under the controls for the side view mirrors, behind the coin holder cup. open the coin cup & pull up on the cup until it pops out of place. on the back of the coin cup is the fuse diagram. its the "cig" on the 3rd column, top row, "15a". there are some spare fuses under the hood. open the hood & its on the right of the engine in the black box that's about 10in by 4in big. open the cover & look at the fuse diagram & look for the spares on the top right.

this vehicle may be due for a service.slow starting in colder weather can be due to many issues. such as dirty or wet ignition sytem or low battery charge. if you live in colder climate you may need to change your oil to a thinner one for cold tempretures.also check that exaust pipe is not blocked, air filter is clean and fuel filter is not blocked.I hope this was useful.

Hi, it could be a wheel bearing, a bad motor mount, if it's front wheel drive it could even be an axle rubbing on the frame (hince a bad motor mount), etc but it's hard to say without hearing it myself. But should have a good idea of where the problem is now and fix it.

Check the level on the Dip Stick. If it is over the full mark you need to drain oil from the vehicle. It is never a good idea to run the motor with too much oil in the engine. The easiest method to remove about .25 quart of oil would most likely be removing and draining the oil filter then replacing it.

1. With your car OFF, place your key in the ignition and turn to "On". Do not start the car.
2. Find the odometer button and press until it reads the total odometer setting, (not the Trip A or Trip B setting).
3. Turn the key to OFF.
4. Place your finger back on the odometer button, press and hold. At the same time, turn the key back to "On".
5. Hold the odometer button in until the MAINT REQD light goes out...should take about 8-10 seconds.

page 77 of the 2004 Lexus rx330 handbook...
(you will find the answer you are looking for in resetting your maintenance light.)
with the odometer reading visible, (not trip A or trip B..) turn off engine.

While keeping Odo/trip button depressed, turn ignition back on (not starting the engine) You will see dashes (instead of numbers) on your odometer disappearing one at a time. it will be replaced by 0's (zeros).. Release the Odo/trip button and your original mileage will come up....
And your done..... until the next oil change.

Thank you for using fixya and good luck

Stop by a local Advance, Autozone, etc .. parts store and have them do a free charging system test. Sounds like alternator is getting tired/worn. Have them test your battery also - they'll do both for FREE

Turn your steering wheel left or right side. If it moves, then good for you. But if doesn't, it probably means that locking system in the steering wheel is damaged. For this, you can just turn the steering wheel opposite to the direction of the car wheels. Most of the time, cars are turned off with the wheels turned on the opposite directions, which makes the key get stuck in the ignition due to pressure in the steering wheel. When the pressure is released from the steering column, a click can be heard and key is released.

If no luck, there might be a problem with shifter mechanism, which means that you have a trip to the repair shop in store for you. Get this problem addressed immediately, as it could mean that your shift interlock is out of order, which can increase the chances of deploying the air bag up in your face, causing a serious injury.
