Hi all. Does any have a instruction on how to replace the anti lock brake speed sensors. They are located near the rotors. I have to change both the left and right from sensor. Help would be appreciated.

Did your current cluster read inaccurately before it took a dump? Either way I think all your problems are in the cluster. If you had access to a repair manual and a dvom you could test the sensors and harness for any issues and test the connectors at the cluster for specified values.
Everything worked great before the speedo and odo crapped out. The other gauges work good. I hope that there is a way to calibrate the odo if I replace the cluster.

OK... here goes...
1. The first problem is that my car thinks that my passenger door is open after changing the door light on my passenger side. Now the door light doesn't work at all and while I'm driving the open door light is on my console and car goes " DiiiiinG " after awhile. (I tried changing the fuse located under the glove, still no good.) Any suggestions?
2. When I try to start my car it goes " Click, " after a couple " Clicks " the car will start. I'm guessing it is the starter contacts after searching around in the forums. Could I DIY? If Yes, where can I get the parts.
3. When I brake sometimes I hear a big " CLUNK " coming from my driver front fender and I did some searching it could be fixed with a shim kit? Well, I guess this is a normal thing. I guess I can stand it for now, but if there are any suggestions on how to fix it, I would love to! (I have aftermarket brakes/rotors).
4. While I'm driving, I hear a spinning noise like it could be coming from the tires. Not sure though.
5. The door actuators going out. I've read up about those. It makes the " bap bap " noise when you try to lock up.
Well, that's about it for now that I can think of. My car is making all sorts of noises. Haha
Any/All suggestions would be great. Thanks!
I can relate to the clicking sound when you try to start your car. Your starter is going out. I had to replace mine on my 99 G3 last summer. You should replace it asap because eventually it will completely quit. I found some good directions in the maintenance portion of this forum and I bought a used starter on Ebay for 50.00 and it has worked great. I saved myself hundreds of dollars by doing it myself.

You have to replace the cluster.
When I replace the cluster will the odometer read correctly? Is the odometer just a display that get the information from the computer is will just it be incorrect.

Usually its just the cluster that went bad. Bad instrument clusters are somewhat common and they aren't cheap. and about your abs and vsc what makes you think they aren't working? Are the abs and vsc dash lights on solid? If so you have something else going on and need to get a scan tool on it.
If I replace the cluster is there a way to get to odometer to read accurately.

The other day my speedo stopped working. I can't figure out what is wrong. The other gauges are working fine. The odometer is not working either. Does anyone have a solution for this problem? From some of the other posts that I have seen, some people have had the problem with their speedo working intermittently. Mine just stopped. Please Help before i get a ticket.:cries::cries:
Thanks

dude my instrument cluster died also. it was so hard to find some one to fix it. I found one an ebay they go from $150 to $300 used . Cheaper then getting mine fix. They wanted to charge me between $650 to $800 they wanted to ship it to japan to get it fix. It was going to take like 3 weeks to get it back. I bought 1 from a 99 gs400 to put my gs300 and everything works fine except the rpm needle. I have it tested and the engine is fine but the rpm is all over the place. Good luck
What did you do about the odometer bering off. Is there a way to to set to odo so that it is accurate again?

I have the same problem have you found a solution.

I have a 99 G3 and I am curious to know if anyone has experienced the same sounds that I have. I heard a clunk sound when i release the accelerator one morning just after getting on the highway. I haven't had any major problem with my Lex, but I want to know if this may mean the start of a problem. Also I was wonder if anyone had experienced a slight jerk when the transmission upshifts at very slow speed. It seem to only occur when it is going from 1st to 2nd. I am curious to nkow if this is normal or if i need to take immediate action.
Thanks in advance for your help!
