Wiring harness for 2008 ES 350 aftermarket stero

Hi. I’m having the same issue. Did you ever figure out what harness is needed? - Yesterday

Hi Dave, Thank you for your suggestions. It will be a few months before I need an oil change, but when I go to the Lexus dealer I will ask the service adviser about it. Incidentally, when Lexus corporate sent me a form letter welcoming me an as owner I did respond with my above concern. I received a reply the next day or two essentially saying that Consumer Reports is an independent testing agency and I should contact them about their report on major reliability problems with the aforementioned engine. I wrote back thanking them for their prompt reply, but I (politely) pointed out that the double down red arrows were not the result of testing but instead based upon a reader survey of owners of the 2021 NX300h. I didn't hear anything back and that was a few weeks ago so it's safe to say that Lexus corporate is disinterested and considers the matter closed.

Hello, Bill. Who tested the battery, and was it load-tested? Obviously, not starting after one week is not normal. Is your remote fob battery good? If that battery is week, you can sometimes verify by placing the fob against the vehicle's start button as you press that button. A weak fob button can often allow the vehicle to start if you do it this way.

Have a 2004 ES 330 that is having, what sounds like, a similar problem. The battery and starter seem to work fine. It will start and work great, but every once-in-a-while, it doesn't start. All the dash lights come on but the starter won't kick in. This seems to happen most often just after filling the gas tank. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this. It has been to the mechanic three or four times for this, but it still happens. The first time, we just tightened the gas cap and that worked. I purchased a new Toyota gas cap about 18 months ago because of an evap system code, but we still continue to have this issue.

There is no alternator in a PHEV. It is a hybrid, where you can charge the extra large high voltage battery home via a plug-in. Hybrid cars have no alternator. Like I mentioned before - the 12V battery starts the computer that then power up the big battery. The car can run on the big battery till there is too little power left in that and then the vary ordinary engine running on gasoline starts to charge the battery and power the wheels. Call your Lexus where you bought the car and tell them to help. A new car should have some service free of charge.

Water Leak Into Passenger Side Floor
mattwall replied to zeppo's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
I'm confused. Where did you end up routing the hose to? -
I had the same problem with AFS on my 2007 ES350 - could not locate the switch (it's referenced in my manual, but picture was not very helpful). Instruction to locate switch was perfect. Worked like a champ. Thanks! Victor

My ‘06 470 developed a TOTAL UP rear end with a very bumpy ride. I followed the advice from the Forum and YouTube. I replaced the TWO ride SENSORS, L and R. I purchased the parts on Amazon, $109. 1. Raised rear end onto jack stands. 2. Removed wheels L&R. 3. SLOWLY removed each SENSOR. (I soaked the mounting hex bolts with JB Blaster) 4. Replaced SENSORS in reverse order. 5. Once the wheels were back on the ground I disconnected the battery for 10mins. 6. Once electric power was restored the car VERY SLOWLY returned to NORMAL stance. 7. I spent 8hrs total. I’m NOT a highly skilled mechanic, with a very basic tool box.

I didn’t do anything to resolve the “problem”. My Celsior doesn’t need that relay. My fan is hydraulic and I don’t have heated seats.

Glitchy Navigation/electronics screen
ArthurW replied to DocMartin's topic in 2013 - 2018 ES350 / ES350h
Did you manage to get the glitch fixed? Sidebar thought: I've heard from several sources that cleaning the display screen with an interior cleaner that contains ammonia is an absolute no-no. Ahmed at The Car Care Nut YouTube channel (highly recommended) says the same. Perhaps that's the contagion that struck your nav screen? -
You help your way, I will help my way. If you check my posts on here you will find all of them are technical and helping answer other people's questions. The vast majority, like this question, are questions posted by first post members, who ask one question, get the answer they need, never come back to even bother to say thanks, let alone add any value to the group later on. If you don't think my answers add value, feel free to put me on ignore but don't tell me how I need to help.

Read the instructions, follow them are certainly complicated. In the CT (2017 with ML audio, sunroof, leather (synthetic) and all the extras available here) we have it is far simpler: Car is not turned on - take out the old microSD-card - insert the new microSD-card - turn on the car. Updated navigations system (2021) functions after about 20 minutes with car turned on. Have not updated since as the navigations system in Lexus is not worth using; often tells you to follow longer roads and sometimes against one way streets. Any smartphone has better navigations system and with completely free updates except for handing info about where you are while using the navigation over to Google. Most people do that anyway. Apple system is not better, also steal all the info available whenever using your phone.

Any way to update navigation system on 2014 ES 350?
Lexus-CT replied to jbcamel2's topic in 2013 - 2018 ES350 / ES350h
Extreme price. Here we can buy map updates on micro-SD-cards around 40€. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355554589554?itmmeta=01HVE4M16HGXB9T4ZGXYABJCNN&hash=item52c8b47b72:g:ovEAAOSwolBkxm54&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8FZyOZPfnbsqRjz4h%2F3PjSUyHW5p6IWCYSuHa5z62vUCx5ddwq3RblF7o0r13Wt19Ct4dh4yR%2BKthmI9Rpj%2Bo4JuGqDvisyly6quAQigIlcOqtRUSSGFIsjMtCWsWw9IHiqwkwVXmV%2F2Gr6vyvIQcsDMv4r%2BBIs1i75ENXPYTjkZnqLyOL46kIwLTZYhZMGidBHk%2BGudXUY425m20yjhymTTLE1IGbgx27OpzdxIaRn8%2Bw4nylwuIJ0U3%2F1nNmQ0Koemw%2FiuHv7BMemzjNvp%2BjZG5LaSSw0YxksDwWNHrwn%2FMZQZXxCd5DpqGDjaVAXuYw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7CT0MTbYw
