  1. Sorry I guess I wasn't clear on this. It is the rear cup holder on the console between the front seats. Also I don't need the cup holder - just need to know how to attach the spring.
  2. The rear cup holder has an little arm with spring which swings down when the cup holder is opened to hold the cup holder while open. While trying to unjam the cup holder. the little arm and spring came off. I'm trying to find which way the spring goes so I can reattach it. It is so small and the area to work is small. The spring is a few coils with the ends coming off at angles, sort of like this \ o/ Does anyone knows of a photo of this or can tell me the orientation of the spring. I assume it goes on in such a way so it compresses when closing the top.
  3. Recently my Rear Light Failure Warning Light on my 2000 RX300 came on. I discovered the top center bulb out and replaced it with the type recommended in the owners manual. But the Warning light would come back on when I stepped on the brake. Yesterday the low fuel light came on and the Warning light did not come on no matter how many times I stepped on the brake. After filling the tank and the low fuel light went out, the Warning light came on again after I stepped on the brake. It appears that it is not anything to do with the rear bubs but with the detection of bulb failure. Any suggestions appreciated.
  4. I have a 2000 RX300 with 110k miles. I've started getting an intermittent P0768 code. The check engine light will come on and then next time I start it,it will be off, and stays off for 1-2 weeks. When I check the code it is always P0768. The transmission appears to shift fine. I'm taking it to a transmission shop, but thought I'd ask for anyone's experience so I can be ready when the mechanic tells me his findings. Does this sound like a solenoid failure? Loose wire? Transmission?
  5. About 5 years a ago I replaced a failing battery. About a week later an oxygen sensor failed. Two weeks ago I had to replace the battery and a week later an air-fuel ratio sensor failed. Is there some step in the replacing battery procedure that I need to be doing, or are these failures just coincidence?
  6. I was curious about this since I own a 2000 RX300, so I contacted Lexus. Thier reply "Lexus does not have any information in regards to the failure rates of transmissions in the early RX 300 models." I find it difficult to believe that with a focus on customer satisfaction that they would not track failure rates of major components. Even Kia probably does that! I would have felt better if they told me something like x% had major problems requiring major repair or replacement, and y% had minor problems resulting in repair for less than $1000. Their response seems to indicate they have something to hide.
