No gauges, can't shift

When the tail lights stop functioning the vehicle will NOT shift out of park. Have all the Ground straps and connections checked this causes all kinds of electrical issues.

So now ...where is this vehicle. Did you have it towed ? Sounds like someone needs to start checking fuses and relays.

It was the alternator fuse. Though when I ran a tester on the old one when it was intact, it rolled my driver side window down. Car runs and drives like normal again, but the window is stuck down. Pretty sure the motor is shot.

Interesting...that must have been SOME "TESTER" you used to check that Alt. Fuse. Did you notice any SPARKS or SMOKE when you ran the test? Well....now the question is ...what made the Alt fuse go bad?

Well I didn't come here for smart ass answers, I can tell you that much.

No offense intended. My apologies. So...is it my understanding you now have a window..... driver side window, that is down and will not roll up?

It's ok, I'm just pissed at this. Yes that is the case. I have the door panel off and the motor is warm. I was thinking of replacing the motor, but seeing as the window is all the way down I cannot get to the inside bolt to take the window away from the regulator.

Alright I'll try that out in a little while. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well I jumped the window motor. Forgot I had a little marine battery charger here. Window is up now. As soon as I plugged the wires back from the motor, the window started rolling down again. So therefore I just took those wires out. I can deal with no window on the driver side. I'm assuming that means there's a short somewhere? Also forgot to mention that I could not roll down rear passenger with main switch. Could the switch be bad and that's causing the driver side to automatically roll down?

OK...if all the other windows can operate properly with their individual switches...then it appears you have a bad Master Switch which is located in that door ...driver Door...you are working on. Price out a new one vs. one from a junk yard. There are some tests we can run at that Master Switch...but things get complicated and you need a wiring diagram for that circuit to reference. It might be interesting to Google your Make Model Year and" Master window switch replacement Video".

Yeah all windows work on their respective switch. I can use the master for both passengers, just not the drivers side ones. I have a cousin who own a few yards I'll give him a call. From what I've seen, switches aren't cheap through stores. Thank you for all your help and sorry for the ass remark, the window was driving me nuts haha.

No problem....there are times when I'm working on something that is giving me headaches.....and...the only person around to "vent" my frustrations to is.....Yup....Good Wife. Guess what she calls me? Ass_ _ _ _

husband just changed the alternator in his 98 camry and now the ac wont work and it wont switch gears \

does anyone know what this may be? he did say it sparked when he was putting the alternator back in.

Alternator Fuse deff fixed my problem and i bought a new mini fuses to replace all the fuses in the fuse box in engine bay and fuse's inside too and make sure your radio does not have a fuse in the back of it stock ones wont unless there is a amplifier attached to it. and when i replaced everything i found out that it did better with some electric cleaner and some silicone spray adhesive keeps all electrical components clean and the silicone spray keeps them from drying out and cracking

My Toyota Camry I Crank it up and put it in gear and it won't move what could that be

Changed my alternator and thought I disconnected the battery but it wasn’t so it sparked, after the instal the vehicle starts but no lights on dash are on and it won’t shift to drive any answers or advice?
