Hi , My 1994 camry V6 auto[110 000 miles] has gone from brilliant to dead overnight. When turning the key, I get all dash lights as normal but nothing from the starter- no click from the solenoid, no dimming lights under battery load, silence. I checked the battery , and the 2 fuses marked in the handbook - a 10 amp and a 40 amp main - all ok . next tried the transmission" only start in park" micro switch, which I can see but dont know how to find out if working - Its 3 wires to a black box marked transmission shift computer , or something - Toyota never made anything simple. I noticed a hesitence to turnover a couple of weeks ago but It came and went - its pointing me to this transmission switch. I dont know where else to look and the car is immobile
Thanks

Ho Boy, for anyone who scratched thier heads over this one - I found the problem- talk about the laws of hidden consequences. I was initially inspecting the front O2 sensor as I have all the relevant codes showing and in my enthusiasm managed to disconnect the live feed to the solenoid ! In my defense It was getting dark, the connector doesnt latch well and ......you know the rest
