2002 Lexus Rx 300 - Possible Electrical Problems?
lenore replied to A_Hull's topic in General Maintenance
I hope they didnt cross something when checking battery...I would disconnect battery again and reconnect and see if the problems go away....Also did you get Autozone to check the codes that you had? -
OH man do they still get their afternoon rations (booze)...I remember cruising with the brits years ago, and they had ration time in the afternoon...
-
Nope, those are great gaskets...torque to spec and you should be good to go...They use them in the waterpump on the RX engines....
-
Oh I forgot the tie rod ends could be loose or worn. Also maybe a bad wheel bearing...A good mechanic should be able to pin point the fault...
-
You need to rule out the tires, did this problem happen after the rotation and balance? Other possibilities could be the Ball joints and A arms, but you could have a warped disk, bad caliper (dragging on one side)...With the car on a rack, is there play in the Ball joints or A arm bushings...?

By the way NC, my daughter and son-in-law spent last week in Chicago, had a great time, but daughter came back with Bed Bug bites, really bad ones....What a way to end vacation....and from an upscale hotel....Wife and I got to babysit our new grandbaby while they played....So we were happy....Nice pictures from along the lakeshore.....someday I will try to visit...hopefully bed bugs are exterminated....

My thought is that he purposely wants the dollar to fail...that would cause an international as well as a national monetary crisis....Then we would look at government as our only solution, then BINGO Obama and his staff would have gotten their way...Wealth would have been driven out to be divided amongst the masses (in their thought process)with government being the caretaker of what money is left. (Socialism)....The world economies would fall like dominoes and societies like China and Russia would come out on top. Lets hope that real leaders emerge, and reverse all of this anti capitalism by reversing the rediculous regulations that bussiness and industry have to put up with. When our playing field is leveled to what our competitors have, we will again create jobs and revenue with Americans ingenuity.

Actually the sytem uses around 9qrts....Yep would use Toyota Type IV until the warranty expired...

Social Security, Medicare, interest on debt, military pay, all can be covered....The only ones sweating it are the bureaucrats in Washington....They would be the ones not payed...Hey The Politicians (both parties) created this fiasco, dipped into the Social security trust fund, spent like drunken sailors, and now they cry fowl when AMERICA wants it stopped. Do I feel sorry for OBAMA, nope, wrong decisions all the time...should have let the chips fall instead of trying to prop them up. Yea the politicians and whatever tell you he saved the nation..cow !Removed!...So what has he done, jobs? Chrysler (now owned by fiat), healthcare? GM? Big banks that wont give a dime to anybody? Couple more wars? Yep he is a brilliant speaker, but leader? I think not. Relies on polls to make every decision, and his band of bandits havent a clue of the real world...What do you expect from a bunch of left over radicals from my generation.? On another note: watched MSNBC last night, and yes they call themselves and the Democrats progressives...What a bunch of cry babies, and as usual treating Congress members on the right side of the aisle with absolutely no respect. At least the other networks are polite, even when they disagree. That is what our nation has come to....a bunch of sniveling, name calling, anti America media...Just like those that dont like silly chain letters, because the truth hurts...Hard to rationalize with truth... Americans are tired of the little kings and queens in the kingdom of the halls of Congress and the big White House...They want leaders, not poll chasers. Me, well I watch with excitement as they squirm in the !Removed! they created....

Sorry guys, I am out of town seeing my new grandbaby....Thank you for your observations. A few have chipped in but I am afraid some have scared the rest off from venturing into this posting. Well lets see if our nation goes down the toilet with whatever decision Obama and Congress make before August....Why are government officials always pulling the scare card on Seniors and Military when they dont get their way.? Same thing happens with local decisions, they always say they are going to cut police, fire, and education. I swear why dont they just deal with the budget truthfully?

If you can get it use Mobil 1 full synthetic tranny fluid....works great, however you may void any warranty given with the transmission.

Does resetting the adjustments work? Maybe your battery took a low dip and the memory erased....

