1997 toyota camry drove home park in garage turn off and was going to go some where and now it won't start, has a new batt but it won't turn over. it make a sound like has a death batt and I went and got a new one but still won't turn over

you will need to go to autozone have them read the problem free

It will not move in Reverse either? It could be

- the shift cable has broken
- the parking lock pawl has broken
- park/neutral position switch faulty
- transmission manual valve faulty

I think one of the first 3. There isn't much you can do except have it towed to a transmission shop.

they either need to be cleaned or u might need new plug wires

i'me asumeing the batt is ok....turn on lights, do they dim when you try to start engine? if not .bad selonoid on new starter..was it rebuilt? it happens. Billy Starr

If the battery has a dead cell it wont I would try a new batt first

sounds like a broken timing belt,timing belts like to break during engine cranking and engine shut down. there are inspection holes in the timing cover,if you can't determine, remove top half of timing cover and check belt for slap,if there's slap,it's broke.

Steering wheel is probably in a bind. Try turning the steering wheel slightly while turning the key.

Do you have auto lights when it gets dark out? When they come on is it in a parking garage or home garage where its dark If so chances are your switch/relay unit is bad. (or do they come on in daylight too)?

Hi Mike
Try lightly tapping the starter with a spanner and at the same time turning the key to start, if it starts you need the starter overhauled.

The wiper motor has a "transmission" and the park function isnt working. Replace the motor.
