Whats wrong with my car?

After leaving the light switch on overnight, the car would not start. I had to jump start it and noticed the dash lights, head lights, or windows work and I can't put it in gear.

hello freddy - the good news is that your lexus has a self diagnosis system built into it. this is what you need to do.

drive to an auto zone or similar autoparts store and have them put your lexus on their computer to scan for trouble codes. they offer this as a free service. with a little luck this scan will isolate the problem and the fix will be quick and easy.

if this doesnt fix it for you get back and let me know what codes popped up.

here is a link to the lexus trouble codes so you will have added insight. good luck.

Hi, the starter solenoid has packed up and you need to replace it. To find out where it is located, get someone to turn the key as if to start and you have the bonnet or hood lifted and you will hear the click coming from the solenoid.

The solenoid is essentially a switch that turns the starter on and off. When your car is just sitting off in the driveway, the solenoid is receiving a current from the battery, but it does not pass it on to the starter. When you flip the ignition, a small current signals the solenoid to let the current through to the starter. The starter then turns over. When you have a solenoid that is going bad, the switch can get tweaked and not let the current through correctly. Since the electrical current isn't enough to fire up the starter, the engine doesn't fire. In some cars, it just makes a clicking noise.

SOURCE: 2003 lexus es300 won't start... radio lights and windows work. Tried a jump start, still doesnt work...

Are you saying the engine cranks but won't start, or the engine won't crank ?
If the engine does not crank, you would check for voltage at the starter, the neutral safety switch, and the key switch as well as the ground connections.

Speedometer dash lights not working

Ouch, must be it doesn't like to get jumped. Wild guess, a "marginal" fuse couldn't take the jump. Check your fuse box for dash lighting. Other Dash lights ok? Any error codes? Possible the ECU (brain) didn't like the jump and now needs to be reset. Sometimes that can be done by disconnecting the battery overnight. Why did the car need a jump? I'd guess you have a "marginal" battery. Some Auto parts stores can help check your battery. And if bad replace.

Something is draining my battery. I bought my battery about 17 months ago. I replaced my altenator about a year ago. Recently I noticed the radio light flixering and now overnight I of sitting I have to...

There are 1000 things that can cause this to happen. Isolation is your friend. Shut everything off. Make sure all the lights are off. Glove box, vanity, under hood...etc. Have a qualified person read the current draw with everything off. Start removing fuses and find out which is drawing the current, with an ammeter. But before you do all this, make sure it isn't a bad battery, (cant hold a charge) or that somebody didn't leave something on in the car.

2002 vue v6...starts and runs well however when I stop , shut off the engine, then try to start after half hour , it wont start

Lookfor a light on the dash that says SECURITY or ANTITHEFT. If you see this light, that is a sign of a failed or failing antitheft system, which will disable your vehicle. This link explains

your alarm system has been tripped when the battery went dead, to get the information on how to reset the alarm is to call the car manufacture to get the procedure, and should not cost you anything.

1987 Saab, battery problems or my own error?

If some internal light "went out" but the switch is still "on", that might do it.
Something could be shorted. Check power seats' wiring. Radio.