Sorry, cant help you with your love for Obama The bible is a great book whether percieved as devine or as a masterpiece Excessive government is poison to the health of our nation A woman body belongs to her, but the government support of Abortion is wrong I have spoke to many hospital administrators, and health cost are going up, because the problem was not fixed...It is a multi part problem with a need for real problem solving, start tort reform. Then follow the budgets and missuse of funds, and poor billing practices...eliminate the pharmesulticals control on price fixing. There is a huge problem, and Obama would not even let the other views be heard or accepted....Insurance and Medicare are also a major contributor to cost, When was the last time the government balanced anything?
-
I don't disagree with any of that, but what you have to realize is that we have to temper the speed at which we move towards those things with the still fragile recovering economy. We can't just stop the spending right now... It is not just "business as usual" in America, or anywhere in the world for that matter... The goal would be to reduce spending and increase revenues to where we wouldn't have to raise the debt ceiling next time...but this time the money has been spent...it MUST be raised, and it will be raised. And I believe that has been offered (I dont agree with raising the limit) But OBAMA said he will veto it because he will not sign a balanced budget admendment. I personally would rather see government shut down, pay only social security, our military, and the interest on our debt. It is time for Congress to grow up and recognize what they have done. We didnt do it, they did. Sometimes idiots need a smack in the side of the head before you can get their attention. Congress needs to wake up...Hey it may be the first time in their tenure that they actually had to work, and solve real problems. The queens and kings have bled us dry. Kind of like farming the same land year and year and depleting the minerals until the soil no longer produces...We are in for a great "dust bowl"

Your opinion. Anyways, like I said if the Christian right would lay off their war on America's youth, I think you'd find people wouldn't care so much about the word "God" being thrown around. Much like if we didn't try and control their land and way of life, you'd find radical muslims wouldn't care so much about us either. That is not opinion,read the constitution.... See, this is the problem. Because I am not religious, and don't think the government should legislate people's lifestyles and have a pragmatic view of the cultural changes that are occurring in our country...I'm "on the left"? I have not made one statement in here about fiscal policy or anything of that nature. THAT is the problem with the conservative movement in the United States. If you don't believe in God...you can't be conservative regardless of what your record has shown. not true, I dont care if you believe in God or not, that is your right that my constitution has given you. I know many folks that dont believe in God, and they are conservative. They believe just as you do in doing right, and have moral values... Whats your source for the statement that illegal aliens have brought "health epidemics" to our country? I called the CDC and received this as the reason we are having these problems in the health industry...Whooping cough is now an epidemic in many states do to the illegals not having the proper vacinations. See, you don't understand what the debt ceiling is. The money has already been spent, failing to raise the debt ceiling simply will cause us to default on that debt, that money we have ALREADY spent, a default that will cause the US to loose its top credit rating and endanger the stability of the debt we already owe to other countries. So much of how the modern global economy works is tied up in the availability of super-assured bonds that our triple A rating provides. We simply don't know what will happen to the global economy if we default. The government won't be able to pay a good chunk of its bills, including potentially pay to soldiers, retirees, etc. Failing to raise the debt ceiling is akin to telling our country's creditors "We know we spent the money, but we're not going to pay". Its like running up a credit card and never paying the bill. That is the problem, cant you see we are spending more than we have.? We have to borrow 40% of every dollar we spend...If you have $100 dollars in your checkbook, do you consistantly spend $130? When do you think you will have to quit spending before you go broke.? Again, this is money ALREADY SPENT. Why do you think the GOP has taken default off the table? We can raise the debt ceiling, and still work on trying to bring down the deficit...but not raising the debt ceiling is NOT an option. NOBODY thinks this deficit spending can continue, but we can't just shut it off because the economy is still fragile. We need to draw it down over time. That is the problem, Our wonderful representatives still have folks that think spending is the only way to solve the economies problems...And quite frankly they have lost control on where it went. And like it or not, we NEED to raise taxes on those who can pay. My taxes would get raised, I'm not running up and down the street jumping for joy over it...but we don't have any choice. Yes, raise the taxes and follow the cycle that has gone on too long..Do you really think raising taxes will stop the spending.? There needs to be a balanced buget amendment. Have you really figured out exactly what you pay in taxes, not just income, but gas, electricity, telephone, sales tax, property tax, etc....Really sit down and you will be stunned. I personally am for TAX reform going to either a use tax or flat tax...Then I expect government to balance their checkbook...hey maybe we cant help out tim/buk/ fue in some foreign country next year...Oh and sorry, but welfare to work means the goal is work, not welfare for the rest of your life.
-
Where exactly is that money going to come from? The more we tax the more than spend...They cant balance a checkbook...That like saying Josh you need to give me 50 dollars out of your hundred so I can support this or that...then next week saying hey Josh I need 10 more...Did your wage increase the extra 10 (no) but they dont stop...Their idea of balancing a budget is spend it all so that next year you can ask for more, even though by the end of the year you didnt spend it....I have seen this. Wouldnt it be better to run it like a business and say hey for every 10% you save on your budget we will give a bonus of say 1% to be divided amongst the employees as an incentive to not spend like drunken sailors (sorry shipmates) ....

