I drive a 2011 Toyota Camry 4 plug and Venza Engine, which I bought as Direct Belgium last year December. Fast forward to this year January to be precise. After parking my car for an hour, I tried starting it I notice that my speedometer stopped reading, my temperature gauge stopped reading, my Ac stopped working, Abs light came up, brake light came up. I called an electrician that checked all fuse, Abs module and the brainbox no fault was detected the worst of it was that it was not communicating with a system scanner it was stating unable to communicate . So I decided to drive to Anambra state where I reside. Someone directed me to an electrician in Onitsha. On my way to Anambra state, I noticed that my car android music player tripped off and never came up. When. I got to the electrician at onitsha I explained everything to him after which we bargained for his workmanship. So he started fixing the car while he was on it he said I shouldn’t stand close to him, he insisted I should go and sit down which I did. Within 30 minutes he had fixed the car same car that couldn’t be fixed for a month. I asked him what the problem was he was relunctant in telling me. So I decided to buy a new android music player, I noticed that whenever I am driving it will turn off and on even when I am not driving. I got frustrated called another electrician recently to check why it is tripping off and on. I also noticed my door light is fluctuating and roof light slightly fluctuating. When the electrician came I loosed the android music player from the dashboard he metered and we noticed that the current in the car is fluctuating and not stable. He unplugged and checked the terminals connected to my battery and noticed a current fluctuation. He concluded the alternator is not functioning well and needs to be changed to get a stable current. I noticed whenever my car is in idle the rpm clock will be slightly going up and down but not all the time. Please my fellow Nairaland i need your advice I had to be detailed enough so you guys can advice me. Why is my car not having stable current could it be the alternator. Note my battery is very sound |

Kingzautos:Could be loose electrical connections in the fuse box, battery terminals or modules. It's also possible you bought a flooded car as posted above. |

Get a good wire technician to check the alternator first and from there you can move to the wiring |

My Lexus 400, hybrid, When on D (drive), the car won't accelerate while throttling it, it will be moving slowly. But when shift to R (reverse), the car will move normally and smooth. Please help me, what could be the cause? |

donchidez:you are asking us to tell you what is wrong with your car, you should have asked the car first by scanning. You did not say what happened to the car in the last 2 weeks, or all the warning light decorating your dashboard |

They was no warning light, it just suddenly happened while driving, the car just dropped from the normal speed i was driving and started moving slowly. If i start the car and accelerate it, it will move like from one electric pole to another and the speed will drop and started moving slowly. Even if i throttle the pedal to the end,it will still be moving slowly. The oil, gear oil, air flow sensor and filter, fuel pump are okay That is why am surprised. Remember is a Lexus hybrid(Rx) with 3mz engine. |

Kingzautos have u tried checking the electrical connector directly on ur batteries?...Cause similar things happened when it's not well fixed or the connector itself is bad....Usually ends up making the whole car electrical current to keep fluctuating |
