NOTE :
Power for the Airbag Deactivation System on 2000 model year Camry is supplied by connecting a sub-wire harness to the clock. The connectors on the sub-wire harness and clock are different for Auto and Manual type air conditioning systems, which resulted in different switch kits having to be used. Verify which type air condition system the vehicle has before ordering the correct switch kit part number.