Hey too many tangents to cover, the discussion is great, Remember seperation of Church and State doesnt mean no reference to God in our monuments, dollar, or pledge. I am not a right wing christian, I am a conservative. The Degradation of all references to God in our historical songs, pledges, and monuments by groups like the ACLU destroys the fabric by which this country was built on. Their true agenda is to tear down this nation and replace it with a no borders, no language free zone. Folks on the left (and from what steve writes he is more to the left than be central) have given themselves this name of progressives (MSNBC) People like Chris Mathews constantly refers to progressives, (not the left) And so I have picked this term of progressives as the new left, to make people not feel ashamed of their views. Funny when most folks are young they tend to follow the left side of the aisle, not realizing the damage government has done to our society. The last democrat that had convervative values was John F. Kennedy...He believed in smaller government and fiscal conservatism. Unfortunately when Lyndon Johnson took the reigns our great society and government will take care of you syndrom escalated. (hince welfare) and look what we have, generations of welfare moms, dads, and children. Medicaid also started and that is when medical cost sky-rocketed. As soon as government got its hands into the pie, the unscrupulous found the suckers in government to charge what ever they could get. Historically the Government has not successfully ran a single organization and maintained their budget without constant increases....Oh and guess what, they produce nothing. So now we are in a major mess, spent too much, no jobs probably in reality 14% unemployment (except in DC) and no solutions to the impending cliff that we are about to fall off to financial disaster. With the huge increase of illegal immigrants (do again to our do nothing government) we become a third world country while those countries surpass us in growth, education, and technology. My poor grandchildren now have to have 50 plus shots because of this out of control health epidemics from the illegals...Wow used to have to get these shots to go to third world countries. Now you dont even have to travel. NC your views are exceptional, but exactly where has OBAMA stopped any of this financial crisis? He has grown government by 30% and increased our debt a record 14.3 trillion dollars. That with the lost of the gold standard and fixed budgets is causing the dollar to look no better than what they did in Europe before World War II and barrels of money were worthless...worth more for feeding a fire to warm your hands. That my friend is where we are heading if the spending is not cut. The market is nervous because of this tit and tat between the congress and Obama, but if the debt ceiling isnt frozen than we will have the same problem 6 months from now. This is a moment in history to stop this madness. Hey I just as everyone else have a tremendous amount to loose. But we certainly dont want to end up like Greece, Spain, etc. Heck the SEIU will have to stop work to do more rioting like in those countries..(by the way wifey is a member, but completely disagrees with their motives). The can as OBAMA said should not be kicked down the road, great words, but no action...Funny at times he says things that make sense, but he never commits...He is truely can not be trusted. So now we have the giants (in their minds) fighting this battle for power...the left (progressives) and the right (Christian conservatives)(oh sorry right wing radical christians) That shows you what we have come to, a bunch of mud slingers with no possibility of solving real problems in the real world. Kind of makes you proud to be American. (the new emerging third world country)

Army of 1 Thanks josh for jumping in, I very much enjoy your views. I too was young once and the politics of the day were very disturbing (Vietnam war). Heck I was spat on in Oakland California while being processed at the Army induction center...I had no choice, our govenment said you will register and get a physical...Those were very disturbing moments in my life, I was 18 and Strangers were calling me baby killer, etc...and I wasnt even in the Service...I am proud to have served (UNITED STATES NAVY) and I will look back and generally only remember the good times. That moment in Oakland was not what represented my life in those years...Beware Josh, you defend this nation, but your leaders can make decisions that are not good, or good. You (sorry to say) have no rights, because you are a service man...compared to the folks that didnt serve and have the freedom to spit on our flag, or not support your effort. I understand. My father was a 20 year veteran, and I am proud of you for carrying on the traditions that make our country great. Your view is important. May be different from mine, but very important, because at any moment you can be in harms way. Thank you so very much for your service, and again good luck. I will put you personally in my prayers until your safe return.

