Go here and enter the info for your vehicle. Since I have no idea if you have a 4 or 6 cylinder engine you must look it up then click the photo icon next to the serpentine belt listing. They have belt routing drawings there.

I have worked on this and they put a clutch system ( only thing I can think of to call it) On the cam shaft to give it variable speed. It is like having to replace the timing belt. this is a costly fix. not for the novice . have it check at a garage, it could be an electrical problem, the on I did was. The part I believe was $300.00 plus. So take it to a mechanic that you can trust

I have a 2007 camry and my driver side visor keeps coming down in my face while driving. I contacted Toyota and they told me that there was no recall. I said that is a very bad safety hazard. Toyota told me that to have it fixed it will cost me $130.00. I work in a automotive parts factory and when we get calls on bad parts that we have manufactuer we replace them. And the parts are for Toyota but the are not the visors. COME ON TOYOTA YOU CAN RECALL THESE BROKEN VISORS!!!!!

I have a 2007, Camry XLE, V6.


Thought I post this as some of you might be looking for an answer.


So, if you recently overpacked your trunk, you might have knocked a bar in the trunk loose. If the stuff in your trunk presses the bar against the rear speakers, it will short circuit your JBL amp located under the front passenger seat.


This happened to me and I smelled some electrical burning while driving. Also, I felt an electrical field in the car. You should bring it to the dealer immediately, but they might quote you some expensive price.


If you want to buy time to research like I did, you need to first move your passenger front seat to the most forward position. Next, disconnect your battery by disconnecting the negative (black) wire only. You have to disconnect the battery because even if the car is turned off, there is an electric current going to the amp.


Next, pull off the black cover of the amp. you need to disconnect the three wire inserts by depressing the button on top of each wire. Then, disconnect the ground wire by loosening the screw. Finally, you can unscrew the main screw that keeps the amp in place.


Be careful as I believe the amp still has charge in it. Don't leave it anywhere as I left it on my desk and a few days, I heard some burning noise and then a strong electrical odor. I ended up leaving it out in my back yard.


The other thing is that you need to check if your fuse is blown under the car hood. Most likely it is. You need to go to the car store and buy a micro profile fuse. There are three different fuses out there and the one you need for the Camry is the micro profile fuse one 25a. The back cover of the fuse box will tell you where the amp one is. You can tell that it's burnt if the connection no longer is bridged together underneath the plastic. Inside the fuse cover, you should have a tool to help you pull the fuses out.


I ended up looking online for a used amp with the same model number, 86280-OW390. Although, this model has been replaced by a newer one: 86280-OW391


It costs around $665 if you bought it new online. I found a recycling used parts place for $220. I read someone was able to buy it for $125. Ebay was selling it for $350+ when I looked.


So I figured I'll buy the used one and see if it works. If my speakers blew out, then I would have to replace everything. I would have sold the old one on ebay for the price I bought it or more.


In the end, the old one worked from a 2009 camry and I am pretty happy.


Last, I wrapped electrical tape around the bars in the trunk where it could have made contact with the speakers. There are two bars and I wrapped the possible contact points there too just to be safe.


I hope this helps someone out there. It was a headache to do, but glad it's resolved now. I also read that some 2007 camries can catch on fire. This was definitely a potential candidate.

Having a similar issue. I insert a disc and it says reading disc and just keeps blinking that. Never plays. I push eject and disc will come out. This happens with all discs. Will try laser lens cleaner thing.

All I can tell you is watch the dash display for an indicator light that blinks on with the beep. My car does this when the "ECO" light comes on.
