What can go wrong with the backup lights on a 1994 Toyota Camry Le?

most of the time if the fuse is not blown and the bulbs are good, the reverse gear pin on the tranny is probably bad. I've noticed it to be a common problem with many 90's toyotas. the first place i look on these is the wiring that is attached to the drivers side trunk hinge. open the trunk and look for a corrugated cover that runs along the square tube that supports the trunk lid. follow it toward the front of the car where it goes behind the hard felt trunk liner. right where it goes behind this felt the wires break. repair the broken wires and youll get your backup lights back.
ANSWER Excellent recommendation checking the wiring at the trunk hinge. I opened up the trunk for my 1999 Camry LE, observed where the most bend in the wire bundle was occurring, and found the break right away after carefully cutting away the wire sleeve. A quick splice, and it was all good!
Answer: I just troubleshot this problem! Wiring in the trunk was ok. The Neutral Safety Switch on the front of the automatic transmission was the culprit. However, do not buy a new switch, as they cost $360! It is a simple mechanism and comes apart easily by removing a few screws. I found the grease used to pack it turned to a sticky mess. Inside the wiper part of the assembly are two copper contacts with two small coil springs underneath them. The sticky old grease was keeping them stuck down. I cleaned all six parts with acetone, packed it with white lithium grease, and reassembled the switch. I now have backup lights.

What could be wrong if the window instrument cluster is not working on a 1998 Toyota Camry?
We had a 1996 Camry. The window activation constantly blew a fuse for the speedometer, dash lights, etc. My mechanic said over the phone that it was a wire short in the drivers door, and sure enough, that was it.

What could be wrong with the backup lights if is not the fuses or bulbs?
Try checking the neutral safety switch. This switch is the one in automatic transmissions that makes the backup lights "flip" on when going from park to drive as you go through the gears. When my neutral safety switch shorted my backup lights stayed on constantly.

Does 2007 Camry le prewired for fog light?
Wrong! It does. Open the cover for the fog lights on you bumper and you will notice a yellow h11 female adapter. There is one on each side and that is where you will be plugging your lights into. By manually turning your lights on you can turn these fog lights on, or just use the switch that came with it. * I have a 2007 Camry Le and I installed fog lights.
