HoodLexusSC Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 ok i got a lexus sc 92 gold bought 3 months ago. now when i bought it i was thinking to sell it but after driving it and seeing all the love the chics give to me i kept it and threw some 18" larenzos (chrome) on it. i love the look of my car but i have a problem...........some of my controls dont work example. my door lights my steering wheel adjuster (auto adjuster too) my auto-seat set-er. and also when i let people in the back the seat doesnt automatically adjust itself to move up. i have replaced all my fuses with the fuses that light up if a fuse is blown. what the hell could be the problem also my security system doesnt work aswell as the unlock/lock button on the key for the ignition. i need help i would love for a lexus sc owner in NJ to put me under their wing as a apprentice im 20 and live in orange,nj course i dont have much money but i do have some to fix things here and there(workin on replacin the clouded driver side headlight now and replacing the whole interior. please help people :(
UCF3 Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 HoodLexusSC: Try switching the Auto button on, reprogram the seat memory, and see if that does the trick. If not, try visiting the Lexus Dealer, and get a full electronic diagnostic. I can help you with the parts if needed. Private Message me or post a reply to this post.
SKperformance Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 for that many problems first thing to buy is a good multi meter to test wires and start tracing back the systems i am sure it may be a harnes unplugged but you never know could have even been in a accident and never fixed right the meter is the easiest way to save money another inversment is see if you can find the original lexus service manuals tehy are rpicey from the dealer sometimes are one ebay but they are the best i am not really a fan of haynes or chltons but you get what you pay for
AWJ Posted June 5, 2003 Posted June 5, 2003 The manuals range from 100 to 200+$ depending for the real thing. Some service shops might make a zerox of a couple pages for you if they are cool. You can disassemble your headlight and clean it to as new condition. There is a battery in your key - try that first. The other electrical items could be almost anything but the fuses were a good start. Borrow a multimeter is the best advice. If I find time I might be able to get a couple of electrical diagrams up. They are for 95 model, but it should not be different. We'll see.
UCF3 Posted June 5, 2003 Posted June 5, 2003 Hey AWJ: I think he's looking for the owners manual not the service manual. Owners manuals are free from Lexus. :)
HoodLexusSC Posted June 5, 2003 Author Posted June 5, 2003 but my headlights are like YELLOW.........looks like i have to change them with new ones
UCF3 Posted June 6, 2003 Posted June 6, 2003 what's the word with your power seats? Find anything? <_<
AWJ Posted June 6, 2003 Posted June 6, 2003 but my headlights are like YELLOW.........looks like i have to change them with new ones The site link to lex400sc's page is down. That is in our Frequently Asked Questions thread. I found it cached on google and will try to attach it here. You can remove the headlight, disassemble it and clean it - or you can 400$ for a new one. Or try to find a used one (wich is not impossible, they come up on e-bay often). Good luck.

UCF3 Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 also anyone think they can mod my car to make the doors go up lambo style ill travel a bit and pay. HoodLexusSC: Okay, now you're scarying me. I don't live in Jersey. I live in the DC Metro area if you're willing to come down here!
SKperformance Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 wow i fgured sc doors are really heavy never mind that already over enginered hinge that would be one hell of a shock to lift that door if you get in an accident with switchblade doors and the car is upside down how the hell do you get out? just a thought
HoodLexusSC Posted June 9, 2003 Author Posted June 9, 2003 ok i checked the power with the recirc and auto button it reads out 23. i also tried to do the headlight thing with the sawpaper and wax it got the yellow out its still not as crisp as new think a few more wax coats will do the trick??
UCF3 Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 Has it cleaned up a little or is it still dull like it was before? If it is, try switching to Mothers or Meguire plastic polish. Of course you'll be doing rubbing it for a while. By the way, the yellow and dullness of the lense is due to a leak, so when you reseal it, do it throughly. Have fun with it.
