    Ah, now I'm baffled, also!

    Do you have the proper wrench for the screw heads? If that slips, then another way to get them off would be to use a Dremel tool with a small cutoff wheel. Use this to make a slot in each screw head. (Wear protective glasses.) Then use a large flat-blade screwdriver to remove each screw. Yes, it's a lot of work but my guess is that some of the screws can be removed with a hex or Torx wrench.

    Once the lid/door is open, look at the mechanical latching components. Perhaps there is excessive interference between them that prevents the door from releasing. There could be an adjustment that is needed. You can also ask a mechanic to check it out.

    Does every other key fob button work as expected?

    Are you referring to the start button on the dash? Have you checked voltage to the starter while the button is pressed?

    Did you also check for mechanical interference?

    Your Lexus parts department person may be able to tell you if the rails and wiring harness are the same for both options.

    You're welcome, Linda. Perhaps a new ignition switch would take care of it.

    You may have a hard time finding them from anywhere else. Hopefully they won't be too expensive and hey, they lasted 16 years! 🙂

    I would think that the buzzing noise is telling you that either you did not insert the key all the way, or reminding you to pull the key out before exiting the vehicle.

    Is there a "crush" washer under the bolt head? If there is, it should've been replaced with a new one. Often, this type of washer is made of aluminum so that it conforms and seals adequately.

    Is your battery fully charged and all cells with distilled water to the full line? Did you change all those items or did the dealership. If the dealership did, they should not let your vehicle leave the shop with warning lights on the dash.

    So you like to sit in the car with the door open? Is your ignition key turned off and pulled out, at least halfway?

    The engine "breathes" through its intake air filter and on to its intake manifold. Removing the plastic should not be harmful, but it would not be helpful, either. By changing the intake air filter every 10,000 miles or so, your engine will breathe easily. And don't forget your cabin filter, also.

    They should have the same wheel bolt circle pattern, but the width and offset may not be the same. If you find some, perhaps ask the owner for the year and model of the vehicle they came from. Then you can plug in that information in Tirerack's website, which should reveal the information you will need to compare to the those for your vehicle.

    Usually, a wheel bearing noise is most evident when the vehicle is rounding a corner, not when the vehicle is traveling in a straight line.

    That looks like it tells you the percentage of torque being applied to the front and rear wheels. This could be determined based upon wheel/tire slip under varying conditions. See: On the All-Wheel Drive (AWD) models, how do I switch between AWD and Front-Wheel Drive (FWD)? (toyota.com)

    You should be able to order from crutchfield.com and either install it, yourself or have any auto receiver installer install it. See: GPS Navigation at Crutchfield

    Factory size is 215/55-17 You can look up this information, including wheel sizes that match the tires by going to www.tirerack.com. an 8-inch width (17-inch) wheel with +40 offset appears to be OEM sizes. You can also call the experts at Tirerack if you have any questions.

    We've had our RX400h for over 18 years, so I understand your being attached to it. The longest I've owned any vehicle was almost 22 years. I bought a used 1968 Corvette convertible when I was 21 and didn't sell it until I was 43.

    Did you ask them if they've seen this happen in other ES350s or models of the same year? If so, there may need to be a recall, just as there was for dash replacements in RX vehicles before 2016 when the vehicles were less than 10 years old. Those dashes were softening and cracking.
