2005 Toyota Camry Solara - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

you most likely wont start it without a key, if it has a factory immobiliser the key has a transducer in the base of it that activates & deactivated the immobiliser when it is put in or pulled out of the ignition switch.......hope this helps.....cheers

Look for a black plastic box about 4 x 6 inches under the hood, usually near the battery. This houses relays and larger fuses. the underside of the cover will identify purpose of each element. there are test procedures for fuses, use alligator clips and a battery charger for power. the contacts can be tested with an ohmmeter.

When the check engine light comes on it automaticly turns on the trac and vsc light, diagnose your check engine light to fix the vehicle.

First,as you travel over a rough road that causes the rattle apply the brakes slightly,is the rattle gone now?If so it's loosely mounted brake pads and/or worn brake caliper mounting bolts/sliders. Rattle still there with your foot on the brake?Then it's usually the sway bar links and/or sway bar bushings. To check this sway bar noise,disconnect the sway bar links and tie the bar up/out of the way and try that same road. No noise now? address sway bar bushings and/or links. Still noise?Might be struts. If someone tells you,.you have loose lower control arm bushings,have them show you the play in the bushings before you spend any $$$.
