Does the camry key cylinder have a mechanical connection with the door
latch or does it rely on the electric solenoid? IE.will it open door if
there is no power to the solenoid system.

battery was dead.
In fact, I am the duke of dischargeed batteries. I've had to solicit
jumps over 100 times on the streets of Chicago, NYC, and Baltimore. Once
I even got one from a very pretty young black woman. Usually women
won't stop at all, let alone pretty ones.
But then I got Battery Buddy, and when it stopped working and was no
longer for sale, I got Priority Start, which is at least twice as
expnsive, but well worth it. They both disconnect the battery before
it's so dead it won't start the car.
My 5-year battery has 4 months left on it but it's already terrible and
even leaving the LED??? dome light on overnight will discharge the
battery. This or something similar happened 3 or 4 times in the last 18
months including less than 3 months ago and the key still opened the
lock of course.
This is a 2005 Toyota Solara but if that seems too different from your
car, go back to my first paragraph. ;-)
