  1. Still think that engadging headlight switch partially then fully till "click" and then bulbs blew...or spilling small amount of ps fluid on alternator.."one of these caused surge...all good for now ..I will keep u all updated..thanks again everybody!!
  2. Brought back to dealer because I never had problem with trunk and gas door lid Before they installed headlight dimmer switch....while regestering car at services and telling them when problem Started ..service Man called tech and tech said problems related I said no...they brought in car and minutes later told me my car was done no charge....tech forgot To reconnect conector somewhere I dont no where ...that was that ..no sorry bout that or anything...had to drive 200 mi.

Job at dealer...so i brought in to dealer after many corespondance over phone and without further diagnosis they installed headlightdimmer..to no avail.

Now for low beams on bulbs both burnt? ..Yes both are burnt.......I just remember that morning switching n lights and turning them half way,in between clicks on switch ..thats When both blew out
  9. Must have been surge ...replaced bulbs ..so far so good all are working ...wonder if while switching on that morning With gloves on i partially engadged switch thats When they blew...or while trying to top off power steering I spilt on alternator ...4 days Later I got surge.....thanks for the help guys.never figured on surge

  16. hello Im a guy with a 94 ls 400 always need questions answered about my old but dependable car

  17. Brake light comes on , so I replace front brake pads (needed) check fluid light goes out then come on later nest day so I replaced rear did not really need replacement but did any way ... light still on now I go around car and check all sensers one in rear right wire broke so I wire knotted them together and still brake pad light on in dash. breaks work good no squeeks or anything . what up?
  18. Hi everyone its been a while ... need to replace crankshaft/harmonic balancer on front of engine that the serpentine belt is turned by. what type of puller and how much do I have to take of to get to I have a 94 LS400
  19. could it be that one or more of the 02 sensers went out? when that happens the fuel mixture can be way off and you can acually melt a cat converter and they will plug up and thats how they retain heat untill they glow red . I have seen it ! but not on a lexus. there is no where for the exhaust to go and your car will not start and if it does barely start it will run like crap. check fuel mixture/02 sensors and replace or fix. then replace the catalytic converter . its probably shot Could the cat be plugged up?? yes . when the fuel is not compleatly burned in the engine is still burning in the exhaust. I do believe it will melt the inside of the cat. which is a precious metel like titanium that is made pourous . and when it melts it becomes nonporous inhibiting the flow of exhaust retaining heat and turning the entire cat. red hot
