97 camry 2.2L won't start. HELP
 

Okay, very weird. Some accessories power when the keys in. power windows, yes. instrument lights, yes. radio, no. power door locks, no. parking lights, yes. head lights, no. horn, no. alarm sets and goes off but with no horn. Car won't start. battery is good. starter/solinoid is good. seems all the little fuses are good. turn the key and no power drain to seem to start. the first symptom was i got in the car to start it and got nothing, so I hit the battery terminal. a little spark on the terminal when i hit it then it started no problem. this happened twice. no such luck now. no more little spark at the terminal. i have cleaned the terminals. no luck. didn't see a fusable link in the positive lead. but why would i still get power to some things? any recommendations greatly appreciated.

Check the cable connections. Where the battery terminal connects to the battery cable.

Your problem is not your battery...its actually your starter motor just tap it a couple times then get a jump from someone else or just go to a auto zone and get the battery serviced for free...same thing was happening to me and i fixed my problem by tapping the starter motor..hope this helps:cool:

tap the starter or replace the starter? a new starter is $$ but it will fix the problem.

Problem Solved. Turned out to be a bad connection on the underside of the fuse block under the hood. Not sure exactly which one but after 45 min of testing with an electrical tester, we pulled the inner box out of the housing and POOF! like majic, everything started working again. No problems since. Thanks.
