I just bought a 1991 Ls400 for $1000. It has 140K on it, and almost everything works, runs and drives nice, etc. It has a couple ugly spots on it (right fender has a dent, cracked taillight, and a broken power antenna) but nothing that would stop me from driving it.
Here's the questions.... It had a couple blown fuses and a blown relay because the guy accidentally reversed the polarity when installing the battery. I've fixed everything I could find, and now I only have one electrical issue. The AC display doesn't work (common, I understand), and the AC compressor won't come on. Is there a fuse or relay for it somewhere? I was told it worked before the battery incident....
The other problem is the power steering. I was told that it needed a new line but I can't pinpoint where it is leaking from. They just kept topping off the fluid till that didn't work anymore, and then they parked the car. That's when I bought it.
For $1000 I couldn't say no! My aunt has the same car with over 300K on it and counting! I'd just assume buy a shorter belt and bypass the power steering pump somehow because I can't afford to replace the whole system on a USMC paycheck.....
All help is appreciated!
