Seems odd....as would have thought the correct position to place your hands if driving correctly is either 9 and 3, or 10 and 2 o'clock position.

Wipers not working
Toyota Owners Club replied to LlaPI19's topic in New Members Area - Just signed up? Come and say Hi!
Sounds like the motor or linkage is seizing / seized Would start by disconnecting the linkage from the motor and see if it is free to move. Is so, then switch the wipers on and see if the motor turns, if not then replace it -

Aftermarket car alarm installation
Toyota Owners Club replied to Oldbear66's topic in General Toyota Discussions
I think they are aftermarket parts (e.g. part of the Viper system) that aren't being used. They don't look like original equipment wiring connectors -

New Camry Owner
Toyota Owners Club replied to RBP's topic in New Members Area - Just signed up? Come and say Hi!
Hi....welcome to the Club The Camry is a superb car along with the rest of the Toyota range and they have been running hybrid for long enough now to say that its perfectly reliable, tried and tested (including Le Mans 24 Hours). The oil specs, I would probably go with what the local dealer is putting in the engine, again as you say it is based on regional temperatures, etc. Good to have you onboard! -
I have found the quality of belts (especially those from China) are poor and seem to emit noise no matter how tight they are. I would always replace with OEM parts from your Toyota dealer, you pay more but worth every penny. The bearings in the pulleys also dry up over time and new ones from the dealer are not overly expensive

It could be a defective coolant temperature sensor which is giving the wrong reading through the temperature range. Also, could be ignition or fuel issues which are affected by temperature. Try running a scan for fault codes stored in the ECU

Tundra Brakes performance...sinking brake pedal
Toyota Owners Club replied to Tony Guarino's topic in General Chat
Also, maybe the master cylinder leaking between the internal seals (or outside of the seals if losing fluid) which means replacing as a matter of urgency -

Does anyone recognize this emblem?

“there will be a temporary hydrogen shortage the next few days caused by the current weather conditions in the Southeastern United States.” Can only assume it is relating to the distribution and dispensing of the Hydrogen that is being affected by the weather. How many Hydrogen charging stations in your state?

Camry isn't getting fuel to the engine
Toyota Owners Club replied to Michael P's topic in Classic Toyota
Its a difficult one to diagnose without capturing any data when it occurs. A first thought it may be ignition related in which case it would be worth checking all ignition components and replacing if necessary. All ignition parts would be cheap for this age of vehicle and can easily be seen if defective (plugs, leads, coil, etc) After that then I would look at replacing the fuel filter, checking vacuum hoses and go from there. Also, check battery earth connections and leads as if these are not up to par then this could also lead to loss of power, cutting out, etc -
Leaving the hatch open: Battery drain?
Toyota Owners Club replied to diehls's topic in General Toyota Discussions
It could eventually lead to battery discharge over time. Maybe worth having a portable solar panel on your dashboard to keep the battery topped up -
The location of the transistors of the coils on the ECU board?
Toyota Owners Club replied to Alla's topic in Avalon Club
you could look on Lexus Owners Club as this is a common failure item and capacitor replacement has been discussed in detail before -
