Gas Gauge Fix

[sapper_daddy]

hey i woke up one morning and someone had replied to a post about my gas gauge, i had ZERO experience with a soldering iron and i'm clumsy as hell too. I went to radio shak bought the three dollars in parts and a iron for eight and had that thing fixed in less than an hour, i even changed the little 212 capacitor that makes the display go out when it's cold outside. LESS THAN AN HOUR. Look peeps if you don't feel like trying it or are scared to try it just don't pay for than 40 or fifty bucks ESPECIALLLY if you have to take it out of the car your slef. Look at this stuff on ebay what a loser : . LEXUS owners beware, you may drive an expensive car but over paying for repairs makes the experience less enjoyable. I'm not sure who Jim Walker is either but since everyone on the site here seems to recommend him he must be reasonable, so try him first! I hate ripoffs here is another! Notice how he doesn't take paypal, yeah send him cash and see what you get in the mail!

Look i know people are trying to make a living but if anyone thinks i am being un reasonable by getting upset about this let me know why.

that's why whenever you have any issues with your Lex, you do a search on these forums first, it may turn out some good tutorials left by lots of good folks here to take care of ur problems by urself at mininal dollars.

also, check out lexls.com and lextreme.com, both long-time contributing members here offering good tutorials of lots of fixing-up's!

you think $160 is expensive to fix the fuel gauge, try dealer! they will want you to replace the whole cluster for $1K+ for some minor components cost a few cents to manufacture!

for your reference, I did left a tutorial 2-year ago to show how-to fix the fuel gauge issue:
