why do my gauge lights and side mirros not work on a 94 xle camry?

Question

i checked the fuses, i had similar problems when i tried to install a stereo deck myself. Also my srs lights are on and my window does not open.

Answer 1

Check for power to the window switch, bad wiring harness or poor connection to motor, bad motor, bad ground connection. Gauge lights could be burned out bulbs, no power or a bad ground connection. Mirror problem could be similiar faults---check for power at the switch and also for bad ground.....if fuses are ok, then it's a wiring, ground, bad mirror or switch issue. People tend to forget that you need a good ground for a circuit to work and sometimes several circuits share a common ground point... I would start with that since 3 or 4 items usually don't go out at once unless they are powered by the same fuse. And some Japanese vehicles are wired backwards by American standards--that is, they run power to the component first and run the grounding circuit to the switches or relays to get full power at the component and make electrical contacts in switches, etc.. last longer.

time for another car friend. don't mess with this as it is old. face it jap cars don't last forever. u no n japan they don't rebuild anything? everything is replaced every 100,000 km which is 66000 miles. ur car isn't designed to last. that is why every jap car in a wreck is totalled. the jap car co's make more money selling u a new car. so but another jap car. I don't want to catch u riding n a real car, like a 57 chevy or 67 mustang. I will pop u n tha haid an take it from ya.
