1991 Camry dead key, what to do?
I put a new alternator, computer, plugs, plug wires, distributor, starter, icm, battery. The car was running good. I dropped the car off at a shop to have the transmission looked at. The shop left the key in accessory position. I have not been able to get the car to respond at all. Dead key. I am stuck. Any suggestions would be great.

It looks to be the neutral safety switch
|
Jump the starter solenoid at the small wire terminal that goes to the ign key system and determine if the engine now cranks over..

I was able to put the shifter in Neutral, turn the key while jiggling the shifter and the car started. It's a good feeling to hear it start again.
it has all of the characteristics of the Neutral Safety Switch. Starts in neutral when shifter jiggled, no reverse lights. It makes a lot of sense. It has been beginning to go bad for awhile and left me scratching my head since I bought the car 3 years ago. Intermittent non starting, ect. I put a lot of electrical parts in this car while sorting this out. The good news too, is that she purrs like a kitten. |
