A few days ago would engine would turn over and fire but not keep running. Car would eventually keep running, and ran fine until we shut it off. Today after a few short trips all interior power is gone. Nada. Battery should be fine. Any thoughts appreciated.
Battery was fine. When I removed the battery clamps (I was going to have the battery tested), there was corrosion between the clamps and the post. Now, I had looked for this and externally these connections looked SPOTLESS. Anyhow, I cleaned the posts and the Camry fired right up. A good lesson learned, to be sure.
I still don't see how this would play into my other problem, but I'm hoping it is the cause. Thanks for the input!
