    UPDATED: Tail light help

    After doing as much as I could and not being that great at electrical I took the LX into the shop as I needed the A/C compressor looked at anyway as it was getting warm again and my son doesn't understand rolling down windows like I do every day, not to mention when I even drove vehicles without...

    UPDATED: Tail light help

    Actually I have not but I have rewired this before as it was causing my car to lock on its own when I would open and shut the tailgate. I will check it again.

    UPDATED: Tail light help

    Ok just so I understand and appreciate your patience. Take out all the bulbs and not just disconnect them? I did take the rear bulbs out and replace with all new bulbs. There were two bulbs that did appear to be blown but the new ones did not help. I think I do have an extra trailer harness...

    UPDATED: Tail light help

    UPDATE: Worked on the LX for about another hour. This time I hooked up an led light that i plugged directly in the the fuse port that kept blowing so that I could keep the circuit connected. We connected and disconnected everything with no results. I also replaced the headlight column switch...

    UPDATED: Tail light help

    Another update. I pulled the left rear tail light out to check the tow converter and inspected the rear tail light bulb again. Upon inspection I noticed they sent me the wrong bulbs. It was a single filament bulb and not a dual filament. Now that I think about it and after looking at photos, the...

    Just an update: Disconnected all front lights and fuse pops immediately. Going to disconnect rear and tow harness and try that as well one by one.

    Ok I'll give that a shot too. I hate wiring, so much relies on something else.

    UPDATED: Tail light help

    Ok thanks, it does have trailer wiring but we have never used it on the LX. Once it quits raining I'll get under there. It won't fit in the garage.

    Rears were all dry. I'll check the fronts but the LX has its own fuse for the taillights as all other lights work.

    UPDATED: Tail light help

    Update: replaced all 4 bulbs in the rear. All other lights work. Turn, reverse, dash, brake, headlights high and low, driving/fog lights. As soon as you turn lights on the fuse blows. We have aftermarket headlights but they have been in for over 2 years with no issues and we have not recently...

    UPDATED: Tail light help

    I did a search but on my phone it's a little harder. The running lights quit working on our 99LX470. The fuse blows immediately when replacing it. Brake lights, reverse lights, headlights and fog lights all work. I took the tail lights off and all wiring is good and not sure they had ever been...

    99 Lexus LX 470 loss of power

    Well codes only told me it was the fact we did not have any CATS on it and it is old enough I did not mind updating the small stuff as I went along. New CATS will be here Thursday and hopefully installed this weekend. Have a bad CV axle or ujoint shutter right now too that my son just told me...

    99 Lexus LX 470 loss of power

    I replaced the MAM and it may have helped a little. Having a CV Axle or Drive shaft issue so hard to tell just yet.

    LX470 shakes pretty violently when letting off the gas?

    Update: drove it some more after oil change and tire rotation and it definitely was not an out of balanced tire. Upon further inspection when I got home both drive shafts do not have any play in them best I can tell, however I will probably replace both since u joints have been making noise. I...
