![]() Nowadays, individual LEDs will often make up the dash lights, so it's incredibly uncommon to see part of the dash that's larger than one of these lights go dim. This is a problem that is generally seen on vehicles that are a few years old or older, and that's due to the kind of technology used. If in doubt, however, you should contact your specialist workshop in order to have your engine starting problems finally eliminated.The Symptom: Dash Is Partly Dark The Cause Regular maintenance will help you prevent such problems. We have given you some pointers here on where you can / should start troubleshooting. However, you shouldn’t just bury your head in the sand, but try to get to the bottom of the cause. If your vehicle does not start, it is more than annoying. Then replace the affected components or seals in order to permanently eliminate the problem. If you find moisture where it doesn’t belong, you can use a cloth to wipe dry or a hair dryer. Check all cables in the high and low voltage range, especially your ignition distributor. If you want to eliminate such a fault, you have to find the leak through which the moisture penetrates. In the high-voltage area, penetrating moisture after a downpour or a visit to the car wash can result in the current not flowing as intended, but taking a different route. If your vehicle does not start when it is wet, this is often due to leakage currents in the area of your electrical engine ignition system. In the case of a diesel, it is also possible that the glow plugs are defective and do not generate enough heat. ![]() For example, you should pay attention if you have to make several attempts to start your car. The motor starter usually wears out over time, so that a corresponding failure is often announced in advance. If you have excluded the alternator as the cause, because your car is despite a fully charged battery (possibly with a suitable external charger) does not start, the starter may be the cause. So what can you do if your car won’t start despite a new battery? Toyota Camry XV70 battery It is also important that not only is the battery OK, but that it is also correctly charged by the alternator. When starting the engine, it is not just the voltage supply from the starter battery that plays a decisive role. If you want to start an old Camry with diesel engine by pushing it, you must also ensure that the glow plugs are supplied with sufficient power by the battery.Ĭar does not start despite the new battery With an automatic gearbox, pushing does not work because of the torque converter. Almost all modern petrol engines have a catalytic converter which could be damaged by unburned fuel when pushed. In the past, you could often start gasoline engines by pushing and switching on the ignition, but this procedure is no longer recommended today. If your car only clicks when you turn the ignition key to start, the cause is often a defective or soon to fail starter. In case of doubt, it is worth checking the sensors with a multimeter and possibly replacing your spark plugs. Spark plug defects can also lead to such a problem. If these values are not correct, this can prevent the engine from starting. The data from these sensors are used to record the corresponding temperatures. If your car does not start when the vehicle engine is already warm, defective sensors in the intake air or in the cooling circuit are common causes. Such a problem occurs more and more in cold outside temperatures. If, on the other hand, you drive a petrol engine, a discharged or defective starter battery can be considered in addition to a lack of fuel. In addition, with this type of vehicle, the car does not start due to a malfunction of the glow plug. However, it becomes problematic if you rarely use your car and you still have summer diesel in the tank in winter. You can get this type of fuel automatically at the usual petrol stations in winter. The so-called winter diesel contains additives so that it does not become too thick or even solid in the cold. If you drive a diesel vehicle (older Camrys), think about the amount of fuel you have in the tank first. However, a click indicates that your starter has given up. If the starter moves normally and your car does not start, there may be a problem with the ignition system or the fuel supply. In this case, you should get help starting and replace your battery and / or alternator if necessary. The classic cause is an empty starter battery. ![]() ![]() If all the noises are missing, a defect in the area of the starter or its power supply is possible. If you only hear a click, the starter moves little or normally, or there is no noise at all. In the next step you should find out what happens when you turn the ignition key. You should also think about whether you have misfueled. A quick check is, for example, whether there is enough fuel. First of all, you should try to isolate the cause. ![]()
