  1. Hey guys thanks again for the advice. I have some problems with the turn signal. I cannot find the flasher relay anywhere. I was looking in the engine bay where all the other relays were, and they all have like either 2 or 4, or 6 prong relays and I don't know without checking the thing the relay is for to know which relay does what. I pulled a few out and put back in, but it is confusing on how to find all the relays I went to autozone and pepboys and they both told me that the flasher relay was a 3 prong relay with two that are parallel to each other and one prong that it perpendicular. I was looking in the engine bay and I couldn't find the three prong relays anywhere I went back to pepboys and autozone and advance auto and they insist that it is a three prong relay. I can't find where it is located. I even looked at the fuse box. I think I accidently touched another fuse or relay because the brake indicater on the dash guages lights up and stays on even when the emergency brake is not put on. This lexus is giving me a headache and I have yet to actually drive it on public streets. PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE before I go crazy.
  2. Hey Guys well the problem was the battery clamp, i got it replaced and it starts up, the problem is that it just won't start up by itself. I have to jump the car everytime to get it to start. The battery was fully charged and the terminals are pretty tight. not sure what the problem is. I probably will eventually replace the battery since it is kind of old. It looks like the original battery that the car came with. Well as long as it starts, right? Anyways I have a problem with the turn signals turning on when they feel like it. The hazard lights don't turn on either, check out my post for that and please help.
  3. Hey guys thanks again for the assistance the car is running well now. But I have another problem, for some reason the turn signals do not turn on and the hazards do not work when you press the hazard button. It will work when it feels like it. I don't think it is the fuse because it turned on just once, so it's not the lights either because the dash doesn't indicate that the hazard or the turn signal is on because it doesn't show up on the dash either. So I don't know where to start looking, i think it might be a bad relay switch or the wires are bad but I'm not so sure. Can anyone help me with this. I am sure that it is an easy fix. thanks
  4. Hey I am a proud owner of a used 1992 Lexus LS 400 I don't know anything about Lexus's because this is the first lexus I have ever owned or had access to. I know that Lexus is always very specific in their repairs and whatnot (just like other luxury vehicles.) I wanted to know what was the direct size, name and number of the battery that the key takes. Also I have noticed that there is a weird key hole that is right underneath the steering wheel of this lexus. If anyone has a 1992 Lexus LS 400 they would understand what I am talking about The keyhole is right between the gas and the trunk release buttons. underneath the keyhole it has something like Push=lock/unlock. I want to know what that keyhole is there for is it to lock and unlock the trunk and fuel door? also if the plastic part of the key broken (the actual key came off) does that affect the performance of the car's engine or not? thanks
  5. Hey I just got a gift from my uncle, a "nice" 1992 Lexus LS 400 haha imagine the gas mileage on that :-P Well The problem with this fine thing, is that IT WON'T START. I charged the batter up at autozone, and I brought it back and put in inside and tried to start it. It turns on and everything else works when I get to the ACC: position on the ignition. When I try to start, everything shuts off and then turns back on but the car doesn't start. I hear the clicking sound of it trying to start, I have checked the fluid levels of the car and everything is up to date. I thought the battery was bad, but it isn't. I called my uncle and asked him what's going on since he use to drive the lexus and he likes working on cars as well. He told me that the car should start up fine because he was driving it just a week ago. I was thinking it may be the battery terminals on the battery cables of the lexus that might be bad because on the positive side part of the terminal clamp broke off towards the edge of it. I am thinking it might be that since part of the positive side terminal broke off, the starter might not be getting as much amps it needs to start the massive engine. So I am thinking about buying a new terminal for it, but I want to hear other's opinions before i go out and end up wasting money. But I am not sure if that is what the problem is. Could anyone help me or can relate to this problem. All help is accepted thanks.
