Floating ground? That's the kind of symptom I've had before from a
floating ground. See if there is a good electrical connection between
the tail-light shell and the chassis.

That was probably it. Once I spliced in new wires that made a solid
connection, the problem went away.

This car has served the family well, now it is almost time to belong to
another.

This Camry in Dallas, however, rocks!

"This is what you get when you mix some serious damage, someone's
aversion to body shops, a lot of wasted time, and the ignorant belief
that Bondo and duct tape can fix anything.

This sad-looking fifth-generation Toyota Camry was spotted in Dallas,
Texas wearing enough Bondo to make 3M consider expanding instead of
downsizing in this tough economy.

Stylists will applaud the effort on maintaining the window line as well
as returning a Camry Coupe to Toyota's lineup but surely judges will
take points off for the roof bulge. If it can be ignored that it looks
like the passenger side has been overrun by some sort of sci-fi mold and
oh - it appears that you can't open the right side doors... well,
there's not much else left to say about it, is there? Have a look for
yourself below"
