It is a very potential not to mention expensive to repair both in time and dollars, out of service approx. Driving alone is unsafe and even with our 2 children makes it very unsafe not knowing how fast you are going and fuel gauge not working so you could run out of fuel and left stranded with kids on the road. There were no prior warnings. I wasn't really sure what to title this one but I think it works. The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's ignition module 4 problems. If you find a break or suspicious area of the wire, your job is to secure it back together soldering iron would be good. The alternator and starter are all good so i started realizing the other little electrical issues through-out the car, including trunk lock issues.
While driving various speeds, the vehicle would suddenly stall. You have to look carefully at all of the wires because at first glance they may look ok, especially to the untrained eye. Take to a tv repair shop or custom stereo installer. Look for, wear on the bolsters and any tears. The odometer and the speedometer are working intermittently. If you read the capacity at room temp they may or may not seem fine. The cluster have been overhauled 18 months ago and work's fine.
It is about 30 minutes of work to do. You are unable to see how fast you are going or any warning lights and the gas gauge does not work when the dash lights go out. The approximate failure and current mileage was 130,000. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. First off, the first guy on here, its a Lexus, just cuz somethin goes out doesnt mean anything else will, these cars go 300,000 miles like nothing.
The traction control can throw up a warning light, I have never had this but it is reported as a common fault on the Lexus owners club site. They are very small Low quality electrolytic caps. Thanks in advance for your assistance. It may take a while to find a broken wire since if the insulation on the individual wires is not broken you may need to use some ingenuity to identify a break. If you do, get the capacitors that are meant for a wide temerature range so they don't do the same thing. And wait a couple of minutes.
I am concerned this is a huge safety issue. This is not the first time this has happened in the two years we have owned this car. Your comments would be much appreciated, Claude L, Montreal, Canada, I Landar, Thanks for your prompt answer. And much less expensive than having the dealer replace your boards. Mine has 168000 mi and all original parts.
So I removed the little light bulb that warns you. If you have a chance to own one you won't regret your purchase! Then the capacity reading starts to approach zero. The bonnet struts all lose their gas over time, replacement are £50-70 for a pair and are an easy fit. It is causing the battery to die and we just replaced it and the new battery is already dying. Is there possibly a fuse I could just pull that would eliminate the trunk issues from the rest of the car or will i need to track and find the repair in the wiring? But after hours and hours of searching for a solution. The contact stated that he had no alternative but to exit through the passengers side door.
Apart from all of that be under no illusions about a Lexus like any car basically anything can go wrong but it is a quality product and if well maintained it is a good starting point and I still love mine I still do in 2016. Although they are not true surface mount caps. You can get them refurbished for about £65 a corner if they are not too far gone. . But all it takes is a small nick or pull and the wire inside can be stretched and broken.
Is this harness passing inside the hinge and going inside the trunk lid liner!!! The wiring loom is routed through the left hinge area. What you should do is replace them with better quality caps. As we exited I-80 after almost one hour of constant interstate driving, the car stalled at approximately 5 mph as we came to the stop sign at the end of the exit ramp. I would still be stuck without him. I am not sure my airbags work after 10 years.
