thankyou all for your replies, wwest, i dont have a local junkyard that i can think of that would ever have a lexus, but i'm willing to pay you for the sensor + labor + shipping if you can get your hands on one that works. As for the traction controls guys thanks, i'm going to check the fuse today, would it be in the engine bay or the fuse box next to my feet? I think fuse is ok because when i stick the key on the ON position, it makes a clicking noise coming out of the traction control unit in the engine that sounds like a car trying to start but has no battery charge.
