’92 Camry....turn key, get nothing....!

Jan 20, 2005 2 Replies

My husband just purchased a brand new battery and some fuse thingy that attaches to the battery about a month ago. I went to start the car yesterday morning, turned the key and got nothing! When I turned the ignition switch off to get out of the car, it was making a clicking sound! Weird, huh? I checked under the hood to see if I could hear it from there, which I could, but couldn?t figure out what was causing it. Anyone have any ideas? Lights don?t come on, but when the door is opened the ignition bell rings. Go figure!

"Thingy"s are not allowed on Toyota vehicles. :-)

I would suspect a loose or corroded battery cable post and/or terminal. Remove, clean and re-attach both battery cables and check the connections on that "thingy" he changed. HTH, davidj92

Either a bad battery connection, or the battery is discharged. Battery discharge could be caused by a bad alternator.
