rebeccaberry99rx300

I read this post a few years ago and finally had the nerve to try it today -- IT WORKED!! I took apart the inside starting from the rear door of my RX300 and from the spare tire well. I did find as was suggested that a piece of the plastic tie (sp?) was left in the motor. It was so simple to take apart the motor housing, remove the broken piece, reattach everything and reinstall the motor on the car. I fed the new antenna in as instructed and viola' !! I have a working radio!! Thank you so much! All I needed as a thin phillips head screwdriver, a small flat head to pull off those plastic screws and my 5 year old for an assistant!

My 99 RX300 has the same issue where the ignition won't turn - I have tried all of these solutions to no avail. The ONLY thing that works for me is trying it over and over again. I have found that it will not happen if I carefully turn the ignition off making sure to NOT pull on the key until it is in the release spot. If my daughter or anyone else drives my car it ALWAYS gets stuck.
