Thanks!!! This spelling this out nicely: "The phone ECU is on the right side of the trunk beneath the easily removable small false floor panel exposed when the carpet mat is removed" Trying to pull back on those side panels is a pain. Getting to the floor panel was far easier! I disconnected the two connectors coming out of the wiring harness from the front of the car and attached together. Started the car twice and no bleeping beep. :) Yeah!! I uploaded some photos with labeling to my gallery. They don't show up when I try to attach. I will try and attach again tomorrow for future reference.

BTW, I did figure out how to replace the felt washer in the tilt steering gear box. Motor was working but steering wheel would not go up and down. Both cars had this problem. Plastic gear was in good shape but the felt washer holding it in place had deteriorated. After watching a YouTube video, I got a rubber grommet, sliced it in half (two round halves) and used that to hold gear in place. Been working like a champ for 11 months.

Little old lady was second owner. The car cosmetically was not in "great" shape. Tan interior was stained/dingy/dirty/warn and bad clear coat on hood to trunk. I did buy a '94 last year with 78000 miles that was immaculate (black/black). When I bought it, it had the bog down problem on acceleration. The used car dealer supposedly fixed it. About two weeks later it did the same thing. After some investigation on the dealer's part, they bought it back from me. I bought the '95 a week later. I wish the '95 had the black/black and condition of the '94. If so, I would splatter all kinds of pictures on here. <hahaha>

Thanks for the reply. Not sure about maintenance. I bought it from an older lady that could no longer drive. For this I am strongly leaning toward timing, water pump, etc. Thanks!

I bought a 95 LS400 this time last year with 130k miles. Other than radio pooping out the car has run fine but I think for a V8 the car is a bit slow on acceleration. I drive a lot but not hard but when I stick my foot in it I think the car should speed up faster. I am around 150k miles and it is time to replace tires and a ball joint. While I am at it, I am thinking about getting a tune up and timing belt replacement (mileage driven). Car runs smooth. I will probably drive for another 6 months and give to my parents. Before I dump a lot of money in the car I am concerned with the performance and I am getting lifter tapping. Thoughts?

Knocking dust off this.... I have a 95 LS400 with factory phone and it is constantly making the button tone. I have seen posts saying the ECU needs to unplugged and it is located on the right and others say left. I pulled back the panels in the trunk driver's side. Found out not to unplug the red box. It does tail lights. There are connections at the base of the antenna. Is that the phone ECU? Those trunk panels are hard to manipulate. Anyone have any far back photos showing where the ECU is specifically located? Radio is broken so bare minimum of disabling the speaker is a very favorable option. Thanks!
