    Need to replace my 96 LX450 Antenna... what's the extra connector for?

    Looks like it just has motor control wires (2) and no sensor wires (4) that the LX uses. It'll run but I'm thinking it wont know when to stop and there will be some grinding of the gear and toothed driver. There may be a time-out on the antenna ECU but who wants to hear grinding? There's a...

    Dead radio, Blown three amplifiers. At a loss. Please help

    On the LX the 20 amp RADIO fuse powers the CD player and the Amp. The Amp powers the Radio. The 15 amp CIG fuse provides ACC power to the CD Player and the Amp. The 10 amp gauge fuse runs the cooling fan in the dash. Disconnect the CD player to eliminate that part of the system. I believe the...

    Windshield glass shimmies when it's cold out while driving on bumpy roads

    Just some of my observations..subject to debate: After dealing with and resolving my own windshield leaks it seemed to me that a leak anywhere on the outside glass to rubber area would present itself in the inside corners...the lowest spots. In my case it seemed that it was always the glass...

    LX 450 Fender Flare

    I repaired mine with JB PlasticWeld. The large surface area of the putty helps stabilize the repair joint. Its been holding up a few years now.

    Mystery alarm features on rs3000

    The gray wire is the antenna. Some guys extend that wire for better fob range. It wont work with it cut unless you're right on top of it with the fob.

    Need help determining cause of rust on front floor

    I cant tell exactly where your pics are. There are two bolts on each inner fender that attach to the firewall. The shape of the inner fender forms a void around these bolts which have sealer around them to keep water from migrating through the bolt holes. Im pulling all of that from memory...

    Air recirculator stuck open...

    Do you have a button that says AUTO? Are the LCs with AUTO different than the LXs? On my LX (auto climate) many of the buttons on the climate control panel don't actually do the switching...they simply signal the Auto Air ECU and transistors do the actual switching. I had a bad transistor...

    HVAC stuck in heat mode

    When I was chasing down my own "heat only" issue I found a connector behind the radio that the PO had disconnected. That doesnt sound like your solution... but just FYI. I also found that the automatic AC amplifier (white box under dash above right knee) had circuit board corrosion likely from...

    Does someone make a receiver hitch that bolts to rear crossmember

    The cross member holes on the LX are covered in plastic. I had already removed all of that in preparation for a Delta rear bumper. The hitch bolts right up with no mods to the LX. Two of the cross member holes are threaded and two are not. You will need suitable hardware.

    Does someone make a receiver hitch that bolts to rear crossmember

    I use this on my LX450. Its well made. I only use it for a bike rack but its heavy duty. https://www.ebay.com/itm/202960708055?hash=item2f4166a1d7:g:hXQAAOSw9dtej21O

    Fender flare seal/gasket

    A few years ago I ordered a 40th Anniversary gray front fender flare pad (gasket) to somewhat closely match the others on my 97 LX450. ToyotaPartsDeal still shows it plus a beige pad for the Collectors Edition. I dont know about fitment for your 94 LC but mine worked great.

    1997 LX450 Alarm Peizo/Horn

    The programming is about as easy as it gets. I would agree that it shouldnt need programmed if it was already programmed to chirp.. You have the option of turning the chirp off in programming...the video is confusing in that sense. The video also shows the RS3000 reacting to having the wires...

    Fuel Starvation and Capacitive Discharge // 97 LX450

    Any ideas why the cap discharge process helped overcome a corroded connection? At first, when I thought the process involved drawing a large amount of current to ground I was buying that it could blast through some corrosion but now that I see its just equalizing positive and negative I'm...

    Fuel Starvation and Capacitive Discharge // 97 LX450

    The process apparently discharges all capacitors in the system.....and can "fix" some strange electrical gremlins. Since this worked for this problem I would suspect more advanced electronics like ECUs than sensors, relays or pumps.... but OTOH maybe a faulty part could send the wrong info to...

    Upper radiator hose thread seepage?

    I had this same issue. I thought coolant was coming out of the threads in the hose when in fact it was just a bad connection. The radiator nipple was caked in hard coolant residue. I suspect the tiny bit of coolant that escapes is absorbed by those fibers on the end of the hose. I cleaned it...

    Rusrty frame of my grandma's 1997 LX 450. How bad is it?

    After using the needle scaler I went to a rust converter, then oil based paint and then Woolwax (similar to Fluid Film). I suspect skipping the converter and paint is less than optimal since some of the lanolin will wear off. Im not really sure how well the converters work though. I reapply...

    Rusrty frame of my grandma's 1997 LX 450. How bad is it?

    Unless you plan to separate the body and frame nothing beats a needle scaler for the first round of rust remediation. Also WAY easier to use in tight spots than a wire wheel.
