marday Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 On my LS430 with the smart key option sometimes I cant turn the switch to turn the car on. I have put the key in and it still will not turn. This happens too often. Eventually it will turn. The switch is just frozen. Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do. The dealership wants me to bring it in and leave it for a few days to see if they can duplicate the problem. This seems unfeasable to me. If they cant duplicate it I am just stuck with it when it happens again? Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Em91 Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Try using a different key. The key maybe damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dealer rotated the key cylinder 180 degress and the problem went away. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
