Mishap

In the first 2 months of driving the Celica, enjoying every moment, I encountered one of the biggest mishap regarding a car. My car couldn't start up. I panicked and asked for help. A lot had been done and at the end it is known that the car had a short circuit from on of the interior lighting that burned out. I took the car to accessories shop to fix the light hoping it would start. However, it didn't help much.

The next step was to check further for the problem. So, my dad had me sent the car his mechanic once it could be started. There was a good news bad news moment. The good news is that the cause has been identified as 3 busted fuses and the bad news is it is hard to locate the fuse. I went to a few places looking for it and finally found it at TOM'S, a specialist on imported Toyotas.

When the fuses were replaced, it still couldn't start. The next step was to replace the car battery and it started for a while but in the end still nothing. So, my Celica spent 3 weeks at the workshop for examination and solution. The faulty part and culprit was found to be the multiplexer. There was no choice but to get it fix.

Frustrated by the mechanic of not able to fix it and wanting to replace it from a half cut and keeping the car for a long time, my dad seek another associate to help. His friend recommended us a workshop in Subang Jaya. Lucky he could do the job that at a cheaper and faster rate. So, from that day onwards, I only trust this guy for maintenance and servicing along with all other cars like the Vios.

I couldn't be more happier when my Celica is well treated and recovered fully. Yea.
