You have to press on the brake pedal. If you are doing that, Then the switch that controls that function isn't working. Just a thought. Hi, I got it fixed. The car was used as a dog house, and the windows were left rolled down all winter, it was filled with water. The problem turned out to be the dog hair and moisture rusted the mechanism, and even pushing the saftey button would not release it, so I took apart the console and oilded the soilnoid, now it works, this car can light up the tires....whoo-hoo, I have $250 worth of parts and some labor in it! Cheers! Man o man this is a first for me! What about the smell? Sounds like it came out of scene in Deliverance. Hehehe, yeah it did smell a bit, it's getting aired out, and I stuck a large pan of baking soda inside to help. I was really surprised the carpet cleaned up, it was nearly black, but with a stiff brush and bleach water, and some soap, and a wet-dry vacuum it came very clean, must be good quality carpet, it did not rot....yet. There are tools I have to help though, I have a small plastics molding shop, so I took my biggest material dryer and stuck both air hoses in the car with the windows rolled up and let it run all day at 120 degrees, it uses large desiccant canisters which switch via air valve every 90 minutes, it runs at a minus 40 dew point, it could suck moisture out of camel dust! I noticed you mention guitar pickups, I mold all TV-Jones bobbins for his pickups, and also Lindy Fralin has me mold his special bobbins. These are the parts they wind the wire on for inside the pickups, we also make several different soap boxes for TV-Jones! The green shop in the picture of the car is my molding shop....and sometimes car repair shop! Cheers!

Cheers! I have to see pictures of this car. Dogs do a good job on door pannels!! Here are two pics: Are you missing lug nuts ? What did you pay for the car ? I got it for free!! The wheels were off it, laying in the weeds, the lady had given the tires away, the lugs were lost in her grass, I found a few. There were some lock lugs that had been on it, but they were a taper seat, not right for these wheels. It was sitting on wood blocks. She drove it till it died, 146,000 miles, then let her dogs live in it for a while, the battery went dead with the windows down last summer, This is washington, it rains a lot here...It was 3 inches deep of water in all the seat wells, and the entire interior was all mold, I cleaned the crap out of it with bleach and water, pulled the drain plugs under the car and used a lot of cosco towels, it cleaned up pretty good. It started up great with the new btiming belt and water pump, what a !Removed! to work on though, too complicated for an old chevy head like me! I was suprised it got up and moved pretty good, after 25 or so it takes off! It was headed to the scrap yard! I saved it from the crusher! I am looking for 6 lugs Cheers!

Hi, My SC 400 was found dead with a broken timing belt, it was dead and filled with water. I unbolted the driveline to tow it home, replaced the timing belt, and it runs good, except it will not come out of park!!!! I cannot move this car. What is going on? I sit in the car, make sure the seat belt is on, and try everything and it will not come out of park. Since I never owned a lexus before there must be something real stupid I am over looking? Cheers!!

Hi, I just got a 93 Sc400 that was filled with water and used as a dog house, but it did clean up well. The timing belt is broken. (the car was free) 146,000 miles I see the timing marks for the cams, but on my crank there are several marks, and I am doing this without a book. My small block chevy is laughing at how long it took me to take this apart. The question, does anyone have a picture of what marks to use on the crank? If my crank key is at 12:00, there is a U mark at 10:00, and there is a dot at 4:00, I just want to be sure to have the timing correct when I pull the pin, and I sure don't want to take this apart again because I did not time it correct! It appears as though the water pump was leaking, this ruined the bearings and the pump locked up, then it smoked the belt. The bearings were so bad that the fins on the pump impeller had hit the casting and broke!! I sure would like to see a picture of the proper marks for timing....without having to go buy a book. I bought a kit, water pump, idelers, plunger, timing belt and serpentine belt, seals and such, it cost $255 with shipping on ebay!! Cheers!!
