The seat and position selection buttons ( 1 & 2 ) have decided to stop working. I'm assuming a fuse or circuit breaker has popped but I have no idea which one. Fuses look ok. Anybody know if this is a common problem? License plate light bulbs are both out. I removed the 2 screws for each little plastic plate only to find that the screws apparently do nothing. I asked about this once before and was advised to pry gently on little detents on the edges of the plastic lenses...I have none of those. Is there a secret to this?

Hello from Calgary. The license plate lights seem so simple...however...after removing the 4 Phillips screws the 2 little plastic covers over the bulbs refuse to come off. This is a '93 LS400 with 258,000 kms on it. I'm afraid to force the little "windows" as they'll probably break easily. I will try spraying with WD-40 in case that loosens them and allows the windows to fall out. Anyone have a better suggestion? 2. Pull out the 194... Unless something has been drastically changed on the 98-00 It's as simple as 1, 2, done. You should get LED replacements B) www.superbrightleds.com yea thats what i'm thinking. i want to get white ones like they have in the new Lexus models.

I looked through the forum before joining, and I joined because you're right....there's a lot of experience here. I've done most of my/our own car maintenance (and a vintage motorcycle too) so I know what a wrench is...but there are many many more goodies on this LS400 than on any other vehicle we've had. I expect I'll need the help at some point. Are most of you running regular gas? Laurie.

Yup, that's what we keep getting told. I put gas in a family car yesterday at $1.22.9 CDN a litre. I can't believe that's $5.58 @ Imp. gallon but that's what my calculator tells me. I'm told an LS400 is not particularly fuel efficient so this experience will be interesting!! So far we've driven the car for only a half hour test drive, but it has lived next door to us for just over 7 years so it's no stranger. The previous owner has almost washed the dark blue paint off. Even if not driven, it was washed.

Hi from Calgary, Alberta. I've just joined the group as I think the questions and answers I've seen will be a great help in avoiding bankruptcy when something goes wrong with the car. It's a '93 LS400 with 256,600 kms on it but in great shape. The digital space ship dash display has been repaired by the previous owner at a cost just under $1,000 CDN. The temp display on the HVAC is black, like so many are but I'll leave it alone until I know the car better. We haven't even driven it much yet as we want to sell the car my wife has had since '94 before putting this one on the road. cheers for now.
