Electrical system: wiring
- What is wrong
- An unused harness connector for power windows, power door locks and sunroof was improperly routed under the floor carpet in the left kick panel. If the vehicle is operated in cold weather conditions where large amounts of road salts are used, the salt water or snow carried into the vehicle by the driver's shoes can penetrate the carpet and drip onto the connector resulting in the formation of a salt bridge between the terminals.
- Risk
- This causes an electrical short inside the harness, and can result in a vehicle fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will remove the unused harness connector.

What 1994 Toyota Corolla owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The car shuts off while driving, I have taken it to two toyota dealerships, one in me and one in nj and neither has been able to tell me what is wrong. When it shuts off while driving on the highway, you can sometimes restart it just by pressing/pumping the gas. Other times you must coast off to the shoulder , wait and restart. That can take several attempts. I remember a recent recall, unfortunately I do not remember the make or model, regarding a similar situation and was wondering what the problem was since the symptom was the same. Thank you for your time. Mike riley.
