The car starts, has headlights, but no tail lights, blinkers or brake lights. Will also not shift into drive or reverse. The battery was just replaced but there is an extra wire from the battery terminal that is not connected. Could it be related? Is there another fuse box somewhere- under dash? Also, my son origiinally put the battery in backwards- PLEASE HELP!!!!
Putting the battery in backwards can cause all kinds of electrical problems. There is a fuse block under the hood and you should check those fuses. Also there are fused links (wires) that are designed to fail and they are hard to detect. This could be a very expensive repair.

Hatterasnc,
You're alternator has gone bad and the vehicle was running on battery power. The "clicking" sound is your now dead battery that does not have enough power to turn over the starter. You might also want to check your power steering pump for leak. This is a know problem with early LS400s and will most likey be the cause of the alternator failure. I just dropped $1050.00 to fix the very same promblems you have.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,
Initially, try to remove the 3 wire alternator connector. Replace the 30 amps AM2, start the car. If it runs without blowing the 30 amps fuse, have your alternator checked/bench tested.
Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

check all the fuses inside and outside of car.when you hook up battery backwards it will blow more then one fuse.
