1990LS400 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 The fuse function descriptions are shown on the inside of the fuse box covers. The gear selector light is probably on a circuit with lots of other lights or functions -- If you are not noticing other lights out or functions not working, the gear selector light bulb is probably burned out. It looks like your LS is a 93-94 so 16 to 18 years for a bulb to last is pretty good. There have been instructions on this forum on how to change the bulb ... you might be able to find them by doing a search ... the "advanced search" at the bottom right of most forum pages would allow you to limit the search to the LS400 forum.

imsovip Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 yeah i kinda figured it was the bulb, everything else lights up. and ive already seen tutorials on how to pop out that panel. lexls.com i believe is the site. and my ls is actually a 91 not 93. haha thanks though.

91LS400Lexus Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 If your other lights are working, its probably not the fuse. Its probably the bulb. If I recall, this light was out on BOTH of my LS400s... 1990 and 1991. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990LS400 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I did a search of this forum and wasn't able to locate a thread with instructions for changing the console gear selector bulb. This thread was, however, the impetus that lead me to do some minor disassembly to replace a similar bulb in our 98 Camry last night -- it took about 30 minutes since I didn't know what I was doing. Our Camry uses a 194 bulb but I don't know what bulb your 91 LS would use. In the Camry, after removing the trim panel, I had to remove one screw to pull the P-R-N-D-L surround up enough to allow removing the portion of the assembly that contains the bulb. You might consider popping off the wood console trim panel and taking a look. There are many design similarities across the range of Toyota and Lexus vehicles so replacing the gear selector bulb in your LS might not be very different.
