    Unfortunately, Borla does not make a custom fit for the ES. steviej

    that'll do it. The system was telling the caliper to constantly close. replace the sensor. steviej

    Bill, All hope is not lost. Check out this company as I have heard good things about them from several members. They can incorporate wood into your current wheel. American-Stitches steviej

    Are they chrome, alloy or painted rims. If metal is missing, then a complete repair is probably out of the question. However, I have had to do the following to one of my chrome rims and one of my alloys: The rough edges can be lightly sanded and hopefully made to blend in a little, then a layer of clear coat can be put on to prevent further rusting or discoloration. steviej

    steering wheel swaps are usually avoided as well as the air bags are not interchangable. I did read of one thread where they did swap wheels but opted to deactivate/omit the airbag. (poor decision in my opinion). steviej

    Check with the dealer or 1-800-25-LEXUS since your car is still under original warranty they may cover it under warranty or at least meet you half way. steviej

    I was going to say that it should be covered under warranty if the car is in fact a 2006. However, there was no ES300 in 2006 and 41k is alot of miles for a car less than a year old. what year is it really? new shells can be had on ebay and they come in many colors. other than that SW covered your options. steviej

    Eric Cheung and chadmg7: do you go through automated car washes and have clear coat protectant or the like applied? steviej

    "the front bank" meaning the bank of cylinders by the radiator, if so then that is bank 2. you had your mechanic replace the wrong sensor. steviej

    he needs to get the ABS codes read to find out where in the system the trouble code originating and then start with that. steviej

    which O2 sensor did he replace? maybe he mixed up his banks. melhadri, you posted your O2 sensor was Bank 1 Sensor 1. That is the one between the engine and firewall before the cat. Milehigh's post was for Bank 2 sensor 1, same position but opposite bank or cylinders. steviej

    I was always told that the fuel in the tank acts as a cooling mechanism for the fuel pump, too. Therefore it is best if the fuel pump is always immersed, hence, not letting the tank go below a quarter. steviej

    you got me on this one, Jim. I just went through the shop manual for the 02 and there are plenty of pages of diagnostic flowcharts, but not one mentions blinking lights. Check the fuses and the wiring harness to that door. Try moving the window or applying pressure to the window while you hit the switch. It may be a Lexus diagnostic thing as an OBDII scan tool may have to be hooked to that door's ECU as well as the body ECU. steviej

    It makes the car go. So when I want to come to a stop at a traffic light, I should take the key out of the ignition? :P You only take your key out of the ignition when you go for your daily dose of Latte at Starbucks. Alan, Lexucan is in Canada so it will have to be Tim Hortons instead. :P

    Are the indicator lights on each switch on or off? Make sure the square button (window lock switch) on the driver's door panel is in the up position. If this button accidentally got pushed and is in the down position, only the driver's window works. The click sound is internal to each switch so it may be misleading. Check your fuses, too. steviej

    unless Lexus comes out with an AWD ES400h. steviej

    go to Autozone. They will load test your battery and check out your charging system for free. steviej

    they also come on automatically when you go in a tunnel, parking garage or down a very shady street (I don't mean like in the "wrong element" :whistles: ) which can be annoying at times. between my lights being in AUTO and my wipers being on rain delay; I don't have to remember to do or not do anything. steviej
