Battery Replaced- lights work engine will not turn

We replaced the battery on a 2004 Lexus RX330 after I left the keys in the ignition in the neutral position. Anyway, after we replaced the battery the car will not turn. The lights are on so the battery appears to be making the proper connection. The car has been running great. Is there something that needs to be reset?

    Angelo, The car has been running great. We have had no problems with the vehicle. We knew the battery needed to be replaced. The new battery has been installed correctly. The lights and locks all work the car will not turn on and we cannot move it out of gear. It is an automatic.

SOURCE: 2004 Lexus RX330 Battery Replacement

You just had to disconnect the negative off the old battery first. Then you disconnect the positive and it happens to touch metal it won't short anything out. Make sure you can not wiggle the cables, that the connectors at the battery can't spin or move at all. Tighten them more if necessary, try to start it. Let me know if you still have problems.

SOURCE: How to replace Lexus RX330 headlights.

replacing the headlights is easy. There is no need to adjust the afs, is is automatically done within the vehicle. Changing the bulbs doesn't affect the afs system at all.

SOURCE: 2004 lexus rx330 what does vsc light indicate

VSC is Vehicle Stability Control. This is and electronic sensing which monitors and combines performance of braking, wheel slippage and handling, ect.
If this light comes on along with check engine light, it can be caused by a loose gas cap or faulty o2 sensor.

2007 pontiac g5 gt just had ignition replaced due to recall now 48 hours later it wont start. . battery fully charged

ignition replaced ???? Ignition switch , the electrical part or key lock cylinder and key ? left switch on 10 minutes ???? That won't work on your vehicle ! Light's lit on insturment cluster ? Car with padlock symbol ,check engine ,service engine soon etc.... The starting system on your vehicle is computer controlled as many fuctions are ! The ignition switch is a low voltage input to the BCM - body control module . Your best bet , take it back to the dealer .

After replacing a new battery on my 2004 RX330, car started good but the gas pedal does not work and engine and VSC light on. What do I have to do to solve this problem?

There must be a relearn after battery was replaced, usually there is a sequence you have to follow after you replace battery. check owners manual, or if you have a service manual it will be there for sure.

Had battery replaced. Now the passenger and left rear window will not work from the drivers seat? 2004 RX330

See page 64 of manual...open and close rear window using rear door's window switch. It will reset the driver's door master, which will work as it should.

2005 lexu 330, turn off maintenance light

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

My Lexus RX330 will not start the battery has been replace and the lights on the dash come on but the engine does nothing. I turn the key and nothing like it's completely dead.

Make sure the connections are good at the battery and starter. Make sure the new battery is fully charged. It should read at least 13-14 volts. Just because lights come on doesn't mean the connection is good enough to start the engine nor does it mean there is enough charge to start the engine. The only other thing it would likely be is the starter solenoid itself. Kind of doubt it on an '04 Lex though.

Need to turn off 2004 rx330 maintenance light; SUV has NAV too.

This is how you do it make sure the trip has the odometer showing, not the Trip A or B. 
Reset the system by the following procedure: 
1. Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position with the 
odometer reading shown. 
2. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position while holding down the “ODO/TRIP” button. Hold down the button for at least 5 seconds. The odometer indicates “000000” and the light goes off. If the system fails to reset, the light will continue flashing. 


I have used this in every RX330 i have ever done. will not work if trip a or b is showing though
