Removing Center Console

[boxmaker]

I want to remove the console on a 95 LS 400 to check heated seat wiring. Where do I start? Thanks

Pop off the center console wood using these instructions: http://carstereohelp.com/stereoremovalLexusLS400str1.htm

Remove the air vent you see when the arm rest is raised if you really want to remove the whole console.

I think the rest will be obvious. There are may be detailed instructions on this forum that could found by doing a search -- not sure. Removal of the console is pretty easy although it takes a while.

My 95 also has seat heater problems. Please post back if you find something when you get this appart. Sometimes I think I get some heat out of it, but usually it does not heat at all. This could be a bad connection. My green light come on which would indicate that the relays are pulling in. So it is either burned out elements or bad connections. Anything you find out would be helpfull. Thanks.

Both switches light up and both seats do not work. I hope I find a connector that was not hooked up when the dealer took out the telephone.

Removing a Lexus phone requires unplugging one or two connectors under the vent you see when the arm rest is raised. I doubt that this has anything to do with your seat heater problem since there are no seat heater wires near the telephone connectors and it is only necessary to remove the vent cover to unplug the phone handset cradle.

There is a detailed diagnosis procedure for the seat heaters in my 00 LS repair manual set -- mainly involves checking continuity and resistance on various pins in the connectors. I suggest you get a hold of the instructions for your 95 LS and follow the procedure.
