Hi everyone!! As you can tell I am new to the club, but, I am excited to learn as much as possible about my car. Never thought I could have a love affair with a car, but, I am so spoiled w/ her that I want to take care of her like the previous owner. I own a 93 ls400 and I bought her from the first owner. I have to say he took excellent care of her and she does not look as old as she is. I have had a few issues like the dash blacking out but ran out and bought capacitors and it worked!!! I do have a new dilema tho'. Battery light came on and first thing i did was check to make sure all cables were on tight and clean. It only comes on while i'm cruising and when I hit the brakes it goes out. Had the battery checked and they said it was fine but a really strange noise is coming from the battery (even when removed from car), and it was extremely hot to the touch. Can any one give suggestions please?
