how to replace 97 Lexus ES300 transmission
You do not have the correct timing set for that car.
Check your oil level.
I have the exact same issue on our 1996 ES300..My suspicion is that it is indeed the switch
In a 1997 Lexus ES300, the fuse for the power mirrors is located in the engine compartment fuse box. You can find this box near the battery. Look for the fuse labeled "MIR" or "Power Mirror" in the diagram on the cover of the fuse box to identify the correct fuse. If the fuse is blown, replacing it should restore functionality to the power mirrors.
The fuse box is located to the bottom lrft of the steering wheel behind the coin holder. all you do is open it up and the pull it towards you of the rear hinges.. It will snap right back into place.
I recently had to replace the trunk light in my '97 ES300. If you just need the bulb, it's NOT replacement #194 that Walmart, Advanced Auto and others list. You need a 12V, 3 Watt bulb that looks like a fuse. I finally had to buy mine from our local Lexus dealer. Pop open the light cover with a screwdriver and carefully pull out the bulb. Try this first because it's probably only the bulb that is bad.
1997 Toyota Camry does not have a cabin air filter. - It does not have an cabin filter, BUT the filter box is the same as the Lexus ES300 that HAS a cabin filter. BUT the 4th gen camry's had sealed the slot that had the cabin filter, Modifications is needed http://www.clublexus.com/forums/es300-and-es330/168680-es300-a-c-or-cabin-filter-change-97-01-a.html Same rules apply, except you need to cut where they sealed it up (will be covered by a cover*) *that you need to salvage off a 3rd gen camry or the ES300

A P0441 code on a 1997 Lexus ES300 indicates an issue with the evaporative emission control system, specifically that the system is not purging properly. To fix this, start by checking the gas cap for proper sealing and any cracks. Next, inspect the EVAP hoses for leaks or blockages, and examine the purge valve for functionality. If these components are in good condition, the problem may lie with the EVAP canister or the engine control module, which might require further testing or replacement.
As the Lexus is Toyota's premium brand the parts to repair a Lexus will be more expensive than the same parts for a Camry. But the Lexus is one of the most reliable vehicles you can buy. At 90,000 miles the Lexus and Camry both have many miles left before they need any major repairs, assuming they were serviced regularly. Look closely at each car and see if it appears they were taken care of. I would pick the Lexus over the Camry although both are very dependable automobiles.
