Well my problem is, last week I was bumping to the market then system stopped working so i checked on it turned the car off and went to back amp was on and all but no thump. took keys out locked the doors and went shopping, came back out unlooaded to back seats, got in the car, tried to start the car but nothing, thecar didnt make a sound or start up when i turned the ignition, but when my car doors are open the opened door lights in the car and on the dash goes on but the rest of the dash light and ect wasn't on, my headlights turned on but the dash didn't like it's supposed to. was stuck at the market for 4 hours before car started after playing around with fuses and phoenix gold circuit breaker. Today I had to go work so i went in car and try starting it and it did the same thing so i got a ride from someone else. An hour ago i got home tried to play with it again, the circuit breaker circuit connection wasn't clicked on i noticed so i tried to start the car again with the breaker off and nothing but when i clicked it in place from off to on and tried to start the car it started! so i then did another thing which was not start the car but had the key in the position when the cars started so engine was off but dash and everything should be on as if the engine is running, closed my door everything is on i broke the connection on the circuit breaker and everything turned off like before but when i put it back on i can hear my car's dash turn on and also hear a clicking noise from the fuse and relay box of the car everytime i turned off and on the connection on the circuit breaker. Anyone knows why this is happenning? The car is a 1992 toyota camry. |

Gold Member Username: JohnfiacA-ToWn, 9515 thumpin... What u bumpin? Post Number: 3587 Registered: Mar-06 | Im a little confused about the layout as well.... is the circuit break between the alternator and the battery then, or between your car power\amp power? If that is the case that can be your problem. "Doing a BIG 3 properly should never "f@ck" up your car." It will only make it better! |
