Total Newb With A Question

[TWS]

Hey Guys,

Just bought my wife a '94 SC300. Diamond White Pearl with gray leather. Really nice shape and we like it a lot so far. Anyway, the keyless remote button on the keys does not work (ie. nothing happens when pressed). I replaced the batteries and still nothing. As the owner of a few Camaros (yee-hah, Redneck alert :P ) I am a very big DIY-er when it comes to maintenance and repairs. The process to reprogram a Camaro fob is very straight forward and can be found easily on enthusiast forums, but I did a quick Internet search and could not find it for a Lexus. I asked a local friend who also has an SC300 and he said he has the same problem and unfortunately it's a dealership (stealership) issue and they told him it would be $200. ouch. He's a real hands-on guy too, but I hope that he is wrong.

If anyone can give me instructions or point me to a link, I'd really appreciate it.

TIA!

You can search the threads on here and find alot of information on where you can purchase the key fobs... A lexus key is very different then most when it comes to replacing..your friend is right when he says high dollar...a new full set of keys if all masters is lost can run anywhere from 500.00 to 1300.00 dollars.. www.toy-lex.com this is one site that might help...I am sure more people can be of help. But becareful and make sure its the one you need before you buy. Another option is always ebay.... goodluck..
