LS400 security system...Anyone know where to find tutorials or info on this. I've had car for over a year & just discovered it. Happened to unlock trunk from inside then locked door & lifted trunk lid & alarm goes off until I unlocked door & it stoped. Now I notice security activated red light...

This is a junk yard deal. These guys may or may not have a title. They have some paper to show they own it but may take 2 days to find it and they don't waste time on that. Their interest is in motors, trannys & major parts, no nic nacs. I happen to be there getting a brake caliper for my LS...

Sean, I can't find it over there. I guess not many people have this problem. I have a friend who has a salvage yard. They got in a couple lexus' but haven't set them up on racks in yard yet. They don't come w/ keys sometime and the one I need in has the CD changer, lexus tools etc. in the trunk...

I need to find the wire that goes to the trunk lock and energize or hotwire it so it opens the lock on the trunk. I tried finding it under the dash by the control but I would need to remove lower half of dash to get to it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Bob

1992 LS, turns O/D off when brake depressed bryanallen1, your brother is a smart man and I appreciate your post from Jan. 16,09. I didn't get any other feedback & had my doubts about your solution but I pulled the wires from the hinge and another plastic piece which held same wires bundled into...

1992 LS400, drops into overdrive when brake depressed Every thing was running perfect on mine but I had some gasket leaks so changed gaskets and filters plus put new oil & filters in the engine & transmission. All OK that night but next day I notice every time I touch the brake, the engine...

overdrive when brake is pressed, 92 LS400 I have the exact same problem. Was it coming from faulty wiring in the trunk hinge? Appreciate any possible help. Bob

Looks great, wish I could afford some Lextreme... my apologies for using this thread to ask a question on another subject but I can't find any info and I saw your post below mine on this page. In 2004 you posted some info on "strut bar cushions"...

I have replaced various parts of suspension but still get a "clunk" on small bumps. I have seen in earlier post where others had similar problems and problem was this "strut bar cushion" which is described as a donut shaped bushing and strut bar fits through the center of the cushion and held...

I tried the wd40, rag cleanup & no change. The fuel relay has 4 prongs which enter the 4 female prongs to reconnect. Which 2 of these 4 female connecters do I wire direct to fully activate the fuel pumps max pressure so I can hear it, start the car or whatever to find out whether or not the fuel...

Well, I just got back on this project & don't know if I continue on this thread or start new one. I replaced the inline filter & wasn't the problem. I pulled the fuel pump relay out, just small plastic box connects with 4 prongs. Does anyone know how to check if it's ok or where I could go to...

LS 400.. I located the Fuel Pump Control Unit. Now need to figure out how to hotwire the pump so it is on high speed. If it runs then thats the problem. Anyone familar w/ this hotwiring please drop a hint. Would be a timesaver for me and much appreciated. Thanks again . Bob

When cranking it sounds strong. No smells, nothing different and now will fire and run for about one second but dies as if it is not getting any fuel. When the key switch is turned on, would there be any sound from the fuel pump because there is not any sound from anything until the starter...

Just died, starter turns it over one or times and it fires but no more. Acts like it's out of gas but is full. Where do I start? Any help appreciated. Bob
