Good catch, didnt think of that. Any idea where its located?

Good call. I'll check from under the engine, got tied up with work today so there isn' much light left but I'll take a peek and se what I can find out. Battery connections should be good, but I know there are plenty of ground wires to check. Wondering if anyone has a diagram that could point...

Yeah, I am guessing it would be some sort of connection issue. If it was a bad CPS, would that prevent the starter from turning? If not, then it shouldn't be a CPS issue either

Correct

Hmm well if thats the case then it shouldn't be an immobilizer issue regardless as the starter does not even turn. I do get the relays to click, but no starter click. I doubt that really helps to narrow it down though. I live in an apartment so I might need to find a shop to do some diagnostics...

Good catch. I'll check that when I get some light. Then again, if it was a bad CPS would the starter not turn over? I imagine a bad CPS would result in a no-start, but the engine would still try and turn over -- same goes for no compression/spark/fuel, right?

I did check for the immobilizer light, but I think I was looking at the dash ( I do know what light you're talking about though). I will check again. As for the EFI fuses, I checked all fuses in the engine bay and all are good :/

Hmm I'll see if I can find a diagram when its lighter out again and take another look, thanks for the tip

Also, I just checked the front of the motor (don't have my tools on me to dig too deep), but I couldn't directly locate the CPS wire. However, I did check behind the belt and I see no loose wires or chewed up wires so I think that means the crank position sensor wire should likely be okay

I didn't realize that, I'm going to head outside and check on that to see if thats the case. Thanks for chiming in Alpine!! I'll let you know what happens

Do you know to check to see if the immobilizer is the issue?

Thanks for the feedback. I do have a code scanner but I am not pulling up any codes. I did briefly check the electrical connections in the motor since I replaced the starter recently and I imagine some could have come loose, but everything looks tight. I did not know, however, that there are...

That's a really good point - I was wondering if it could have been something like that. I will check that. I replaced the alternator about a year ago, but it could be messed up. It also does have a subwoofer in it but its disconnected from the battery. I can't check the alternator while its...

Hey trunk monkey, as soon as the compressor was replaced they ran the engine and it worked fine. Probably started it a half dozen times. Then a few hours later my brother went to try something and it wouldn't start.

Hey everyone, I'm going to take one last stab at figuring out my 2000 LX470 issue. Long story short is, I had my brothers shop replace the AC compressor because I was hearing noise from the engine which only occurred with the serpentine belt on and the AC wasn't blowing cold air (the button was...
