Do you go long periods of time without cranking or driving your car. If you go a week or more without running the car it can run a battery down, maybe two weeks for some cars. My daughter 08 impala will run down after 7 or 8 days so I pull the negative cable off the battery. Some cars will have radio problems if battery is disconnected that may be why they want it on a charger. The fact you drove to dealership before it died would seem to me to be a alternator problem. Did the dealership actually test for voltage at battery and alternator voltage to battery. Most cars I have had the battery will run about 12.7 or above voltage when off. While running it usually runs over 14 to 15.5 at battery, depending on vehicle if the alternator is charging.

either you have a problem with the cable that connects the gear lever to the ignition or the steering lock has broke inside.But i seem to think that its more likely to be the cable

does it not unlock any of the doors? if it doesnt unlock any doors run down to the dealer and give them your vin number they will be able to cut you a key based on that. make sure you take your registration to prove you own the car. fortunately your car is the first gen ls400 because if it was much newer it would have had to had a key programmed to start it. keys at the dealer shouldnt be too much but if they are too expensive, just snag a blank off ebay they are only about 10 bucks. good luck!

I always call my local parts store (on a weekday trust me on that part) and say I have a .... I need oil and filter or transmission fluid and filter how many quarts and type (weight if not written on Fill cap) do I need? They look it up and tell you it's in there computer for shops like mine I just tell them what year I have and send me the fluid and filters (unless I did a custom job then see approximately how much came out and buy 2 more quarts than what you believe you pulled out and add the amount -the 2 extra start it for a few seconds and check level when engine off(for oil) running for transmission

Incorrect pressure caused by incorrect grade of fluid comes straight to my mind.

Yes, this says it is behind the glove box.

I do not understand what you are asking. what are you saying it will turn over but won't crank? Are you sure the battery is OK, The alternator charges the battery and powers the electrical system but is out of the system when trying to start it.

It is supplied as a kit from Lexus (Toyota).

if tested faulty and new one not working check new one -new doesnt mean free from defect --check wiring- battery has full charge -harness connections --rescan for any codes

have an alignment done if their is damage the alignment shop will point it out if its just an adjustment that will correct your problem

Does it work pressing the button on the driver's door armrest? Check the fuse for that window. Also check continuity of the wires or the wires that go from the door to the door frame? Constant open and closing can break wires. I have a 2005 ES330. Pressing and holding the button also opens my sunroof. It is very useful in the heat of the summer.

Hello. The rear fascia might have to come off to replace that lamp assembly. The wheel on whatever side that lamp assembly is broken and the inner splash shield has to be removed to remove and replace that assembly. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

P0715 is a generic code for the input turbine speed sensor A. P0715 is detected when TCM or ECM does not receive the proper signal from the sensor. Take a look at any damage to the loom wiring, including connectors before replacing the sensor.

I love how there are no answers on here I was trying to find out why my key won't open the trunk in general and I'm not sure but I believe the other key may actually open the trunk but it's my girlfriend's car and I don't ever think about using her key to check but I'm going to now as there are no answers here hope you figured it out 4 years ago now LOL

2010 Lexus ES350: Normal cold air from passenger vents but 18 degrees warmer on drivers side. No DTCs and visually verified air mixer servo working normally. Originally when I checked gauge pressures, it was 210 on the high side and about 25 on the low side at idle. So I dismissed the issue being low refrigerant. I checked the system out with my scan tool and couldn't find the issue. I thought the heater core with hot water running through it could be the cause but after blocking one of the heater hoses, I still had the issue. Finally, I rechecked the pressures and the low side was at 20. I added almost 10 oz of refrigerant and at 102 degrees ambient temperature, the pressures are at 240 high and 23 low. Got inside the car and both drivers and passenger vents have 55 degree temps coming out.

Check the valet trunk button in the glovebox. if thats not selected then its most likely the switch. however its unlikely, ive never seen one go bad before.
