Hey I'm trying to get a passenger mirror for a 97 LS 400. Can you give me a price ? Shipping to NY zip 11212. Thanks.

Wow! Thanks a lot. I'll save this link for later; it would definitely come in useful.

Hey Guys, I have a problem getting a mirror glass for my 1997 LS 400 which was stolen, but I still have the housing. The dealer is asking $400.00 just for the glass (with the backing plate), and I can't seem to get one to buy anywhere for a reasonable price. I was thinking, does anyone know if the backing plate on any 1 st generation model can fit on the 97 LS? The reason is that I'm thinking of buying a 1st Gen mirror, removing the backing plate, put that in my housing and then buying a piece of plain mirror glass which I will glue to the 1 st gen backing plate. I know this sounds a bit confusing, but the question is, will, say a 1994 LS mirror glass backing plate fit the housing of a 1997 LS? I don't care that it is not the same shape, just want to know if it will fit. Thanks.

It should work on the Lexus as long it has the correct amount of cranking amps. Just check the old battery and make sure that the new one has either the same cranking amps or more.

Problem solved. I just moved the gear shift through all the positions and then back to park, and the car started right up. I guess that might have reset something? Probably the theft deterrent ECU? I dont really know, but everything is good now. Thanks to everyone for all the helpful comments.

Just an update for everyone who replied to my post and anyone else who is interested. It turns out, I charged the battery and asked my son to turn the key while I listened to the relays picking up under the hood. I took the cover off the starter relay and noticed that it wasn't picking up. With the key in the run position I used a probe from my meter to close the contacts (on the starter relay), and the car started. Now I have to figure out why the relay is not picking up. Could be the relay is bad, or has a bad ground. I'm open to suggestions. Thanks again for all the input.

Thanks a lot , will try as soon as possible. I'm just spending the holiday weekend at my parents' house. Thanks once again.

???????????? You're kidding me right ???????????? Positive to Positive ... Negative to Negative!!!!!!!!!! No I'm not kidding, this is just what happened.

It still doesn't crank. When I turn the key, some dash lights go off like they normally do when you turn the key to the start position, but when I release it, since it doesn't start, they come back on. However, I could hear the starter relay picking up and the engine main relay, but it does not crank.

???????????? You're kidding me right ???????????? Positive to Positive ... Negative to Negative!!!!!!!!!! Are your dash lights working before you jump it or when you are jumping it or still working after you jump it? Wrong connection with the jumper cables can fry a lot of stuff and blow fuses. You may have problem with the starter and not the battery. N.C.O. The dash lights all work and I don't see any blown fuses. That may be because he didn't connect the jumper to the positive battery terminal. He connected the positive jumper to the negative terminal and the negative jumper to a car body ground. Also, the starter was good just before he jumper it. It always started on first turn of the key.

My son was giving my 97 LS400 a boost from another car. He connected the positive jumper cable to the negative battery terminal of the LS and the negative battery terminal to the carbody of the LS. There was some arcing and it won't even crank. The dash lights, blower fan heater all work. But the car won't crank. The starter fuse 7.5A is good, starter relay is good, engine main good. Please help. Thank you in anticipation.

Thanks a lot cmmetcalf. i'll do just that. sorry about not replying earlier; computer was down. DanW, Thank you for the notes. Have you noticed any change in performance, i.e. fuel economy? Thanks, glenmore 1990 LS400 1991 300CE 2000 C280 Performance, no. Fuel Economy, about 1 mpg overall. Seems like mileage is less sensitive to cold weather that it was last year. Best part, that pesky CEL doesn't come on! Got a question. Are all the sensors the same? Or are the upstream ones different from the downstream? I have a 1997 LS 400 and I need to change all of them. Thanks They are different. Go to www.oxygensensors.com . I've used them several times and find them good to work with with good prices and free shipping.
