The link the CUMAN provided looks pretty solid, I had never heard of this being an issue before myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990LS400 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Just fix the broken wires in the left trunk hinge. This is an e-x-t-r-e-m-l-y common problem and you will find lots of threads about fixing the broken wires in the left trunk hinge on this and other Lexus forums. It me only a few minutes to splice in wires in the left trunk hinge when the same problem happened on my 90 LS five or six years ago.
