Bronto Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Hi guys,my 05 LS430 warning light will not shut off and it's driving me bonkers! The trunk is closed (thats another story). 2nd issue, the "doors open' light won't shut off either.. The instructions for reseting it in past threads doesn't work either. Help with these two issues?

jainla Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 What's the warning? It should tell you what it thinks is wrong (trunk open could mean disconnected or bad sensor). the 'doors open' light is…. dome light? Dash light? You can try replacing the battery if it's old; older batteries can lower the voltage on the electrical system which causes all kinds of strange issues.

Bronto Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Jainla, Yes the warning light displays the Trunk is Open (its not)-how do I disengage the trunk sensor? Secondly,the warning light that indicates a door is open (red car with doors open) will not disappear either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landar Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Brian, here is my crazy idea. Why don't you open each door, one-at-a-time, and view the dash for this "door open" icon. Then, with the door open, push the door switch in with your thumb to make the car think the door is closed. The switch is located about half-way up the inside of the inner door frame and has a rubber boot over it. If the light goes off, then that switch is probably good. If the light stays on, then the switch is bad. You may need a helper to sit in the drivers seat and tell you what the icon is doing. I also suppose that the switch could be good but the door is not striking it correctly(positioning is off...something needs adjusting). As concerns the trunk...same thing. There is a switch located just to the left of the bottom latch. Open the trunk lid, see if you can press that in and get the car to "think" the trunk is closed. If the trunk icon stays on despite having it fully depressed, you probably have a bad switch or mis-positioned. Sound like a plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tete1941 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Hi I have a 01 ls 430. The dash board trunk light wont go off, when I close trunk it's not latching to close. I have to close it hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX400h Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 The latch may need to be adjusted or its screws tightened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
