Ooh finally find the cause of my random miss fires, my ECU is poached. http://imgur.com/dfyR60A

Found the problem. Goddamn I hate aftermarket alarm systems. took an hour of tracing down terrible splicing of wires into...everything. ECU, trunk and gas cap openers, ignition, etc. http://imgur.com/Ik8hVRO Now, as to why the PO put an aftermarket alarm in a car that comes from the factory with an alarm system...I hate people.

Thanks for the solution guys. ...I made another dum dum (or the car did?) I had it jacked up and the battery disconnected while I was doing some work. Nothing electrical was touched just felt it was best practice to disconnect it. after I was done i reconnected the battery and now I get the turn signals on all 4 sides and some other (DRL maybe?) flashing like I have my 4 ways on, in addition the backlighting for the AC controls and radio is pulsing with them, and the security light flashes too (3-4 flashes then stops for a few seconds, repeat). the car will not start (no crank) what the hell did i do? I called two lexus dealerships and they suggested checking all the fuses, which I did. nothing. Did the immobilizer reset (key in lock, close all doors/trunk/hood, wait, unlock door with key) to no avail.

Alright, I made a dum dum. I just bought a 96 LS400 in..."well, he accepted $1100 for the thing" condition. PO lost the key and instead of getting a new one he got a new ignition and matching key (without any remote function). So yesterday I'm playing around and push in the button with the lock on it and then immediately hate myself as now the trunk opening button doesn't work. No big deal just put the key in and unlock it right? well the new key doesn't work on the trunk lock on the outside or that button with the lock on it inbetween the trunk and gas cap buttons (if you don't know what I'm talking about i'll find a picture). Is there any way I can get into the trunk now or am I screwed till I get around to getting a working wireless fob for this thing?
