Alright so I had taken the lx for an inspection with my mechanic. Didn't see any metal shavings or chunks in the transfer case oil, nor anywhere else. Did make a remark about the sleeve showing signs of burning (paraphrasing here). But oil levels were good and nothing seems to be broken. Much...
I actually never noticed the cdl would activate on 4 low normally, but I certainly do notice that now. The cdl seems to actuate just fine in 4 high as well.
After hearing that noise I immediately put it back into 4 high and haven't drove it in 4low since, I'd be worried about making the issue...
Hey folks, I went up to the mountains this weekend and took my 1999 LX470 with 250k miles up a worn dirt fire road. Considering the trail is pretty dusty, I decided to do it on 4 low at low speed (likely my first mistake). Slowly going up the hill, my wheels get stuck and when I gave it more...
I was saying that the previous owner had a 15A fuse instead of the factory required 20A fuse. Since 20 amps wasn't able to pass through a 15A fuse, it wasn't able to complete the circuit. I
found this out by using the diagram on the fuse box instead of the older 98 owners manual.
I agree its...
Update: I finally figured it out, and I'm really disappointed.
So I narrowed it down to the ECU-B fuse, but I was confused as the manual I have been using didn't show it anywhere (I could only find a 98 OM for my 99). The fuse box did show an ECU-B1 fuse on the diagram so I took one last look...
Did this end up working for you? My 99 lx470 doesn't have power to dome lights, locks, the keyfob, and other accessories when the truck is turned off. When turned to on and/or running, it works normally. Any luck?
Did you find a solution to this? I have this exact same issue for my 1999 lx470. I've checked the fused a few times over and seems to be okay. I've speculated three things for my case but still unsure about it.
1) When a previous owner deleted his AHC, he could have failed to plug something...
Good lord, rewirring the harness sounds like a total nightmare. Do you know where I can find the security system, or guides on rewiring the wiring harness? Thanks
Thank you, I reached the same conclusion as you and many others. I'll be replacing the door actuator motors or possibly maintaining them if it's easier and cheaper. Do you know where to get the door lock actuators?
Dome lights work just fine with the car switched to "ON". As for the alarm...
So after giving it some more thought and investigation, I narrowed it down to a constant power problem with the lc100 for the systems not being powered when the car is off and the key is removed. These systems are; Remote Locking System, Dome, Clock, Ignition Light, Door Courtesy Lights...
Hey guys, I got a 99 LX470 4 months ago with 241k miles on it. Since I bought it, the Key Fob does not work, the automatic door locks are defective, and electrical power is not delivered some systems when the car is off, such as the dome lights. More detail below:
For the Key Fob, the battery...
Hey guys, my name is Nic and I recently bought a 1999 Lexus LX470 with 239k miles, and I am very excited to travel Southern California with it! A few things I wish to address before taking it on some serious trails are:
Mechanical:
- CV Axle replacement (torn boot, no sounds when turning).
-...
