Expert Answers about Toyota Camry
- Why is the Image from the # RVS-MV1 Showing Up Inverted on My Monitor?
- I went ahead and reached out to my tech at RVS, and he confirmed that the most common installation issue with the Rear View Safety Backup Camera # RVS-MV1 is that it is installed "right-side up" instead of "upside down." The # RVS-MV1 is meant to be installed with the camera hanging below the surface as opposed to mounting on top of the surface.
I went ahead and attached a photo of how the camera should install on your vehicle. Please let me know if you are still having problems with...

- It looks like the brake light and running light wires on harness # 118405 plug into the same location on a 2009 Toyota Camry. Check the converter wiring going into the converter to see if power is at that point since it is already at the tail light. If it is not on the brown wire going into the converter then check the connectors for bent or broken pins. If they you find a broken pin that harness will need to be replaced.
A bent pin could be very carefully bent back. Make sure that the...

- The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # C12107 is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Toyota Camry. It sounds like the holes may have been misdrilled at the manufacturer, but it is a higher probability that there could have been a slight bend in the mounts during shipping as this does occur from time to time. Since you have stripped out the screw and the weldnuts, the best thing to do at this point is get a screw tap and matching grade 5 bolt from a local hardware...

- Most powered RV steps are wired up so that if you turn on the RV the steps will automatically retract. If yours is extending instead that would indicate that this circuit is wired backwards. Do you know what steps you have?

- It sounds like you have a ground issue. When the headlights are on, the highest amperage draw is placed on the wiring system and, a faulty ground will show at this time. Make sure you have good metal to metal contact. Paint and corrosion can act as insulators, so make sure the grounds are touching clean metal. I would check all of the ground connections on the trailer.
First, check the ground at the trailer tongue. Take the ground loose and clean the connection point on the trailer and...

- If the lights on your vehicle aren't working and you suspect that trailer wiring part # 118482 is the reason for this the first thing you will want to do is try removing the harness to see if the problem goes away. If so, then the problem is either internal of the converter (sounds like it based on the crack on the box), or the connectors of the harness just aren't making a solid enough connection.
Modules can stop working if they short out. What you can do is test for voltage on the input...

- The bolts provided with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 36336, are the correct bolts for your 2000 Toyota Camry, see instructions link. You are most likely running into corrosion from road grime and salt since your vehicle has some age. We have help videos, see links, that detail how to go about cleaning the vehicles weld nuts for installing the hitch.
You may find that a weld nut will break off when trying to install the hitch, despite your best efforts, if this happens we have a video...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring with Marker Lights Working But Tail Lights Will Not
- Without knowing what kit you are using, I suggest trying a wire from the ground of the tail lights directly to the negative terminal of the battery. If this works, then you know you have a ground issue. If this is the case, I recommend making sure the ground connection is bare metal to metal at even the hardware of the light because they often ground through the mounting hardware. If that doesn't work, run a jump wire from the ground to the main trailer ground.
I also suggest cleaning...

- Reverse lockout solenoids will have two wires as you have seen. One wire is grounded to the trailer and one wire is attached to a reverse light wire coming from the tow vehicle. On most lockout solenoids it does not matter which wire is grounded and which wire is connected to the reverse light wire.
Since I am not sure what solenoid you are using or how old it is, I recommend tracing both wires as far as you can. The ground wire should be attached to the frame somewhere on the trailer....
view full answer... - Trailer Brake Lights and Turn Signals Do Not Work with Wiring Harness C55358 on a 1997 Toyota Camry
- It sounds like you have a bad ground on the trailer. First, to eliminate the vehicle or wiring harness as the problem, use your circuit tester to test the 4-Way on harness # C55358. If the signals are correct coming out and going into the black converter box, then the issue is on the trailer.
If you find the signals are wrong going into the converter, then there is a problem with the vehicle wiring that needs to be addressed. And if the signals are correct going into the converter but...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Potential Overload on Curt Wiring Harness for Taillights Not Working
- If the draw of your taillights and side clearance lights combined exceeds the 6 amp maximum, it is quite possible the converter box did short circuit. Short circuiting at the box is the way the harness protects from overload.
It is also important to note that the harness' 12V power wire must be connected directly to the vehicle's battery, through the supplied fuse holder, not to an auxiliary 12V power source elsewhere on the car.
If you find that the taillights and clearance lights are...
