The battery checked out ok, but needed to charge. I got it charged, and the car started. While running I pulled the negative battery terminal. Car died. It's going in tomorrow for probably a new alternator. Thanks everyone for the help! It usually is really back to the basics...

Thanks, I will try to jump it, which will help narrow things down. I don't have any way to read codes or do much testing unfortunately.

My wife started her LC this morning to warm it up before leaving for work. She said she came out after it was running for a few minutes and said it was idling really low, then revved up quite a bit. She shut the car off and now it won't start. I tired to start it. After pressing the start...

That is good to know that I might have a voltage problem. I'll keep that in mind if bulbs keep blowing.

OK, here's my big shameful public apology post to my own thread... I did a better job at checking the bulbs and indeed three of them were burnt out. I hade to take them out of the car and bring them inside for much closer inspection and a friend did a continuity test for good measure. Yeah...

Shoot, I edited my post above to clarify that when I pull the sick back, the fog lights turn off, but the brights don't turn on. And I'll double check this when I am near the car but I believe I get the blue dash bights indicator when I push the stick forward.

To answer user Bloc's question: I don't have a multimeter and that sounds a bit above my level of troubleshooting but may see if I can find someone who can help with that. So here is some additional info... The daytime running light don't work. In the evening then the auto lights turn on, I...

I did check the bulbs and they all look fine.

Thanks all for jumping in to help. It actually appears that the DRLs are NOT working.

I have a U.S. 2008 Land Cruiser and the brights aren't working. The blue colored bright indicator on the dash lights up, but no brights come on. I've checked the bulbs and fuses (15a under the hood) and they all look fine. I swapped the relays for "Head HI" and "Head LO". And I'm not seeing...

[SOLVED] This was it. I'm not sure what blew the fuse, but I replaced it this morning and everything is working fine now. Thank you!

Yes they were. The steering column adjustment knob was stuck in the down position and may have tripped those functions. Another thread said that a lumbar control did the same thing.

I found on another thread here somebody was having the same issue and it may be a 40 amp breaker or possible fuse. I'm trying to figure out where that breaker might be and how I get at that to reset it, any advice?

I am in Klamath Falls. I don't think I want to deal with it.

Is that an easy/inexpensive fix? That gasket was pretty recently replaced but I don't know much abut these kinds of things.
