Please My Oga's In The House,help With This Car,it's Killing Me!! by JhaayYoung: 8:24am On Apr 23, 2015 |
I drive a Toyota Camry 1999, it was recently involved in an accident that affected the left fender and left wheel.. Nothing happened to the bumper, nothing at all.. After the panel beating work and mechanical work, decided to do a test drive, I noticed the rear left wheel untights itself after some minutes drive, I tightened it and it did the same, that's the first problem,.. I drove the car and parked for about 30 minutes then went back to the car to start it, there was no power not even the security indicator came up, I reconnected the batteries terminal and nothing happened,then I called a rewirw who tested it and said the wires are not well connected to the clip that connects to the battery terminal, then he losen the wire and clipped it well then Connected it, the vehicle came up. This morning again, The security light came up but it was giving a cold start, again cranking but not starting .. Not starting.. The third problem. Immediately the car ignition is turned on, the speedometer and RPM( I mean the meter beside the speedometer that has 1,2,3... Rises. The RPM rises to 3 while the speedometer rises to 70).. Fourth thing, the car jacks when I change from park to reverse... Please all brodas in the house should help.. This car is almost killing me. @siena, Gazzuzz, Ikenaa,lomomike. citiNg, please can't remeber all. Don't feel offended if I can't rememebr your moniker.. Just help a frustrated brother.. Expecting your replies.. 1 Like 1 Share |

JhaayYoung: This is already serious, normally, I try to imagine the problem then try to solve it. This time its very complex, I can't even imagine it. Please, find Gazzuzz, he's close to you. He can help you out. Meanwhile, the electricals of the car might have been compromised. DON'T drive it or else, you risk damaging various components of the car, burning up that car, or worst death due to accident or some horrible stuff. 1 Like |

I forgot to add this... Somedays before the accident... The horn stopped working so I went to a rewire since it was minor, he tried fixing it and ended up with bigger problems, wrong connections. That was when the speedometer error started.. So the speedometer issue seem closer to wrong connections.. The horn working now though.. Then the gear stopped shifting from park to drive but that was just a wire issue which a rewire fixed.. For the car jacking when engaging the gear from park to reserve some advised its the engine sit. Meanwhile the car is one of those which the thermostat has been removed, the person who sold it to me is A Kazeem himself. So by chance can that be linked to the cold start, cos yesterday when the power went out, I used a friends battery and took mine to his car, mine started his car but didn't start mine car this morning.. Some advising it's the battery, but I thinking it's something electrical which is draining the power in the battery, I don't know, just suggesting from the experience I have gathered on this forum over years. This was all before the accident.. THE CAR ISNT FIT TO MOVE FROM ADO TO LAGOS.. Gazzuzz would have been the solution.. It's stock here is Ado Ekiti. |

Follow this steps and your car will be ok 101per. Remove left side fender(drivers side) Remove the plastuc sheild under the fender There's a large harness that runs from the inside of the vehicles cabin to the large fusebox on the left. Dissconnect the harness from the fuse box Now remove the sheild on the harness so you can see the wires inside the harness You will notice some are cut while some are bridged. Put them in order (they are colour coded it should be easy) Thank me when its all done. 2 Likes |

I will try the step Oga Gazzuzz gave, at Oga wisdom, the accident didn't affect any component inside the bonnet not even the compressor nor radiator, even the bumper didn't have the slightest damage, just the left Fender and left wheel, arm. Tie rod absorber. I will drive for a while and see if problem persist... I am so lucky to have caring brodas here... I feel cared for.. Thanks a lot 1 Like |

UPDATE ON THE VEHICLE. My nuts were thightly bolted then it never loosened again.. A rewire adviced the battery is cool and alternator cool, said cos of the accident and parking for few days without the battery charging weakened it, He advised I go on a long journey or drive for long to charge, still watching that though but there seem to be improvement, the malfunction in speedometer and RPM is caused by wrong wiring by a Kazeem when tryna fix my horn but I am not skilled enough to do the DIY Gazzuzz recommended and all these Kazeems never listen when you tell them things, they tell you not to teach them their job, soon I will find a way to try it.. At the moment, everything seem fine just my Hooked sit belt due to the accident.. Thanks for the advise!!! |

GAZZUZZ:. My brother drove the car and it had a problem and he took it to a mechanic and there i guess they changed the brain box and he never knew. (His Story). Ever since the car had not worked. Now the car has been parked, i had contacted my rewire to check he has done that but all the brain boxes he bought are not compatible with my European model Honda...and this is given me reason for concerns. |

Good Day everyone. I noticed my gear doesn't select immediately I change it from park to drive early in the morning, except I carefully and gently press the accelerator. To explain better, If I change the gear from park to Drive and press the gas pedal to drive, it Revs instead of moving until I gently press the gas pedal but it selects well and drives well. I suspect the culprit is wrong ATF. My Mechanic used ABRO the last time so I searched for the right ATF for my 1999 toyota camry and from earlier threads I discovered Mobil is okay since it's Dextron 11/111.. Please do I buy the ATF and take the car to the mechanic, have him drain the Current ATF and replace with the new MObil and how many Mobil oil should I buy.. Please for my power steering, Do I use the ABRO ATF for it, I learnt from previous threads that it works fine for the power steering. |
