the PWR/2nd light will not light up unless you push those buttons (located to the upper right of the shifter). those should normally be off. as for the suspension control lights, see if the "off button" has been pressed. if it is, the "off" light should be illuminated in the center cluster. normally, there should only be one dot lit (usually it is "N"). other than that, the seat belt light flashes until you fasten your belt. also, when the headlights, the green indicator light comes on. other than that, everything should normally not be lit. Thank you so much for the reply. No one had replied to me and I have an appointment with the shop on Thursday. The problem is, I don't want to know about the lights in the dash, what I want to know are the buttons on the center consule between the two fron seats where the buttons are that you push in. I am not sure if the pwr/2nd indicator buttons on the center consule to the right are lighted. I believe that they use to be. Please check your car next time you drive at night and let me know. Also the knob that indicates the suspension control levels. Thanks again.

I need some help. I had some electrical work done on my car. On my center consule around the shifter, I have some indicator lights that do not illuminate anymore and I am not quite sure if they should all illuminate or not. If someone could check and see and let me know I would greatly appreciate it before I go back to the shop and let them know which ones should be lighted. One of my seat warmer indicator is lighted and one is not, so I know the other one should light up. My PWR/2ND button does not light up, but I think it used to. Also on my supsension contorl, the different levels possible, do not light up and I think they used to light up also. I can't find info on this in my manual. Please help.

The parts you see on the bumper are not cameras, they are the near IR emitters. The camera is by the center rear view mirror. All you would do by blocking part of the emitters would be to possibly reduce range and clarity. Thank you for clarifying this for me. So if there is an inch on both sides of these transmitters, there probably would not be any interference with the night vision system. Do you agree with this?

What are you trying to protect the center against? I replaced the entire center bumper w/ the steel ARB sahara bar. I replaced the rear with a Kaymar dual-pivot towbar. If you get in a collision w/ a center protector, they usually bend into the hood and cause more damage. The ARB replacement bumpers are airbag tested, as you have to replace the front aluminum crush beam behind the OEM bumper...all that comes off (front bumper cover, foam beam, aluminum beam). You'd have to mount the night vision sensor in the air intake slot in the bumper (just use an angle drill from the bottom). For stuff like deer, I hear that center guards are sufficient (probably varies by brand). I have ARB bars on both of my trucks, a full wraparound type on my 4runner (got it after almost running into a herd of deer in the middle of the road in Canyonlands NP in late Dec at dusk, 60 mi from the nearest town). Likewise, I have kaymar rear bumpers on both of my vehicles. 4Runner was bumped TWICE in the rear bumper corner by a teenager trying to park a Tahoe in the mall lot...barely even scratched the powdercoat on the bumper, as it's 1/4" plate steel. With a typical OEM plastic bumper, one would have a huge dent in the corner. http://clublexus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=233506 Thanks Jim. I basically want to protect the car from Manhattan parking and I own a home in Pennsylvania, have had a couple of close calls with deers. I have a skid bar in the back. The only company that has claimed it will not interfere with the night vision sensors is Jaos. The width of the center protection is 32 inches on the outer edge. They claim it will allow one inch of space by each sensor. I am not totally convinced because the sensors are angle inwards slightly. I just want to make sure the the Jaos center protection will not interfere. The company also is telling me that there are only a few available and then they will discontinue them.

I had a similar problem a couple of years ago, it was a high pitch tone/whistle sound. It was coming out of my air conditioning vents. I brought it to my Lexus dealer's attention, they changed something with the air conditioner and it has never done it again.

I had the same problem with my 2003 on the passenger side. I had about 35,000 miles. I think it had something to do with the fact that I have a "Coach Leather" edition. They changed the leather cover a couple of years ago, the new cover seems thicker, but I never had the same problem again. The drivers side is cracking a little, but not to bad. They replaced the cover under warranty.

I had a problem last year where my truck stayed in the low mode and would not go back to the normal mode. Also I could not get it into the high mode. My lexus dealer replaced the system, they did it even though I was just over the 50,000 mile warranty. They said the car should not be doing this.

I have a 2003 LX 470. I was looking into a brush guard or a center protection. I have decided against the brush guard, but am close to purchasing a Jaos center protector for my car. They told me that the outer width is 32 inches and it should not interfere with the night vision sensors. I was wondering if anyone has experience or has installed a center protection, and if they have had any issues with the night vision. I have contacted T & H and Manik, both have told me they have had problems with interference. Jaos claims that the have not, but yet they have discontinued their brush guards for the lx 470 and will be discontinuing the center protection. Please help
