2002 camry v6. Daughter was driving around all night and when I went out to go to the store, it wouldn't start. There is no clicking like the battery is dead. Just nothing. All electrical works. Is there someting with the security system that needs to be cleared? Any help would be appreciated.

1) Can you turn the front head lights on bright and honk the horn?
If not, the battery needs a charge and load tested.
2) Is this the origninal battery for this car?

I thinking a bad starter solenode, battery connection going to the starter, or a bad
ignition switch.

Is this car at your house?

You might consider a mobile Auto technician.

You might try tapping the starter sometime this frees it up..

Where is the starter located on a camry w/ V6 engine?

Trace the red postive cable going from the battery to the starter.
If you need a picture, see http://www.autopartwarehouse.com
Lightly tap the starter solenode with a butt of a screw driver.

A starter solenode works like a relay switch, it allows a small current to enable a large current device
to turn on.
