2006 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA Electrical System Problems

Copper wiring on driver seat caught fire causing damage to driver door driver harness underneath the dash and electric seat mechanism also caused staining to the fabric and interior

ABNORMAL OPERATION BETWEEN ACCELERATOR AND THROTTLE. TECH TESTED THROTTLE BODY AND TESTS PASSED. TECH TESTED ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND VALUES OUT OF RANGE. TECH WOULD THINK THIS COULD CAUSE A DTC TO SET IF NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY BUT THERE WERE NO CODES. AT RANDOM MOMENTS, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. CANNOT GET ANSWERS. OCCURS MOST OFTEN AFTER IDLING AT A LIGHT THEN STARTING TO ACCELERATE IT WON'T MOVE. THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER THE YEARS SO WE HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE AND FILTER CLEANED TWICE IN THE PAST BUT PROBLEM IS PERSISTENT AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED SMOKE AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW OPENED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE WINDOW CONTROL ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS MELTING DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 173,000.

THIS IS A SOLUTION TO A VEXING PROBLEM. THE "GHOST IN THE ECU" PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED WITH SIMPLE INEXPENSIVE TECHNOLOGY. IT IS INSTALLED ON A VEHICLE IN SO CAL (NEAR DISNEYLAND), AVAILABLE FOR DEMONSTRATION. GETTING THE WORD OUT WITHOUT BEING OVERRUN BY MEDIA IS A DELICATE BALANCE, SO I CONTACTED YOU FOLKS THROUGH THIS FORM. THE TECHNOLOGY IS PATENT PENDING, AND LICENSING OR ASSIGNING IT IS THE GOAL. PLEASE DON'T CONDEMN ME FOR BEING OPEN AND HONEST. *TR

POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE IS CORRODED, INCLUDING THE WIRES CONNECTED TO THE BATTERY TERMINAL. CORROSION WAS A LARGE MOUND WHEN WE OPENED HOOD TO ADD WASHER FLUID. TRIED TO REMOVE CORROSION AND DISCOVERED THE ENTIRE CONNECTION TO BATTERY TERMINAL HAS DISINTEGRATED. RIGGED IT UP WITH $3 PART FROM AUTOZONE. DEALER STATES THEY'VE NEVER HAD ANY SUCH PROBLEMS. DEALERSHIP HAS THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN UNDER THE HOOD OF MY CAR. I AM THERE EVERY 5000 MILES....LIKE CLOCKWORK. CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DIDN'T SEE SIGNS OF THIS ON LAST VISIT. THEY WANT $3100 TO REPLACE THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS! WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I DIDN'T CATCH THIS? IT WOULD HAVE SHORTED OUT AND POSSIBLY CAUGHT FIRE. *TR
