Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked by stephen carvalho on May 16, 2021
I have a 94 Toyota Camry, that used to run well until last week when the negative battery cable snapped from the terminal and caused the vehicle to lose power and ultimately die. I reconnected the cable but the vehicle wouldn’t start.
Over the last couple of days I got the starter, battery and alternator tested at Autozone they all tested to be in good working condition. I reconnected everything and still when I turn the key the starter clicks but can’t turn over the engine.
It’s a no start/ no crank issue, but I tested almost everything needed to make an engine crank but nothing works.
None of these worked.
Is there something I’m missing or anything else that could cause this issue?
You must first ascertain if all the battery and starter connections are good. This is copied (and amended) from another question here (not a Duplicate as the Answer there remained unaccepted):
The symptoms may be caused by a bad connection in one or both of the big wires that run from the battery to the engine and chassis.
Loosen the connection at each end of both cables, remove the cables from the battery post or bolt, then clean the connector, the post, the bolt until the connecting surfaces are clean and shiny metal. Then remount the cables.
It's also possible (but less likely) that there's an internal fault in one of the cables or connectors, so that while the connecting surfaces and terminal posts are clean, electrical conductivity is broken somewhere invisible to the eye. If you have a charged battery and clean connections, and there's still no illumination of dash lights or the starter still isn't working, you'll have to use a voltmeter, or continuity tester, or rig a temporary test light to ascertain if one (or more) of the cables is faulty.
