MrWinkle Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hello to all the lexus owners and fans out there. I recently bought a 1990 LS400 and it has been cranking fine. However when i got up to go get some lunch i jump in my car and it would not start or crank. I tried to jump it off thinking it was the battery and to no avail i still received nothing from my auto. all my instrument cluster lights come on like normal, my interior lights come on, my steering wheel still moves up and down like it should. I repeat when i turn to start the engine i get nothing no sound what so ever, not even the familiar "click-click" sound of a bad starter. please give me some direction in the matter cause as of right now i am totally lost!!!!!!!!!!!

bainzey Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Not sure, if it is a DYI job or not, you might want to Call Lexus for the part cost, and find out how much Labour they figure it is, jsut to give you an idea of how big a job it is. Can't say I 've ever had to do such a repair my self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Culberson Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 It might also be your neutral safety switch; definitely don't just replace the ignition switch. (That would be a stab in the dark and might not work.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ono8ono Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 last time my 94LS got problem I have it towed to the Lexus dealer and they charged me about $130.00 for diagnostic (that included round trip ride back and forth from my house to the dealer! ) and that way I know for sure what was broken instead of guessing. Not bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
