I have1999 RX300 with 85K. I recently brought an air compressor which plugs into the cigarette lighter holder. I tried to see how it works. I filled the air into 3 tires and while filling the air into 4th tire, it stopped working :cries: . I tried to touch the lighter plug and it was very hot. I hooked up the air compressor into my other car and it worked. I checked the lighter fuse and it is okay. It seems to me that it is a problem with the cigarette lighter plug itself. It looks like I may have to take off cigarette lighter plug to see if any wire has come out. I am clueless as to how to take it out. If it is a small job, I will try to do it myself. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I had the same problem. Dealer told me to change the MAF meter. He changed it and it did not fix the problem. I went back to him and he looked into it and said that now the O2 sensor is bad. He changed the O2 sensor and the problem was solved. I don't know that MAF change was really needed.

I had the same problem with my driver door, 2 years back with my 1999 RX300. I lived with it for a year and then finally went to the dealer and he replaced the door lock assembly. I think it costed me around $300-350 :cries: . I hope this helps.
