Lexus ES

The thermostat can be found on the front of the engine, near the bottom. A diagram of the thermostat can be obtained from most auto-parts stores.

the thermostat is next to the water pump. Follow the lower radiator hose from the rad to the engine. that is were you will find the thermostat.

Procedure to remove low beam bulb.

First unplug the electrical connector from the bulb ( white plastic plug with two wires). There is a round black rubber boot with two tabs covering the back of he bulb and assembly. This can be firmly puled straight off. This will expose the back of the bulb and the little metal clip ( looks like a bent up paper clip). Push the clip down and away from the bulb. Your bulb and assembly will now come straight out(note the position of your fingers when you remove the bulb and assembly). DO NOT reposition the bulb and assembly in your hand as this will make it harder to reinstall. Note that the bulb you pulled out is actually the bulb and the holder. Holder is black in color and bulb sits on that. Connectors of holder and the bulb are placed 90 deg apart. If you look at the new bulb and the holder+bulb assembly you just pulled out, you will figure out what I am saying here. Just pull the old bulb straight out of the assembly and insert the new one ( do not touch the new one with your fingers!!!, hold it with a paper towel or clean tissue). Insert the new bulb and assembly back into the headlight noting your finger positions are the same as when you pulled it out. Re-clip the clip ( push it in and move it toward the bulb to clip). Clean the the rubber boot and press it back into position. Install electrical connector. Try out your new light ( bulb is about $15) Lexus want $100 to do this.

DO Not remove the metal clip out from the headlight assembly by removing any screws. Push the small end of the clip down a bit (towards the front of the car and not towards ground) to release; once released just lift that end up; other end will not be coming out of the headlight assembly. The action is very similar to opening a simple cloth safety pin.

Drivers side bulb.... need to remove battery. Not so on passenger side bulb. When "reclipping the clip" look in advance where the clip needs to go because you cant see what you are doing with your hands in the way. You do not have to push too hard on the "paperclip"clip to reinstall it. Basic Bulb $8.00 at any auto parts store. There is a second bulb type also... HID I think...high intensity discharge, $80.00.... for those who made the "mistake" of upgrading their headlights.

the black wires are for the heater circuit, the blue and white are the sensor wires. the universal sensor probably wont work though, its best to bite the bullet and get the correct one from toyota.

It is about one hour of labour. So depends on your labour cost.

it is located at the top left corner when you are looking directly at the motor, it has a lil blue/green cap....

You do not have the correct timing set for that car.

in the lower hose under the altinaiter? Nick Dee

1. Disconnect the wires from the bulb (just pull connecter straight out);

2. There's a big rubber seal surrounding the bulb preventing water and dirt to go into the headlamp; pull it out as well, use little bit more force;

3. Now you should see bulb itself and a locking pin over it; push the locking pin toward the bulb and to the side to unlock it;

4. pull the bulb out;

5. when you put replacement bulb make sure you don't touch it with your bare hands (It's halogen bulb) as it can burn due to oil residue on our hands;

6. follow reversed instrunctions;

In the gas tank under the rear seat

Remove the rear seats (bottom ones) easy to do, just pull it up; it'll snap off, you'll need a ratchet or monkey wrench i think it was 15mm or somewhere around there, but all you do is take out the bolts and replace.

brake pedal under dash

righty tighty lefty loosey... are you kidding me? if somethings in the way move it then put it back replace wires on same plugs if that's too difficult most mechanics will do it for under 60 dollars in about 15 minutes

The 2011 Lexus ES-350 is 15 ft. 11.1 in. (191.1 in.) long.

The cover slides straight forward. Firmly pull, wiggling side to side, sliding toward the front of the car to release the latch. Gently lift straight up (the wires will remain connected to the lamp socket. Twist out bulb socket (counter clockwise) remembering the orientation for its return trip (it's a confusing socket). Or you can detach the wires from the socket to lift the entire cover away for easy access. Save yourself a half hour of service @ $95/hour.

Unfortunately, you cannot do this by yourself. You must go to a LEXUS dealer because these keys are laser precision cut. They only need to know your VIN and they will order the key to be cut from LEXUS. It may take about a week to get your key from LEXUS HQ.

Hello. Being the owner of a '94 lexus, i am well aware of the car's propensity for power window problems. In fact, i realized how very common of a problem this was once my front passenger window stopped working. Well, after removing my door panel and inspecting the components i was quite surprised to discover that the inner workings of my door were what appeared to be one complete unit. This indeed was confirmed upon my calling a local toyota dealer. The entire unit needed to be replaced for a proper repair and it would run somewhere in the neighborhood of $235 for a "window regulator motor assembly." however, if you would rather be hot than cough up that exorbitant amount, such as was my feeling, there is another option. Open the phone book or search on the internet for a salvage or auto scrap yard in your area and simply call them. There are an unbelievable amount of cars out there which have been involved in accidents and damaged, yet have excellent, practically brand-new window regulators on them! A great resource requiring a simple phone call.

The curb weight of the 2010 Lexus ES-350 is 3605 lbs..

It is near the rear spark plug bank the right side

The MSRP, or manufacturer's suggested retail price, for a 2013 Lexus ES350 is $36,370. That's the base price, for the sedan type model. Depending on optional features that can be chosen, that price generally increases; especially with the additional of taxes and title.

white smoke out of the tail pipe especially on '''warm''' weather usually means antifreeze/coolant leaking in to the cilynders. you may have a blown head gasket(cheapest to replace) and or a crack/warped cilynder head or crack block(not cheap) if the smoke its happening in '''Cold''' weather it could simply be condensation which is normal.

to find out exactly ,in a v6 engine ,simply take out the 2 middle spark plug (1 of each side) and crank the engine. if you see white smoke come out of either one that's where your leak is and you would go from there.(just crank the engine '''Do NOT''' let the engine run for long without sparkplugs or catalyc converter damage may occur.in a 4 cilynder engine take out any center spark plug and see where the leak is .(either way in a 4 cilynder engine you only got 1 gasket)

BATT/ALT light on; ammeter shows no output; dim lights - start the vehicle and disconnect the battery; if the engine dies, the alternator is bad.

Often it's an alternator diode. Check the battery first. When batteries start to go bad they can often start to discharge over a couple hours. Take it to an auto parts retailer and have them test the battery and alternator for you. I had the same problem with my '92 Windom (ES 300). It was a faulty trunk mounted CD changer that was draining the battery.

Obviously check the oil level first. If OK, then sounds like your oil pump is bad.
