Thanks for the info on the Main/2nd button underneather the passenger side, just below the glovebox on my 09 RX 350. This was accidentally depressed and caused the Low Tire Pressure warning light to illuminate as flashing for 10 or so blinks and then turning to a constant on condition. As soon as I switched the button back out to "Main" the TPMS light went out!!

Thank you

We have a 2006 RX330. On a few occasions the talgate has attempted to open after pressing the key fob button (and having all doors unlocked), and it will only open about 1.5" or so and then close again. I took it to the dealer and since they could not get it to do this, they said they couldn't do anything. Any ideas? BTW outside temp was around 80 degrees every occurance.

Thanks.

FZ6 Dude, I recently had a very similar issue with the rear hatch on my RX 330...when I would press the button on the key fob it would begin to open, maybe a 1/2 inch and then it would just latch back closed. Took it to the dealer and they said it was the electronic control unit that controls the operation of the rear hatch. Dealer replaced the ECU (PN: 89222-0E020 - computer, $486 plus $140 for labor) under warranty :D and all is well...works like new again.

Hope that helps.

I have 129,000 on my 99 RX 300 FWD. I have changed the engine oil every 3,000 and the ATF Fluid every 30,000 and have had very few problems with my RX. At about 100,000 I had the rear main seal replaced as it had developed a small oil leak, I think that was about $700 at my local Lexus dealer to fix. Currently I have the burned out "D" light in the instrument cluster that just recently happened and I have noticed the air flow/temp servos beginning to make some some noise in the AC system. Otherwise just routine maintenance items like belts, brakes, tires, coolant, spark plugs, battery etc. If I keep it much longer I plan on replacing the struts as the ride is beginning to get a little rough, especially when compared to my newer RX 330. Overall I have NO complaints with my 99 RX 300, it has been a GREAT vehicle. :D

What is the best way to replace the leather on both of the front seat arm rest on RX 300 1999...tan?

I would like to know what options are out there as well. Thanks in advance for the help.

Recently, my 2001 RX300's clock has been resetting itself as if its power has been removed. No other stored items are affected (radio button settings, etc), just the clock. Any ideas??

A couple of years ago my RX300 clock would reset itself each night for about a week just before the car battery failed and needed to be replaced. I would guess that the voltage was dropping below some set threshold during the night and the clock was reset. New battery and all was fine with the clock. Hope this helps.

I have had the exact same window sticking issue with my 04 RX330. I live in a hot/humid South Texas climate. My Lexus service advisor told me over the phone that I should clean the window and the rubber gaskets/seal surface with "denatured alcohol" and then apply Toyota silicone lubricant to the gasket surfaces. He suggested that it was a combination of wax/soap residue that just needed to be removed.

I cleaned the gaskets and applied silicone lubricant this past week and it has helped. There is no longer a line of material on the glass when I open the windows after a few hot afternoons. I would say that it is about 90% solved. The 2 back windows don't stick at all now. I am going to clean the gasket/seal surfaces one more time with alcohol and reapply the silicone lubricant. If this continues I plan on having the service department address it on my next scheduled maintenance. I will post back if the problem is completly gone after the next cleaning.

2005 RX330 in New England.

When the car has been sitting outside when the air temperature

is hot the windows stick when you try to open them. There's

a line on the window where the window meets the seal.

The dealer claims the window isn't clean and it is build-up

of "interior compartment pollution".

I recently cleaned the windows, inside and out, and scraped

clean the line on the window. I parked at work the

next day, it was hot, and at the end of the day the

windows stuck and the line on the window returned.

My theory is the window seal is "melting" on the window.

Anyone experience this, and if so, any ideas on how

to fix this?

Thx,

Jeff

I tried the Soft Scrub on my 99 RX300 headlamp lenses and it worked really well. My lens covers look almost like new again. I followed up with a couple of coats of wax. I'll report back in a month or so as to how it holds up. Thanks for the tip.
