My New 1996 Ls400 Ride

Recommended Posts

REMOTE PROBLEMS.. MY REMOTE WILL LOCK ALL 4 DOORS and go beep, but will not unlock door/trunk.

New quote: this Ls400 will not program itself to receive a new signal. let me explain.

first: I know how to program a remote... done several..

I go thru the program, KEY in/out, lock/unlock/ close/open. lock/unlock, key in/out w/turn (1&2)

BUT THE PROGRAM NEVER CYCLES THE LOCKS to let you know to PRESS THE REMOTE(send the signal)

I have PRESSED THE REMOTE anyway, but to no avail...

the system will not receive it....

IN MY MIND, I wonder "where this program is stored".....

ALSO, is there a "blown fuse/loose connection" somewhere???

Davenport, JP Importz, PP, Sewell.... basically say the same thing "I never heard of that one"

can any of you offer any suggestions or answer my "thoughts"??

thanks

OLD QUOTE(Well guys, I done it. I bought another Diamond White Pearl.

this one is a 96, but it only has 153K miles on it, clean as a pin.

I have full history on it. He was late putting TB/WP on it.

It was replaced Jan 2, 2009 at 141646 miles.

BUT the remote (FOB) dosent work. program wont activate.

carried it to Park Place Lexus, all they did was lie to me.

estimated 700-1000 dollars and never mentioned electronics.

just a door lock and 2 actuators to start... said 2 doors didnt lock.

LIE, all 4 doors lock and unlock with button AND with the key.

ANYWAY... if any of yall know where the program memory is,

maybe I can swap it off my 97 OWP car before I sell it.. ?? .

what do you think? suggestions?

I just wanted 2 matching LS's. and DWP is pretty.

Oh, I kept my chrome wheels.

wow! your as obsessed with LS400's as i am! how much did you get this one for? How much do you want for your OWP? How's the 90k difference feel between cars?

Looks just like my 95! :) I have some 98' rims i'm gonna put on her.

Have you tried using one of the fobs from your other cars? 95-97 is compatible i do believe.

Sorry about the dealers, they are there to make money, not help.

Congrats :cheers: looks great! Twin DWP's! How do you decide which one to take out?

So, given your vehicle ownership history, what's next for Billy?

Yep, I love them... gave $4500 of the 96, want $4500 for the 97.

there is no difference other than the PS is easier in the 96.

and yes I tried, the 96 program just wont activate, I know how to do it.

Probably a stupid question but what do you mean by "TB/WP"?

I'm looking at a 96 and wondering what this might mean. Thanks.
