Check your brake wires connections because it seems that some wires are inccorectly installed and need to to inspected and refixed

SOURCE: all dash warning lights came

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.

SOURCE: 92 lexus ls 400 check engine and traction control light came on at the same time, 92 lexus ls 400.

the track off light will come everytime yhe check engine light comes on. this is normal. you need to have the check engine light checked first.you can go to your local parts house they will scan it for so you at least see what area you problem is in and then you can start from there. let me know lf you find out youe engine codes.

I would inspect your wires at the starter. If you live up north then corrosion is bad, clean all wires going to starter. then clean wires to back of alternator. I seriously doubt that alternator is the problem, but if you remove it you can have it tested for free at most parts stores.

Testimonial: "Thank you! You was right, it was not the alternator, it was a 125 AMP that was blown."

Reverse light on when brake is applied

Manny, I am confused too. When you apply brake, brake light should light up. There is no connection with reverse lights which have no color. Have you checked the manual? If you can't find solution, you may have to show it to a good mechanic because operating a vehicle this way could give wrong signals to traffic behind.

I have a 1990 Lexus LS 400 and the middle rear tail lights are not working but they do work when I press on the brakes. I checked the fuse box by the driver seat and all fuses looked good. What do you guys...

the bulb for the back light and brake is in a single bulb so if one is bad the other will keep working take out the bulb and see it in day light you will see one of the springs in the bulb is broken replace this bulb

do the brake lights work? if not, suspect brake switch or the fuse as this switch also controls a solenoid that releases when foot brake applied.
