Hi guys! My car is blinking the O/D light in the panel. The shift selector is not according to the shifter position (i.e. when shifter is in reverse there is no white light in the tail lapm; also shifter is in "2" and the "D" is on).

Also the a/c indicator when turned on in a few seconds strat blinking and the compressor shut off; I had to oush the button several times until it finnally stopped blinking and the a/c then works normally.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi again guys! My GS have a problem that both panel and shifter base indicator don't synchronize with the shiffter position. Example, when I place shift in "2", the "D" light came on (is the only time panel indicator works). Is there a sensor malfuntion? which one is to order it?

Thanks again!

Amp is apart from radio. I believe it's in the trunk for 1st gen. GS, under the CD player.

It was right there, thanks for the info.

If your GS has one of the old dealer installed Lexus phone systems, failure of the phone ECU in the trunk can cause sudden total loss of all sound from the audio system. The phone system is integrated into the audio system including a feature that mutes the audio system sound when a phone call is in progress and sometimes also lowers the HVAC blower speed. When the phone ECU fails, it often permanently grounds the mute connection to the audio system. The solution is usually to unplug the connectors from the phone ECU in the trunk. After unplugging the connectors, if any of the unplugged connectors will plug together, then do that to complete the circuit.

I did this on a friend's 1999 LS400 a few weeks ago. Disconnecting his phone ECU restored his audio system volume instantly.

I check the whole trunk area and I didn't find any other connection than the three plugs connected to the amp. Neither a phone system. Maybe the amp is damaged. Is better to replace with a new one or repair the old? I prefer to keep all wiring with original plugging, that's an advice of well trainned electronic technician, do you agree?

Maybe your amp is failing.

In your undertanding, it needs to be replaced? It is appart from the radio? I have no experiece with Gs in this matter.

Need your advice: I has problem with the radio of my Lexus, it has all functions and the display is ok, but suddenly no sound comes out. The fuses are not blown. The premium sound description is AM FM, Cassette and 12 discs CD Changer.

Thank in advance.
