Whisperss Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 We replaced the battery with a Red Top and things where good to go. I go to leave a local grocery store and my car will not start... Had a family friend come to help and we tried to jump the car. It will not turn over. When the FOB is in hand and the button is pushed, there is buzzing sound from under the driver side of the car. What could this be?trim.5KIUVN.MOVtrim.7vc3EX.MOVtrim.5KIUVN.MOV
Whisperss Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 I was able to find the starter and it appears to be the stock OEM that came with the car. My next question is how in the heck do I get to the top bolt and remove the old one in that small of a space?
dcfish Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 So, You replaced the factory battery with an OPTIMA RED TOP battery... Correct ? Check the battery for proper voltage and Make sure the battery contacts are sterile clean and very tight This is so important....
Whisperss Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 Yes because the starting issue all happened with the stock battery. All connections are clean and tight. Even a jump the last time would not start the car.
dcfish Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Check the starter contacts, I had to replace mine 10 years ago, It was like $40.00
Whisperss Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 We found the issue.. It was the starter relay.. Replaced that and we are good to go. Thanks again for the help. We are Lexus noobs.
