Do the dash lights dim when you turn the ignition to start the engine? If so, make sure the battery terminals are clean and in good repair. The positive battery cable has two wires; one for the starter motor, the other for the electrical system.

The transmission has a shift lock system that requires electrical power to work. this system can be bypassed. Look on the shifter console where the gear selector is for a small cover. Remove the cover and insert a flat screwdriver or similar to push the button down while moving the shifter. You will need to repeat this process every time you want to take the selector out of park. Your owners manual may have this info.

there are no lights on the dash, put new battery terminals on, no help. didnt know bout the transmission, will check it out , took rod off and did it by hand. seems like im not getting fire to ignition switch. is there an online fuse somewhere i cant find. and which fuse or relay switch goes to all that, the big ones under the hood, how can u tell if they r bad

All most the same thing happened to my 90 camry i just turned the key and i blew a couple fuses out. There are some like master fuses right behind the battery and there in a little box with a cover and there are 3 big one in there check them and check the ignition fuse witch is in the fuse box under the dash that what was wrong with mine but i don't know if it the same on a 96.
