Why does all power shut off when I start to insert the key into the ignition?
What is your question?
The battery is pretty new and tested good. When I enter the 2002 Camry and leave the door open, the indicator light for an open door is lit on the dashboard. As soon as I start to insert the transponder key into the ignition, all power shuts off, including the indicator light. Is this a problem with my key? If I insert a screwdriver into the ignition, not only does the indicator light stays on, the warning chime for the open door starts.
