RX400h

You're welcome, Art. The video includes mention of separate controls for the headsup display position. I had something similar in my 2001 Corvette. It was a separate buttom/switch. Do you not have something like this on the left side of your steering column?

For a 2002 vehicle?

I think that alignment shop should be avoided. It looks like you have excessive negative camber. I suggest you take your car to a well-regarded alignment shop, quickly.

Hopefully, it's in here:

Although Lexus ES models have been extremely reliable, you should always request maintenance records from the owner. If there are big mileage gaps between oil/filter changes, you should steer clear. See if you can find on online maintenance schedule for the year car you are interested in, before you call the owner or look at the car.

I've never seen mention of something like that happening with just the factory setup, which makes me think it DOES have something to do with the alarm. If you can, check any wire connections to the alarm module to see if one is loose. Wiggle each to see if the locks act up.

I think those codes are pre-OBD 2. See: Lexus OBD/OBD2 Codes – TroubleCodes.net

That plastic section of two halves should be able to be pulled apart after the screw is removed. I would NOT use a hammer.

Do you know if they are HID bulbs? Whenever you change these bulbs, you should wear thin Nitrile gloves to prevent skin oil from rubbing onto the glass bulb. Did you take this precaution?

I think a big part of this is the EV mandate that is forcing manufacturers to invest heavily in vehicles that require far more electronics than ever before. This is putting a huge strain on auto manufacturers, as chip manufacturers cannot keep up. It's not just Lexus. Other manufacturers are leaving off options until the assemblies are available.

Update: I bought a Lexus "shell", about a year or two ago and it works perfectly. I may have bought it on Amazon. The original shell was cracked beyond repair.

A quick look at Crutchfield reveals that there are quite a few stereo/navigation options for our 2006 RX400h. I'm not sure why they have nothing for your (same age) LX470. Perhaps not as many were sold.

They appear to be available but at a steep cost. Based upon a quick search, the part numbers are: 811503A472 ($1270.68) driver's side 811103A152 (1154.74) passenger side 81150-3A472 Genuine Lexus Headlamp Assembly, Left (lexuspartsnow.com)

Hello, James. those should be things that a respected independent auto repair shop or a Toyota dealership can do for less. Do you know what the codes are? Are there any drivability issues?

Yes, I believe they do use salt. Perhaps my memory has faded, as I try not to visit relatives during Winter months. My guess is that it is highly unlikely that there would be an option like that with a vehicle that is 14 years old. How often do you have the need to use the squirter?

Hi, Isabella. It may be difficult to sell a vehicle within California if the vehicle cannot pass a smog test. This is because the seller is responsible for making sure the vehicle passes the test before making a sale. You may want to contact the Bureau of Automotive Repair to discuss your options. Did your mechanic tell you why the car did not pass?

Well, I did live in New England for 27 years.....😏

Often, any smears are a sign that your wipers are getting worn and need to be replaced.

Are you certain that BOTH fans are working? See:

Did you wipe it off and then reinstall the stick? Sometimes, the first time you pull the stick, it shows higher than appropriate levels. Also, wait 5 minutes or more after you shut off the engine. If it still reads high, then yes, you or they should drain the extra amount.

Is there no way to manually upon it? If you can get to the motor, you should be able to check that wires are supplying voltage to it when either activation method is used.

This may be because of the state you are in. Many people think that all hybrids need to be plugged in. Consumer Reports magazine recommends hybrids as the best choice for consumers who want great fuel mileage and far better range than most EVs, without the range anxiety during cold weather or when towing. The new RX350h AWD gets 37 MPG City, 34 Highway, and 36 combined. (Average range = 619 miles) The RX350 gets 21 MPG City, 28 Highway, and 24 combined. (Average range = 427 miles) So the hybrid RX gets 50% better average fuel economy, That's significant. Our RX Hybrid is almost 18 years old and it has never given us any problems. Newer RX hybrids have excellent reliability ratings, also.

Hello, Crystal. Did your friend take a look underneath your car? Did he drive your car to the store or did the water appear after he installed the knock sensor and then took the car for a test-ride? If that friend is not available, you may need to have the car towed to a repair shop.

The oil has to meet the ILSAC GF-5 Motor Oil Standard. ILSAC GF-5 Motor Oil Standard - A Smarter Motor Oil (motortrend.com) I'd take a look at some of the 0W-20 oils at Walmart to see which ones meet or exceed (GF-6) this standard. I'm fairly certain that most of them meet GF-6.

There are a few on Ebay but the question is: How can you tell if any are fully functional?
