I am very frustrated today!!! I have a 2000 camry, 4 cylinder with only 50,000 miles. Yesterday the engine was dead...wouldn't even
crank over. I bought a new battery......still would not crank over. Removed the starter and had it checked.......starter is functioning
normal. I don't think the problem is the alternator because I just put in a new battery. My next guess would be there is a short some-
where. Has anyone had a similar problem like this before? Thank you for your input on this one.

Check the starter relay..

 

My 2000 camry still won't turn over. I have replaced the battery, pulled out the started and have it checked at auto zone. It works fine. I pulled the starter relay and had the
physics teacher at my school check all four terminals. It checked out fine. An obd II analyzer pulled up no code numbers. Does anyone have a hat trick they pull for my problem?
Thank you very much.

 

Does this car have a theft deterrent system? Are all your accessories working?

 

Does anything happen when you turn the key? Lights on dash, clicking noises, etc...

You had the starter out...did you attempt to turn the flywheel in the engine a bit?

If the engine froze up, you won't be able to move the flywheel.

If you don't have any lights on dash or clicking noises....

Is it the original key? Theft system looks for the electronic key.

Do you get headlights to work, and no dash lights? Then it's something electrical to the starter.

Could be a lot of things, do a little testing of different things, and see what does and doesn't work.
