@paloma9960 I realize this is an old question and may not be of any relevance to the OP but may be somebody else will be looking at the same issue. Here is what this all looks like

I have a 2001 Toyota Camry. I recently had to have a new brake booster installed about 4 weeks ago. Car was driving with no issues and then a few days ago out of no where when I was coming up to a red light I stepped on the brake to slow down. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor. I had to keep pumping the brake pedal to try and slow it down. The car slowed down however it did not come to a complete stop. I had to use my Emergency Brake to completely stop. I nursed the car back home (issues continued all the way) and I have not driven it since. I checked all areas where brake fluid could possibly be leaking from and have found no leaks. I have also continued to check the main brake fluid resevoir and the level of fluid has not dropped at all. I am trying to find out what is most likely the issue and/or if the recent brake booster repair could have anything to do with the current problem

@cubanpete702 since your brake fluid level does not change you need to check the brake booster first and then the master cylinder. Check that the pushrods from brake pedal is mounted properly and that your brake booster isconnected properly to your master cylinder.

Dale Trivett it sounds like an issue with your ignition switch or the ECU. For an ECU error you would need to have it scanned. To check your ignition switch use the attached image and a multimeter and check for continuity as shown

Toyota Camry 1998
1. I have a Z-shaped wire loose which I assume goes into a hole somewhere in the back of the dial that controls the heat / AC unit and can't fine the place to stick it in. Need to turn off the heat in the summer and switch to AC.
2. I took the unit apart to find the control mechanism that changes air flow from dash vent to floor to defrost and various combinations. Can't find that either. I've been told it is way up inside the dashboard but can't reach that far. do I need to take the entire dash cover off to get to it?

Fans operate when supplied with external 12 volts. Will not come on automatically when radiator water gets too hot and car overheats.

@henry2 possibly your fan relay or the coolant temperature switch. Disconnect the coolant temp switch located on the bottom of the radiator and see if fans come on. When the switch is disconnected, the fans should run all the time when the engine is running. If that still does not work then you will have to suspect the sensor for the computer. It is a bit cumbersome to test it by placing it in hot boiling water and testing it with an ohmmeter to see if it closes the contact at the right temp. I just replace mine ;-) After that check the relay to see if it works.

my 1999 toyota camry speedometer and mileage not working, and my car movement is bad .
Rep: 785.1k

@uche4706 your car does not have a speedometer cable. Your Toyota's speedometer is controlled by a Speed Sensor (VSS)that is attached to the top of the bell housing. There is a spindle that matches up with the Flywheel, and there is an electronic pickup that detects how fast the Flywheel is spinning and Sends the signal to the Cluster. If the electronic pickup part of the Speed Sensor is not detecting how fast the Flywheel is spinning, your speedometer will not work. Now if your speedometer is not working, it could be the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) but also the cluster itself (which would be my first choice since a failed VSS or ECM would most likely trigger a "Service engine Light" OBD code) as well as the ECM. You do want to check on this. The instrument cluster comes out with 5 screws. The speedometer assembly comes out with 5 screws. Look under the odometer display for the speedo chip, and right next to it, is the ceramic resonator. You can try to bend the resonator over about 45 degrees. If that doesn’t fix it then buy a new speedometer assembly. If unsure you can always post some good images with your question which will allow us to see what you see. Use this guide Adding images to an existing question for that. Not sure what you mean by the “car movement is bad”. So, we would need more information on that.

If the cable/terminals to the battery isn't long enough to reach the post, can I purchase an extension to make it longer ???

@linnyk did it fit before? There should be no reason to have a short battery cable. Make sure that you have the right battery and have it in the right orientation. Batteries are not all build the same. Sometimes the post are on the opposite ends, so make sure that the battery you have is indeed for your vehicle. If it is, try to turn it around and see if that fits.

Hi.
I have now destroyed my cdplayer thanks to a shortcut in my rear speakers.
How do i change the rear speakers wthout destroying anything at the back of my car?
Can someone give me a step-by-step writedown on how to do it?

The package tray needs to come out in order to replace the speaker covers or speakers.
1. Remove the 3 bolts attaching the deck to the frame
2. Remove the side panels that hold down the deck so you really have to take these off. They should just snap off.
3. Remove the high mounted stop light.
4. Either remove the back seats or try to fold the back seats down and see if that gives you enough room.
5. To remove the deck you first need to go in through your trunk and you'll see 4 white clips. Push these up with some pliers, then from the inside just tug it away. Be careful shimmying the tray out, since you do not want to break it.
6. Remove old speakers. They should be held down by 3 screws.

My 2000 toyota camry is wobbling when driving. It's really scary because there was noises coming from the front passenger tire area and now this wobbling like the car is off balance, plus my steering wheel is shaking and pulls to the left. What could it be?
Rep: 785.1k

@linda75783 there are a few possibilities. First check the tires and the rims. Take it to get those balanced if they are still decent. If not, replace your tires. Next would be suspension issues. Bad tie rods, balljoints and bad wheel bearings are all a possibility. Take a look under there and see if you can make out any obvious damage. I’d start with the wheels (tire/rim)

Having engine problems, where it knocks and overheats. Mechanic says it's a crankshaft. Trying to see what other size of engines I can swap it for to get it running asap.
Thank you for your help

@aprilmarie we need to at least know if it is a 4 cyl 2.2 liter 5sfe engine or a 6 cyl 3.0 liter 1mzfe. The importance here is that there are many engines that will fit from the block perspective but some swaps will require changing the heads (due to anti-knock sensors etc) and oil pump as well. So it may be a PITA to do it. You may be better off finding an engine that was meant for your model Camry.
Oops! I'd like to change my mind.
