Electrical issues are particularly hard to troubleshoot by email. To properly troubleshoot this kind of problem, begin with the battery. You can get it tested at Autozone or Advance Auto for free. If okay, move to the alternator - it can be tested at Autozone and Advance Auto, too. Just...

Not sure about the fuel gauge light staying on, but to answer your question regarding the location of the vapor vent valves/solenoid on a 2005 Corolla, here is what the Haynes Repair Manual says (page 6-12): "The fuel tank vapor pressure sensor monitors changes in pressure inside the...

Congratulations - That's good troubleshooting! You undoubtedly saved yourself a bunch. There was a time when Toyota was liberal in providing electrical and mechanical info but they and the other car manufacturers, notably Honda, now want to sell it to you...and their manuals are not cheap.

Ditto on 3ddie's reply to you. You have the wrong forum. Anyway, can't see any place in your pic where the tail light is broken.

A few other thoughts: In starting to troubleshoot, check that you did not wire the accessory directly to the battery even though you may have connected it through the fusebox or spliced into a line. Even if the device is turned off, it may seem that way but could be drawing current to maintain...

Parasitic current draw is measured in milliamperes (mA), with a meter in series with the battery. Apparently you are taking voltage readings, e.g., you say .3v across your dome light. Do you mean .3 mA? This is way too low for a modern car. If you mean .3 amperes, that is way too high (300 mA)...

I also suspect the auto garage (or dealer) is overcharging or, at least, charging for non-essential work listed in scheduled maintenance that is merely checking items, such as fluid levels, you could have done that yourself. Since your Corolla is 14 years old with 135,000 miles (that's only...

Actually, I have bought/owned 5 Toyotas since 1971 71 Corona Mark II* 91 Camry 92 Previa* 2010 Corolla 2013 Corolla 2017 Corolla *no longer have All of these cars were bought new. The first 3 cars all have or had well over 200,000 miles on them - I still have the 91 Camry will almost...

Speedkar9, Thanks for posting this excellent series of photos. It's a great teaching point for my kids learning to drive. I believe it was up until the very early 1960s that laminated glass was used in all of the car windows but then auto makers changed to tempered glass except for the...

This part looks like it is used to pull on the door lock mechanism to allow opening the door. If you are still figuring out this problem, you might get a better idea of how the part fits and how to install it by looking into the interior of the driver's side door. You might be able to do this...

John, I could not access the link you cited, but I surmised that it required a person to blow into the booster or suck air from it. Either way, it would be surprising that any person would have lungs powerful enough to simulate enough vacuum (or atmospheric pressure) in a brake booster and hold...

John, First, did you have this problem before you installed new rear brakes, new calipers, rotors and pads? If proper re-bleeding does not solve the problem and you can see no leaks or loss of fluid in the brake fluid reservoir, then the master cylinder is high on the suspect list. If you do...

Just another thought occurred to me about the installing of a replacement master cylinder that was not mentioned in the original posting. The master cylinder must be correctly bled before it is installed - this is not the same as bleeding the brake lines. There are several videos on YouTube on...

Sounds like you have essentially rebuilt almost all your entire brake system so it is not hard to envision your frustration. At this point, I suggest you carefully recheck the replacement items (e.g., brake booster, master cylinder, rear brake cylinders) - did you use new, brand-name parts...
