Key won't open locked doors. Can't get into car.
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!
Gluster gauge won't illuminate
Hello hayeizmyhome...Very low mileage for a 1990 model. However... this is usually around the mileage interval the dreaded instrument cluster, panel and dash light failures start...lights will flicker, then go out, gauges will start going up and down, lcd's will become hazey and hard to read....etc.
The instruments are illuminated both day and night while the ignition is on.
When the ignition is off, the panel goes dark and you can’t see the gauges at all.
The lexus has an electronic circuit board behind the inst. cluster that has been the problem. Very expensive repair if done by dealer.
*TIP* This circuit board can be repaired if you know a good electrical technician much cheaper.
The recommended timing belt replacement interval on the LS is 120k...water pump should be replaced also, the timing belt runs the water pump. The LS has a non-interference engine, meaning if the belt breaks, no damage will be done to the engine...
Hope this answers your questions..and your lexus runs for many more miles...with proper care and maintainnace, it will.
1990 Lexus LS 400 Right Front Suspention Thud Noise
most probably a torn lower suspension arm rubber bush that would not show up if the car was on a 4 post hoist
there is a problem there as the noise would not be evident if there was nothing wrong
different tire pressures will give different noise when hit with a tire lever ( a trick used by truck drivers to check for flat/ under inflated tires
good tire solid sound
low pressure tire a dull sound
Que puedo hacer con mi lexus ls 400 de 1990 el velocimetro no indica la velocidad en que corre mi carro
Hi Jorge. Por ahora, s?lo conduce a la misma velocidad que todos los otros conductores. En ese a?o, un problema com?n estaba poniendo demasiado lubricante en el cable del veloc?metro, causando que se pegue. Golpe? el tablero de la rociada unas cuantas veces y ver si eso lo har? correr. Quiz? deba reemplazar el racimo del instrumento. A veces se encuentran disponibles en los patios de demolici?n del autom?vil.
