[DHL]

Hi all,

Thread 'Help! 2006 LX470 starts but won’t shift from park. Gauges/ head unit dead as well.'

Aug 16, 2019

Friends,

2006 lx470
1.Left at JFK long term parking for 2 weeks.
2.Multiple heavy rains during storage
3.Upon return vehicle starts fine.
4. During drive I hear clicking under driver dash and gauges & head unit turn off. Vehicle makes it home.
5. Next day drive for coffee and park. Vehicle starts but is locked in park. No head unit, no ac, no power windows or side mirrors. I over ride shifter & drive home.
6. Check/clean all grounds under hood. Check all 3 fuse locations and fuses. Clean battery terminals.
7. Vehicle then does not start and starter just clicks.
8. Test 6month old...

The above thread almost perfectly describes the problems I am having. However, my fusible link appears completely intact. The car was having some electrical problems but, everything was working. Randomly today, after a week of perfectly dry weather, nothing works (ABS light on, no NAV, dash, lights etc), and it's stuck in park despite starting. Any suggestions? ABS light has been on for a while and the battery light flickers on and off occasionally. I was planning on fixing those existing issues in the next week. Battery's are new.

Kind regards,
Josh.

Did you complete all of the troubleshooting steps listed in that thread? Did you replace/test the fusible link or just visually inspect? What's the voltage at the alternator and battery?

Working through all of the junction boxes currently but the rain keeps stopping play. Only visually inspected the fusible link and it looked pristine, no tarnishing or clear breaks. I'll have a look at the battery and alternator voltage

Continuity on all the fuses in the footwell junction boxes and under the bonnet. Lights work, interior and dipped/mains, electric seats work too.

I've had some gremlins I'm trying to deal with now and it doesn't seem like I can get any definitive answers through research these things can be very frustrating
