It could be a few things. The most likely would be weak struts and/or springs. It could also be worn bushings in the control arms or sway bar. It could be a loose body panel ( bumper, etc). There's no easy way to pick out which specific one it is. Hope this helps.

No. All you need to do is gently lift the switch by the corner and lift.The wires will then be exposed for removal.Installation is the reverse with a gentle tap on top of the switch to secure it in place.JDL

Normally, if you get a oil warning light signal (flashing) could be a few things related to it. Number one, you are low on oil. Check your oil level and make sure it is at full level. Number two, is possibly oil filter is dirty, ( time for service,oil change) or problem with oil pump or oil pump pressure. BUT I would first start with checking oil level and then maybe a oil change.

This is a transmission problem. Both your Traction Control and Engine light are on because of an issue with your transmission.

I would take it to an authorized transmission repair shop immediately. Avoid driving it there. I suggest a tow.

Sorry to hear about your issue and I hope everything gets resolved quickly.

If you mean the 3rd as in lite on the rear dash , the cover pops off from inside the car.You must flex it it slightly from the sides or gently try to pop it with something wide , but flat like a putty knife. the bulb should be a common one

not really nessesary.

TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT TIME 60000 MILES INTERVALS.

My car is a 2001 Lexus ES300 and has 106K miles. I brought it to my mechanic to replace Thermostat, Thermostat Gasket, Timing Belt, Water Pump, Camseals Kit, Crankseal, Air Filter, Fuel Filter, Timing Component and Spark Plugs for a total of $981.24 ($510 of it is labor). He charges at least 1/2 of a dealer so expect to pay more elsewhere. The care drives like a brand new car and I will keep driving it for another 10 years!!!