funny how the progressives always attack the Christians....I find that disgusting...Just because you are a Christian doesnt mean that you are extreme. THis country was founded by Christians...and all the progressives want to do is tear down the founding fathers doctrine that gave freedom for Religion and excessive Taxation. The values that we have lost in the last 50 years is the cancer of our society. Progressives have thrown dollar after dollar in programs that have created a whole class of welfare slavery....I feel sorry for these folks, but maybe money would have been better spent demanding the education of these folks so that a job would be the carrot at the end of the road. I know of what I speak, I have experienced it in my own family...I have tried with money, but that doesnt work. Education and job placement is what is needed. Seems the charities do a better job at doing that, and spend a great deal less. Groups like the Salvation Army, etc are to be admired for their efforts and what they do. Churches (yes right wing) constantly are trying to help their communities....Funny the Christian faith seems to do a lot of good for our fellow man. Obama? a choice, well you got it and he as far as I am concerned is the worst since Jimmy Carter...Clinton did far better in steering this country, yes made mistakes here and there, but didnt destroy us. I have talked to so many small business owners, and they are frustrated...Government has tied their hands, and the unknown has made it even worse on trying to figure out what your goals are for growing business. Shame you dont listen to folks like the Pizza man, or Michelle Backman. And as usual you have taken the distrust of muslims by Mr Cain out of context which is typical with progressive thinkers. Listen to his message, he wants to fix things...What in the heck as OBAMA fixed? more war zones and undeclared wars with no money to support them. (Oh are we still not doing Afghanistan and Lybia) The real culprits are Iran, and Saudi Arabia... with Yemen not tagging far behind. I listen and watch all networks and it is amazing to see facts so falsified....MSNBC, CNN, Fox. Sitdown and watch and listen, with an open mind, decipher what you are hearing and make some logical conclusions... By the way chain letters are a method thru the internet to spread what the media fails to do, which is try to give some facts in our rediculous society. It is no more different than newspapers, magazines, Radio, and TV. Yes you do have to weed out the garbage, just like what you hear on the news...It is more grass roots and what our country men really believe, not what the Beltway idiots want us to believe. Washington is a sesspool of some of this nations most radical ideas, and unfortunately dont support the "silent majority". Well those days are gone, we are tired of groups like the SLA, Black Panthers, SIEU, trying to direct our government through militant rallys, itimidation, and huge sums of money given to the Progressives so that their agenda will only be heard. NC You are a master at communication, I wish I had your skills, but I am a hard working blue collared worker (38years in a major corporation), a Father, Grandfather (9 babies that I would give my life for) and last but not least according to some in Washington a potential terrorist, (janet napolitano) A proud Vietnam Veteran. I have sacrificed most of my life for my country, my family, and I will be darned if I will lie down to the progressives that want to eliminate God from our monuments, money, and pledge to the United States. When we eliminate any counter to one view in this country this country will no longer be a represented democracy... I hope everyone thanks their grace every night for the freedom that our forefathers bled and lost their lives. I know Bush II was severly hated by the media, but at least he loved this country...Misstakes yep, But I have never seen the likes of Michelle Obama claiming "for the first time she is proud of her country"....How sad. We have made huge strides toward equality in this country, And I for one dont like the branding of color on anyone...I would like to see the day when color was blind and we referred to ourselves as AMERICANS, not the race card pushing folks like JESSE and others. Heck I have all of the races in my family and I consider them family, not my Black sister in law, etc. OBAMA made history but what his wife said was the most classless statement I have heard from a first lady. I am completely opened minded, but dont belittle my views whether they be "SILLY" chain mail, or otherwise based on your matra statements that progressives always say when it doesnt agree with the form book. Tell me why what I started this post SNOPES should be supported 100% when they failed to give the facts. I support your view to be different, and I respect that, thank goodness I fought for your country to provide you that freedom...
