Common problems and easy repairs on a 1999 Corolla

The 1999 Toyota Corolla CE is an easy vehicle to maintain. The reverse light is found behind an easy-to-remove cover in the trunk door, allowing for reliable access whenever necessary. The battery is quick to find with unobstructed access to both its bracket and terminals, so changing it shouldn’t ever be a problem. The engine air filter is also easy to change, as no tools are needed to disengage its housing and access the filter itself.

However, the 1999 Toyota Corolla CE does have its downsides, particularly with the lights. The headlight on the driver side will require a small fuse box-like obstruction to be removed for access. The turn signals on either side will require their whole housing to be taken out, which won’t allow for reliable repairs. The tail lights in the main housing require a large panel to be removed for access, which can be problematic to maneuver around.
