Legacy and now I have a '99 Toyota Camry. The lug pattern looks the same (5 lug, star) on both rims, and I want to use the Subaru rims on the Toyota. Is this possible or would something be different about the rims? I don't want to start changing them over and waste my time if it's not going to work.
A: I bought a used Camry in Mississippi last week and saved some cash. I haven't had any problems yet. I only buy used cars. http://www.findusedcardealer.com
Q: What is the average life span of a toyota camry?
I own a 94 Toyota Camry. It was just given to me last year, w/ only 60k miles. It just broke down due to a human error (it had no coolant and the engine fried)
Is it worth replacing the engine I wonder
A: Certainly!!! Toyota's reputation is known for its longevity and dependability. You can fix the engine fairly easily. I am assuming that this is a 4 Cyl engine. You can learn a lot by doing this yourself. You will need to remove your cylinder head, have it cleaned and milled (machine shop $50-75) and install a new head gasket. Be sure to use only genuine Toyota parts. Also, be sure to use Toyota coolant, as its special formulation should maintain your new gasket, aluminum and plastic parts in your cooling system, and protect your water pump better than the "green" stuff. You should replace your timing belt at this time as well. Get a Haynes or Bentley manual and follow directions. A well kept Toyota engine will last for several hundred thousand miles with proper maintenance.. If the idea of fixing this yourself is too beleaguering, you can find a perfectly good used one at car-parts.com. Remember to flush your cooling system, either way, and stick to a good quality synthetic oil when repairs are done. Talk to you again at 260,000 miles!!! Good Luck!!
