  1. Hey guys, so here's the thing, my climate control is completely blacked out. you can replace it the lcd screen. here's the link to the tutorial: http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/lighting/cl...eLCDscreen.html Where do i buy the LCD screen at? I've checked junk yards all over and they are all blacked out. Any ideas?
  2. I've attached the posting from this site on replacing the capacitors. reread it twice. it actually says that replacing the capacitors will fix the back light and the fuel gauge problems only. Lexus_Circuit_Board_Repair.pdf
  3. I'll check the tire size again. In regards to the rims, I do know they are considered wide-sport rims. I'll also look into the pistons and the brake pads.
  4. I stand corrected on this. Used my car 4 times today. On the last time, the speedometer wasn't working at all. So apparently, the only things replacing the capacitors fixed were the back lighting and the fuel gauge.
  5. All three of my gauges weren't working properly Tachometer - Nothing at all (it didn't matter hot or cold. the only time I saw it working was once when I revved it in neutral, that's it) Speedometer - Sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't Fuel Gauge - Always on E There was a forum I saved posted by cole that suggested replacing 3 capacitors. After replacing them, everything works except for the tachometer. I'll try to check out on that lube job. Hopefully it fixes the problem. I don't think it will because prior to me soldering the capacitors, tapping on my dash did absolutely nothing for it.
  6. Hey guys. So I pulled off this instructional information on repairing the instrument cluster's frequent problems (lighting and gauges not working). It turns out there are 3 capacitors that commonly go out. I replaced the three capacitors and checked it out. The lights come on great (success), my fuel gauge works (finally), but my tachometer doesn't work at all (still). Does anyone know which capacitor controls the tachometer? I thought it would be the same as the speedometer.
  7. I work at an all purpose battery shop and we have the proper battery for it. My question is this, even with the battery replaced, the buttons on my 93 ls400 still doesn't work. Any ideas?
  8. When I bought the car, they told me it wasn't the stock tire size. I don't know what size it is. When I bought new tires, they did tell me that the tires were too big for the normal size (16?) and apparently I had wide tires. I didn't have any options other then some expensive tires. I thought they were just trying to get a lot of money. It's the outside edges that touch. What I'm thinking is that I might have to get new rims that fit the original size of 16". The car doesn't bounce any bit more than normal it just scratches over bumps and curves. Also, when I brake hard, my car pulls to the right. You've helped me with this issue with the calipers so I'm going to change them out. But to answer your question, no, the car is not lowered.

  11. Yes. Use tires of an appropriate size. Your car came from the factory with 225/60-16 tires. The car is not lowered. I'll recheck the tires. That would take care of the scratching of the tires. Any ideas on the car jerking to the right when I brake hard?
  12. I have an LS400 (1993) and thought my tires were too big in the back. It turns out, that the front and back are the same. My problem is that any type of a bump, small or big, my back tires scrape against the frame. I replaced the tires about 8 months ago and have new tires not used. The 2 back tires are again all shredded where they scrape. If I go around a curve at a decent speed, I get a long scrape until I even out. Also, if I brake hard, my car will swerve. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
