How do you replace the front turn signal bulb located on a 1993 Lexus LS 400?
I have changed quite a few bulbs in this car but never that bulb. Go to lexusownersclub.com and post the question in the LS forum. I am on there quite often and learned most of what I know about the Lexus from that website. If you don't feel like joining you can always just browse the archives and boards, I know I have seen it on there. VBdenny

Where is the electrical starter located on a 1995 Lexus ls 400?
Not an easy job, for some reason the starter is under the intake manifold on the engine so all the top of the engine has to be removed to get at the starter. Good luck!
How do you route a serpentine belt for a 1993 Lexus 400?
Usually the route is on the underside of the hood.
They are kind of tricky to route. Look in the owners manual as there is a diagram in there I believe. If you don't have an owners manula, contact a Lexus dealer and they will order you a new one for free. They will also provide you with a complete printout of all dealer service done on this vehicle done at any Lexus dealership. For specifics go to lexusownersclub.com and check their boards, they have a wealth of Lexus information. vbdenny

Where is the height control switch located on a 1992 Lexus LS400?
It is located next to the shifter wher the ECT PWR control is. Please be mindful that Air Ride suspension (height control as you call it) was an option not standard so not all models have it and also it will only switch to LO when you exceed 85 mph. LO is not an option just NORM and HIGH. MC
Yes you can just replace the headlight bulbs. First you have to take out the cover by the battery. Then unscrew the cover by the radiator and simply lift it up to take it off. The light bulbs are visible at this time.
How do you turn off the maintenance light on a 2005 Lexus LS 430?
open the switch with reset button pressed until disapear for 5 secs dont start the engine
I came across this problem. There is a lock below the steering wheel that will cause the trunk lever to disengage when it is pushed in. Use the master key to turn the lock (located below the steering wheel). It must be the master key. Without the master key you will need to remove the lock (located below the steering wheel). Good luck.

It's attached to the transaxle. Actually, the LS400 is rear wheel drive and doesn't have a transaxle. The sensor is located on the drivers side of the transmission. It is very hard to find. Recommend a repair manual or go to your local auto parts store and ask to see the diagram in their parts catalog of that item. Usually, it will show you where it is located.

Why does the check engine light come on in a '93 Lincoln Town Car?
Hey Michael==Go to auto zone and they will read the codes for free and it will tell what direction you should go to repair your car. GoodluckJoe
Autozone can only scan 1996 and newer lincolns!
They CAN check the pre 96 ones but it requires them to actually look for the right connector and they are usually too lazy to do it so they just say they can't unless it's 96+. 96 got a standardized scanner across all make/model lines in US so just one code reader. When they are slow, they have checked the codes on my 94 Towncar several times. Half the time, I was told they couldn't do pre 96's and the other half they did it. They will also tell you that unless the check engine light is on, codes can't be read. That is also untrue. Codes are stored in memory for IIRC 500 ignition cycles or when the battery is disconnected, the codes are cleared.
One thing I have learned about Towncars is that damn EGR valve causes carbon buildup. Remove the throttle body. Right under that is a gasket. Go to your nearest napa store and get the gasket, it's like 3 bucks I think. Anyway, after you remove that you will see a small half canal that hides under the gasket. Most likely and it happens on all towncars especially if you use low grade garbage gas it will be clogged with carbon, get a can of gum out carbareutor cleaner and just clean it.try to clean it all nice and squeaky, Put the throttle gasket in(new one) and put back the throttle, reset the computer and let her fly, you see that check engine light go away.

that is so true!! went today to get a reading and told me only 96 on. it is lie, because last week the guy did the diagnostic for me. unfortunately he wasnt there today.
Hey Clifton==Takeit to Auto zone and have the codes read free. GoodluckJoe I have had mine tested and there is an error in the computer that gives false readings such as check engine, hot engine, etc. There is a computer chip that needs replacing, but I am told that the exact same number must be on the replacement computer chip. When each system is tested through the computer individually, it will test as ok, or in fine operation, yet the lights will continue to display randomly. This error could not be reset, only a replacement of the computer chip is what my mechanic told me to solve the problem. Until replacement, you will have to watch the fluids, temp, etc. manually (old fashioned way of checking the dipsticks & fluid levels) until this chip is repaired.
How can you determine why a check engine light has come on in a 2000 Mercury Moutaineer?
Have the Codes read by a code scanner; some autoparts stores do this with out charge (Autozone in Texas does this).
You can also purchase a code scanner, but they range from $150 - $500.
