88 camry electrical nightmare
Hi everyone i have an 88 camry that wont start by the key so i jump out the solonoid and it runs and revs up perfect but when i put it in drive it wont accelerate or rev up.it moves just slow. The seatbelts and heater and windows also quit working at same time.car was perfect before so i highly doubt trans issues.any help would be amazing thanks.

Did this happen all of a sudden or did it gradually become defiant? Any recent work done?
|
All at once.i bought it like this for super cheap.hoping its something stupid.
|
You turn the ign key to start and nothing happens, so jump solenoid?
Do stop lights work? |
if key wont work it may still be the starter motor at fault
stuff not working time to check the fuses in the engine bay and inside next plugs and leads and timing - I guess - if labouring under load drives slow if it is an an automatic sounds like the auto tranny has gone into fail safe - will only have third gear and reverse if it is an auto - you can replace that tranny computer |
It was the hidden fusible link coming from the battery fuses thanks everyone
|
Good job in finding the problem. Thanks for posting back with the fix.

zachfarmal,
I had a similar situation with my 91 Camry in September. In my case, the 80 amp main fusible link blew because of a electrical short to ground while I was driving. Everything except the engine died including warning lights - the engine still ran but slowed as the battery depleted. I barely made it home. Two questions: Is the "hidden" link you mention the AM1 fusible link (black wire in series connected to the 80 amp main fusible link (on the white wire from the battery)? Also, after you replaced the fusible link, did it ever blow again? (My link keeps blowing due to the short, which I haven't yet located.) Thanks - C-P |
It was coming of the center 80 amp fuse it hidden in wiring harness
