Figured out what the problem was... u need to undo the speedometer cable under the bonnet 1st, then u can slowly pull urban odometer cluster out and the remove the cable from the back of urban odometer and then u can change the globes.

Car won't start

Toyota Corolla 2010 Carolla 52000 miles
Bought car 3 weeks ago from dealership as is. Car was fine until 2 days ago battery was dead, which is brand new, alt good. Noticed that the pass air bag light was blinking every 2 seconds. Wondering if this is normal never noticed it on before. They only thing changed in car was radio didn't work, which they replaced a week ago. Wondering if this air bag light could have drained battery?

Car is still having issues
Chrischick from United States 2 years ago
Car did start after I charged battery 100%, but it was dead 12 hrs later. Never noticed the passenger air bag light flashing after removing the key. Also I had no problem with car for 2 weeks but when dealership replaced factory radio 6 days later is when car wouldn't start. Alt and new battery is good per them. My ? something is drawing power when car sits. A battery shouldn't die when it sits overnight.

It's just your door open indicator. If you hit the trunk button and it didn't open its stuck. Just open the trunk and close it and the red car will disappear and stop beeping g.

- Not Working: Break Lights, Tail Lights, Dash Lights, Blinkers, Shift Out of Park
- Functional: Fuses, Tail-light Bulbs, Hazard Blinkers, Interior Lights, Engine Starts/Runs, Dashboard Controls, Drives w/Manually Releasing Shift Interlock

I can only imagine it's a relay somewhere? However, I cant find anything on the inter-web that helps. I even removed the glove box because many web sites state that as a relay box location...nope.

Did I mention that this is my wife's car? Did I also mention that my car is a Ford, and so is my truck? Neither of which have any of these kind of dumb problems?!

It's possible that there is an issue with the dashboard cluster itself, or with the wiring or sensors that provide input to the cluster. It could also be a problem with the car's computer or other electrical components. Without more detailed information or a diagnostic check, it's difficult to say for sure what the issue is.

Engine shakes

Bruce from United States a year ago
The symptoms you described, such as the tachometer moving up and down, the exhaust emitting black smoke, and the engine shaking and slowing down and speeding up by itself, could be caused by a variety of issues.
Here are a few things you can try:

Check the fuel system. A problem with the fuel system, such as a clogged fuel filter or a malfunctioning fuel pump, could cause the engine to run poorly and experience shaking and misfiring.
Check the ignition system. A problem with the ignition system, such as faulty spark plugs or a malfunctioning ignition coil, could cause the engine to run poorly and experience shaking and misfiring.
Check the engine oil level. Low engine oil level can cause the engine to run poorly and experience shaking.
Check the engine timing. If the engine timing is off, it can cause the engine to run poorly and experience shaking and misfiring.
If you are unable to identify the source of the problem or if the issue persists after checking these components, I recommend having a mechanic diagnose and repair the issue to ensure that the problem is properly addressed and the vehicle is safe to drive.

Intermittant engine management light.

Toyota Corolla 2002 Corolla 46000 miles
Hi, my engine management light comes on whilst driving maybe once a week. Then goes off after I restart car. I have had the camshaft sensor replaced as this is what the fault code was signalling. However, the light still comes on but not so often as before. I have had many different diagnosis from garages /mechanics (without seeing the car). I have been advised to get the serpentine belt changed, timing chain slipping, wiring fault or sensor is misplaced. Can anyone shed any light without me having to spend a fortune please? It is a vvt-i petrol engine. Thank you

Disconnect the negative terminal and leave it that way for ten minutes. Then, with the ignition key in its position, you place the terminal and, without starting the engine, you remove it and put it in on 4 times. That way it will be reseted. Good luck.

The car acts like it's misfiring

Toyota Corolla 1999 4cylinder 190000 miles
When I've been driving the car for about 20 to 40 minutes it flickers off and on like a m8sfire. The actual engine light will blink on. No codes shown accept bad cadalic converter. That was on at one time and I replace the ignition coils all wires and plugs. It fixed the problem then. There is also a flicking sound under the dashboard like a relay going off and on

No previous related issues and it has always been able to start until very recently. I have 2 keys and neither had any issues before. Don't see what could have caused the problem. Tried disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it after 15-30 minutes but it doesn't change anything. Neither does trying to reset the ECU or immobilizer by connecting the 4th and 13th pins on the OBD-II connector, turning on the ignition, and waiting 30-45 minutes. The security light turns off when I insert the key (happens for both keys I have), presumably indicating that the immobilizer does recognize the key,… Read complete

Electrical issue

Toyota Corolla 2007 S 163000 miles
As I was driving to work yesterday my car did a sort of "kick jump" and all the electrical accessories went out except interior light. No windows, no wipers, no temperature control, locks onlyneork manually. No dashboard at all except open door, seat belt, and check engine light. Only thing that works is the interior light and emergency lights. Furthermore in order to shift out of Park I have to use the emergency shift override button. Battery is fine, car still runs but no electrical accessories. I checked all the fuses and none are blown. I'm stumped on what the issue may be

Hey I have a AE93 corolla I've recently done a service to it that includes, (oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, dropping the oil flushing the old oil out and refilling it with new oil, Cleaning the throttle body with Carby clean) once I did all that I went for a night drive and as i was coming back home the car made a small thud noise then there was no response to the accelerator as I lost speed, I got it back home and went to diagnose the problem but no luck the car still is turning over just no spark I've pulled the rocket cover to see if it just stripped a gear but the distributor is strait connected to the cam shaft were unsure on what it could be were expecting it to be the coil in the distributor unless you guys know anything else it could be, cheers
