  1. Hello: I have a 2000 RX300. A few months back I had trouble starting the car (after a month of so of not having driven the car). The engine service light had been on for a few weeks before that but no noticeable problems. Decided to put in a new battery since the battery was due for replacement. Car started fine and drove OK a couple of times. Did not drive the car again for a few weeks. Tried to start the car after that but it did not start. Jump started the car and it did jump start but the headlights (and dashlights) kept flickering. Kept engine on for over 1/2 hour to make sure battery was fully charged. Took off the charger and tried to restart the car with no luck. Based on advice from people, decided that the alternator/regulator was the problem so replaced the alternator with a new one. Engine service light is now off. The car works fine now (starts with no problem) and does not discharge but the headlight still flicker (even after driving regularly for a few weeks). Is there a short somewhere in the electrical system that is causing this? Any help/advice will be much appreciated. Rmittal1
  2. Hello: I am facing exactly the same problem. I have taken out all the three bolts of the alternator. The alternator now swings about the pivot point but the darn thing will NOT COME OUT!. What did you finally do to get it loose? Thanks much rmittal
