mdugan322 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Long story short i've come to the conclusion that my entire fuse box is loose. Brake lights, a/c unit, radio, and windows will not work. Sitting in the drivers seat, using the point of my left shoe, by applying an ample amount of pressure to the fuse box everything will come on, and when i remove my foot, everything i listed above will go out. Ive checked all the fuses and even the wiring harness in the trunk but those dont seem to be the culprit to my problem. Possible short? Anyone else have this problem? Thanks for your time in advance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90LS400Lexus Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Wow, I have never heard tell of that before. Sounds like someone has tampered with the fuse block sometime in the past. Is the car modified electrically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatingupblacktop Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 So you've got a case of happy feet, eh? :D I would disconnect the batt, then get under there and investigate. Check the cover, panel connections, wiring, fuse holders, etc. Sounds like you have something shorting or not properly connected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know exact location, just trace it back from the negative terminal of the battery. Also check the main positive power lead coming into the fuse block. It sounds like a bad crimp of the ring terminal and the cable is loose inside of the terminal. Hard to imagine though, what with Lexus' quality control.

mdugan322 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Thanks I'll make sure i do!! I got a chance to fool around with it and still nothing. Im going to remove the whole fuse box to get a better view of whats going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
