I had a low tire on my 2004 LS 430 and the warning light lit up in the Tach and the Message Center. I now have replaced the tire, but the warning light won't go off. I have pushed the button under the dash according to instructions in the manual, but the warning remains and the red idiot light remains. The manual says that if this persists after you push the button, then take the car to the dealer. Is there an alternative to this other than ignoring the message & light?

I had a 1999 LS400 for about 8 years, and it was the best car I have ever owned. I traded it in this year (240,000 miles) for an 2004 LS430 because the A/C finally went kaput - everything else was still working just dandy - $1k trade-in. (I had spent $2k on A/C repairs and it still wouldn't work, so I gave up at the beginning of the Baton Rouge summer.) The LS430 is nicer, has more whistles and bells, and seems to drive better than the LS400 ... might be the tires, might be the lower mileage (34,000 miles). The new one has the NAV option, and I had the satellite radio retro-fitted. From what I've read on this site, the tires reportedly have a LOT to do with the quality of the ride; I do have the super-duper Michelin-X tires that are considered the best for this model vehicle. The only thing I don't like is the lack of the ability for physical key-entry to the vehicle. Entry only by the grace of batteries is a liability, in my opinion. One curious thing; the LS400 had LCD dash display and when wearing polarized sun glasses I could not read the display. I changed prescription sun glasses to non-polarized amber and everything was just dandy with the LS400 display. Now I have an LS430 and the display is amber LED and I can't see the dash display again! :-)

I think Blackie's Auto Salvage is nationwide, but is also accessible via internet. They will do a free search for you and if they find one, they'll have it shipped directly to you.

Aha! I just noticed the post above pointing out the fact that it's likely the windshield washer nozzle feeds. That makes sense. Duh.

I just purchased my 2004 LS430 with 34,000 miles. Same thing happens to my trunk lid and I thought that was normal behavior.

I see wires going up the driver's side hood hinge inside of the soundproofing. Is there factory provision that's intended for a hood light? Has anyone done this? Cliff in Baton Rouge

If you go to Ebay, you can purchase a $160 GPS upgrade for 2014 for about $30. It comes with instructions, or you can just go to the internet and get video instructions for free.
