  1. Check the alternator?????

    I did the old fashion way by removing the positive wire from battery and seeing if car would turn off it didn't.. i thought that the alternator would just go bad all together not give you warnings as such....

    I'm go to Ammco today to get a full diagnostics done ... i think they do it for free..

  2. There is a small grouping of wires covered under a piece of plastic, in the left hinge of the trunk lid.

    If you look at it and wires are exposed, this can cause quite the medley of phantom problems including strange lighting problems and other things. Fixing it is as simple as soldering everything back into place, and letting them hang freely.

    OK So umm me and a friend went and popped the trunk and went thru all the wires.. everything was Good... so went to sleep woke up the next day driving into work.. i get this.. (while driving (See attached Pix)) the first post-80436-1222965183_thumb.jpgone came on for about a minute and then the secondpost-80436-1222965196_thumb.jpg came on for about 2 minutes while revving the car in neutral @ a stop light.. whenever they come on.. the lightning goes dim and you can feel a lil decrease in power of the car... I moved the car maybe 2 or 3 time in my parking garage but it only comes on after some distance of driving....

    WHAT the Heck is it?? Someone help!!

    OK So the battery was toasted so i replaced with a new one.. but the dash lighting problem still exists... Guess it's time to go pop the trunk... Will keep ya'll posted..

  4. Thanks guys,

    Threw it in and all the lights went out. Everything seems good. Still cranking a bit inconsistently but I'm gonna wait on the starter, I have a good feeling.

    What a pain pushing the new one up into place! My arms were pooped! Oh well.

    Thanks again, Pete

    Ummm wow.. ok i think i'm in the same boat except my 90 LS400 is still cranking up.. I'm pricing an alternator now. the battery is semi old , going to autozone to do test.. ..

    but this damn trunk wiring harness has me stumped.. wth?

    and when i look @ the lexls.com i didnt see a tutorial for the alternator.. any suggestions??

  5. So my 90 LS400 is having this off and on engine code #25 (Air fuel lean malfunction). It's sometimey though.. <_< .. sometime it comes on and then goes off..i drive 40 miles and it off.. then drive back and it come on like the last 10 miles then get home and go somewhere in the am it goes away after the warm up..

    Anyone have any suggestion on how to do away with this.... i'm leaning towards a new fuel filter first.. but any suggest is most welcomed!!

    UPdate* OK So the Check Engine Code hasnt rear'd it ugly head... But a new Development... Just got home.. and the damn car damn near give me a heart attack/.... all the dash light came on except "the check Engine" and it came on for like 5 sec and then go away did it twice....

    Someone lend me a hand here...
