No..I parked the car myself last night and I didn’t notice anything like that

You're having multiple electrical issues that might be caused by water ingress.
Your technician needs to physically look at your fuse boxes and fix affected components.
Remote diagnosis would be difficult.

Guess you bought a flooded vehicle.

Please the gurus in the house I just realized my car catalyst has been taken and since I don't have money for new one for now, which other thing I can use in place of catalyst?my car is Toyota camry 2013

Kingreign, nurey, please what do you have to say about this? Thanks

Replace catalyst, or buy O² sensor spacer, or keep driving without it.
Whatever you do, don't use wire mesh or any other funny substance in place of it

Plenty thanks. Appreciated.

Good day everyone,
I checked the fuse and relay box in the engine compartment of my toyota camry 2008 2AZ-FE CE trim and I noticed the following fuses were missing :
-RR fog
-FR def
- AM 2
-IG 2
-STR lock
- S Horn
- A/F
- Mayday/ Tel
The following relays were also missing :
-ST CUT
- IG 2 ( i.e both IG 2 relay and fuse are not in use)
I couldn’t find the relay port for VSC 1 and 2 even though they were included in the fuse box chart ( i figured those ones weren’t applicable to my vehicle coz I couldn’t find any vsc button or vsc indicator on the instrument cluster.)
My question now is, were these fuses and relays removed on purpose ??
PS: I did some research and found that ST CUT relay disconnects starter motor from the battery if it’s too low to power the vehicle so i can understand why that was removed.
I also found out Mayday/Tel fuse is for SOS purposes which would most likely not be needed in a country like Nigeria.

i’m also dealing with this P0420 code but my catalyst isn’t missing, it’s probably just not working anymore . Will an O2 sensor spacer work for me too?

Your trim is CE those fuse aren't there because those functions are not shipped with CE. Except something is amis though then you can say the fuse was removed for a reason.

Also check those fuse space if empty (plastic only no metal copper clipping) then you know the car doesn't need those functions.

Thanks so much for your contribution. I got one more question though, can any of the removed fuses/ relays cause my car to be consuming power even when it’s turned off?? As it stands now, I’ve used two new batteries in less than six months. I’ve had the alternator metered and it charges pretty well but i guess something keeps consuming power in my vehicle even when it’s turned off and the key is not in the ignition. I can’t leave my car for a day without using it.. it won’t start the next day. On weekends i removed the battery cables to avoid monday morning wahala.
This was exactly what made me change my battery the first time now the second one too is going bad. I once removed the battery cable for three days and the engine started at the first crank the day after. If i left the cable on, battery would have been dead

No, those missing fuses are not the cause.

You have a parasitic drain you either have to look back at what electrical gadget that was recently connected to the vehicle.

If non, then a good rewire that knows how to trace electrical installation should do the job, he will trace each fuse and component to know which is still drawing power after switching ignition off.

If it's blocked, remove completely or replace so you don't suffocate and kill your engine with excessive back pressure.

Good day car gurus.
Are oil filters generic or car model specific?

I want to get oil filter for my VW mk5

how do i know if it is clogged? I don’t seem to be having any issues other than fuel consumption that has gotten pretty high.

Good evening chief , suddenly saw this oil light in my car ....what could this mean and what could be the cause sir

Sound, smell, and feel.

It will sound overly muffled.
Some say a bad cat smells like rotten egg. A car with good functional catalyst has this distinct sweet smell from the tail pipe on a cold start different from the rotten egg smell.

You won't have good gas flow from the tail end and it will get red hot faster before the cat section.

Ask you mechanic or panel beater to check.

Good Morning house, I noticed this about my Highlander 09. Whenever I speed up above 100kmph, there's this smell of rotten egg in the car. After sometime it will stop.

I don't want to go to the Kazeems without knowing what could be wrong.

It simply means you don't have good oil flow, or bad oil switch

It's from your catalyst.
Take it out and replace with another good one.

I’m considering a Cat delete. I would still use the housing though but i would take out the guts and use a o2 sensor spacer like you recommended for the other guy. Can’t imagine losing my engine because of a cat considering it’s even a 2AZ-FE engine that has factory installed oil burning issue. Thanks so much for your contribution bro. Very grateful

It comes on when I turn on my ignition and goes off when I start the car.

Please I need trusted Nissan Pathfinder Engine from a trusted seller. People said most in the market has been tampered or worked on. But am sure one can still get direct tokunbo from trusted seller.
3.5Lt, turtleless V6 engine.

I discovered all those that want to help me get it are adding their own percentage.

Pls don't suggest seller that are not trustworthy please.

Okay

That's normal.
Unless I don't understand your complain.
The oil light should go off when the engine is running.

Okay then but why I became worried is that sometimes when I turn the ignition it doesn't come on too
