  1. If it is the handle where the window switches are located, you can pry it up from the rear portion by using a thin small screw driver. Remove the srew first underneath the rubber cover on that handle hole portion where you put your fingers to hold the handle. Never pry in the front because the front clip is plastic, the rear clip is metal. Once you get it out, you can unplug all the wire hernesses. Good Luck.

    Spark Plugs

    My 2002 Camry manual says to replace spark plugs at 120,000 miles. Is this for real? Thanks.
  3. Thank you guys for all your opinions. I just solved the problem and here is the cause: The master control switch on the driver's side affects all window switches. Even if all the other individual windows are working but the corresponding switch in the master is broke, the window will not function. All power and functions pass thru the master. I opened the master switch all the way to the motherboard. The top switch handle cover (the black color with the 4 switches, the side mirror switch, and the on/off window safety switch) can be separated from the underneath electronic motherboard which are attached with 3 small screws. Upon separation, I discovered that the 4 top handle switches have a "fork-like" or "claw-like' feature at their bottoms which move each window mechanism in a forward or backward manner so that when you push the switch handle down, the mechanism moves backward and the window goes down; by the same token, when you lift the switch handle, the mechanism moves forward and the window goes up. This "fork-like" or "claw-like" shape at the bottom of each handle catches and inserted into a small "knob-like" feature attached to the mechanism that slides it to move forward or backward. What happened to my passenger side window switch handle was that this "fork-like" feature broke and so could not control the mechanism. You cannot buy just the top handle cover separate from the electronic mechanism; you have to buy the complete unit which costs US$ 385 - 400 from the dealerchip. I was able to find a used one for US$ 75.00. What caused the handle switch fork to break, I do not know. My car is only 4 years old and 50,000 miles. I may have to write the Toyota company for an explanation or to suggest to research and develop a more sturdy design of the switches. There you are folks. Lots of work and diagnosis but it saved me some money.
  4. Hello Guys! I'm new here; glad to find your discussion board! I have a 2002 Camry. Just recently, the front passenger power window is acting up. I tried to open it one afternoon but when it's time to close, it won't go up. Tested the motor by applying direct battery power and worked up fine; also tested the switch in the back window and is working fine; fuse is okay. It will go down but not go up even when you use the driver's master control switch for that window. What could be the problem? It only has 51,000 miles, 4 years old. Thanks for any help.
