problem #1

Apr 222003

Camry 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 42,655 miles
Electrical system wiring malfunctioned. This resulted in all electrical operated components failing and being inoperative, while driving. There was breakage of the wires that occurred in the wire pack which crossed between the side of the trunk and the hinge of the trunk cover at the point where the wires were flexed due to the opening/closing of the trunk cover. The problem was not immediately found due to no visible deterioration or damage to the wire pack covering at or near the point of breakage. The broken wires were ultimately found by using a faulty locator device. The problem occurred after the items were placed in the trunk, the cover closed and the vehicle was in motion. Both the front and rear side windows(which were closed at the time)could not be lowered, the sunroof (opened at the time)could not be closed, the speedometer, tachometer, and engine temperature indicators were all inoperative.
