Top 10 1989 Toyota Camry Questions & Answers

location of relay starter switch on my 2003 toyota camry

Had the same problem with an '88 Camry. Replaced the battery, distributor, and starter, but it didn't fix the problem. Then, a few years later, when the battery was getting old and tired, I replaced it with a more expensive _heavy-duty_ battery. That helped quite a bit. It didn't totally fix the problem, but made it a lot less frequent.

A mechanic I trust told me that non-OEM replacement rebuilt starters pretty much all have substandard wiring, with bad spots in the windings. A heavy-duty battery maybe cranks out enough extra amps to mostly compensate for this.

take the pannelling off around steering wheel inset a screw driver in key slot brekaway barrel to release steering lock pin then at other end of barrel take out scre and pull on wiring harness to expose a plastic barrel that will allow you to start car with a screw driver ect and you would not have steering lock as pin has been removed

There are fuses located in there places. One is under the hood. one is on the drivers side in the kick panel and another on the passenger side in the kick panel. The a/c is on the passenger side.

buy a retro fit valve for 9 bucks on ebay, then 35 bucks for new freon at walmart and go on your way. If it does not work, you need to replace the ac system anyway and probably won't, like I did not, and just drive with no ac.

There is only 1 "set" of timing marks. If there is more than 1 then someone has modified your engine components. Here is a picture of where they should be.
