so i will have to remove the whole tail light out of the car? and are you positive this isn't connected to a fuse? what happen was this::: when i was installing my HID, i put one side backwards by mistake. i lined up red wires with wired vehicle wires..but it was the wrong side. thanks

Hello. I have electrical short, and i checked all the bulbs, but i couldn't find the problem. a few days ago, i got a ticket from a state trooper stating that my license plate lights are off. 1995 es300 there are two bulbs (right and left of the license plate) and both of them are bad. from this, i suspect that a fuse is blown. However, i couldn't find "license plate fuse" on my owner's manual. Can anyone tell me where i need to look? also, can anyone tell me how to change the license plate bulbs? (i tried to take the whole tail light, but i am sure there's a simpler way. thank you.

our oil filter location is not the best place

my ower's manual doesn't say anything about it. does my car comes with traction control? or is it something that came with 97+ es300s. if i do have it, how can i turn it off/on. thanks.

1995 es300

non-interference engine is the one that is safer one right? when timing belt snaps, valves don't get bent (looking like little mushroom patch)

do you know what RMS power rating the stock amp produce?

wonderful, please do that and let us know. i am stuck with the same problems.

i went to the dealership..they said "change timing belt when the car has 120k" 250 for timing belt change isn't bad at all, i paid 860 for my last car for the 100k service. which included timing belt, oil seals, accessory belts, thermostat, water pump.

before i can fix an electric short, i am hit by another problems. when i use cruise control, it will work for 3 seconds, then it doesn't work anymore. then cuise control light blinks 5 times (according to the manual, it means cruise control malfunction) what can possibly go wrong with cruise control??

true. alarm systems can be very complex..especially ones with 5-6 shock sensors.

stick to name brand if you are not sure. get mid-higher price ranged ones. get one with many sensors..shock sensors . 5-6 shock sensor LCD pager/key remote start voice sensors really good ones let you roll windows up and down from the remote.

you have two options.. install an aftermarket cd player OR add a cd changer to your car (ebay or www.car-parts.com) if you install the aftermarket cd player, you will have to purchase a dash kit 24.99 (somewhere on internet..or your local best buy or sound shops will sell it to you for around 49.99) you will have to bypass the stock amp (underneath the front passenger seat) if you go with adding a cd changer, you just plug it back on the left side of the trunk. if you want bass. upgrade your rear speakers to better 6x9 (only with aftermarket cd player radiosetup) or add an external amp + sub or one of those powered subs. but remember 1 thing..stock radio unit will have to work with amp. if you keep stock headunit, you keep the amp. If you get aftermarket cd player, you must gut the amp.

thank you very much for your unconditional effort.

the answer is either on this page or the next one. we've just talked about this issue last week.

speed sensor failure. i've heard of it a while back. (not for a lexus though) i thought those things are indestructable

O2 sensor is something that goes bad on cars all the time..just like spark plugs.. it's actually in the general maintaince category. if you call around, i am sure you can get a good deal on it..i say..60-80 bucks. (shouldn't take much at all) your car will run..but your will really bad gasmileage..like 10-15 miles a gallon. so earlier you do it, you will save money by putting less fuel into your car. if this goes forever..like a few years or so..you will cause some engine problems.

so aftermarket speakers are compatible with stock lexus amplifier.. what's the RMS on the stock oem lexus amplifier? and can i replace it with stronger amp and power my aftermarket speakers? also..does anyone know the size of the speaker wires (gauge)? (if it's 16 gauge or thicker, it would save me a lot of time, b/c i wouldn't have to run new speaker wires. thankx.

so..can you add rca jack to the end of the signal wire? It that could work, I would love to keep my stock radio b/c it blends in better with the whole dash. this is what i would like to do:: keep the stock radio, just replace 4 speakers. will aftermarket speakers work with stock amp?

thank you for your help. by the way, how does radio send signals to amp.. RCA cables OR speaker leads? thanks.

I am full of questions today, please help me out. i figured out how to remove the whole stock radio & stock amp (under the passensger seat) i know how to remove front/rear speakers .. i am pretty sure i can remove the front squakers (or whatever they are called..in the dash) you just pop the grille, and pop out the speakers, right? (i need confirmation) Can my aftermarket cdplayer work with stock speakers (if amp is not bypasses)? how to bypass the amp? what's the size of the squakers? should i do 3 way components in the front (using squaket space)? somepeople said there isn't a harness, but i just bought one from ebay (does anyone familiar with this)? can anyone give me wire colors for the radio? what's the best way to route 4 gauge wires into the vehicle from the battery? thanks a bunch!

those things pop out like that? i thought you would have to remove the whole dash like some cars. thanks for good info.

are you sure it's the head gasket? and not the valve cover gasket? i haven't owned a single japanese car that had a bad-head gasket. but every single one of them had a bad valve cover gasket.

don't they have a grease-like material you can use? they have everything at the hardware store. I am sure they have a sealer or some kind of thing in a tube you can use. let me know if anyone knows what it's called. My driverside door is making wind noise.
