'87 Toyota Camry Help Needed

[cmusicman92]

Hello, I recently acquired a 1987 Toyota Camry. It was a steal for $600. It's also my first car, so my parents didn't want anything too nice. The car has about 240,000 miles on it. Being that it's an old car, it certainly has its fair share of problems. And since it is my first time going about doing this, I definitely need some advice/help. Here are the problems:

1)Whenever I flip the right turn signal on, it makes a loud buzzing noise. While it is making the noise, the back turn signal is blinking, while the front is doing nothing. The left turn signal works fine.

2)The car has no radio, and I would like to install one.

3)The car has no locks anywhere.

4)The inspection states that there is a problem with the quiescent draw. I definitely have no clue what that means.

Thanks for all the help.

Hi:

1)- Have you checked the bulb in the light. It might be burned out

2) Are you referring to upgrading what is already there. If so, there should be
plug in type connectors behind where the radio sits.

3) Do you mean manual locks or power door locks?


4) Quiescent draw is described as an electrical drain. It can cause a seriously
drained or dead battery, if the car sits for a long time without running. One
of your electrical items is the culprit.
