Question type: General
I just bought a used Toyota Camry XLE 2002 and I have been driving it with
no major complaints one day after driving it all day I parked it and an hour
later needed to go pick up a relative and the car wouldn't start.. I put the key
in and have full battery power and a jump won't start it all the lights radio etc
work when I turn the key I can clearly hear the fuel pump but the car doesnt
even turn over then after setting over night it started right up then a week
later it did this again im stuck right now what can I do ?

If this vehicle has AT....automatic trans. You might have a faulty Park Neutral switch. Try shifting frkm Park all the way down then back up to Park. Restat and get back with results. Also....there is a START RELAY located under Hood. Tap that relay with a small screwdriver while someone else attempts a restart.
It didnt work I tried both things..Any more suggestions?
Ok...we would start the diagnosis using a Digital Volt Meter at the battery and working our way through the starter motor circuitry. Absent this special equipment ....you might consider removing both battery terminals and cleaning them with a wire brush made for this purpose. There are many videos on line describing this procedure.
I tried all this stuff and decided to replace the starter well got it in and still wont start im going crazy trying to figure this out
My neighbor and I both tried to get the starter relay fuse out but it wont budge how in the heck do you get it out
Could it have anything to do with a security system? It doesnt seem to work but the panic button and locks and stuff work?
Indeed....the security system could be an issue. The Digital Meter indicated above is needed for diagnosis. How many wires do you see on the starter motor.? Are they all the same size?
I dont know how many wires because its all ready installed and the old one taken back for core charge before I found it it wouldnt work
