Lexus

Once you get the correct 2004-2006 Lexus RX330 special rear wiper blade it is very easy to replace. See sources and related links below.

Drivers side by the dead pedal behind the panel.

The chassis is the structural elements of the vehicle. A unibody chassis, (no separate frame) includes everything but bolted on body panels. If the vehicle has a body bolted on a separate frame construction then the chassis is the frame.

1. Remove the V-Bank cover.

2. Drain the engine coolant.

3. Remove the radiator cap from the radiator reservoir.

Caution: To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot, as fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure

4. Remove the water filler plug from the throttle body.

5. Remove the 3 drain plugs on the engine and radiator, and drain the coolant.

6. Close the 3 drain plugs. Tighten the drain plug to 108 inch lbs. (12.7 Nm).

7. Refill with engine coolant.

8. Slowly fill coolant to the throttle body until it is full.

Note: Use of improper coolants may damage engine cooling system.

Note: Use "Toyota Long Life Coolant" or equivalent and mix it with plain water according to the manufacturer's directions.

9. Use of the coolant which includes more than 50% (freezing protection down to −31°F (−35°C)) or 60% (freezing protection down to −58°F (−50°C)) of ethylene−glycol is recommended, but not more than 70%.

Note: Do not use an alcohol type coolant or plain water alone.

The coolant should be mixed with plain water (preferably demineralized water or distilled water). Capacity (w/ Heater): 11.6 qts

10. Install the water filler plug to the throttle body. Tighten plug to 33 ft. lbs. (45 Nm).

11. Slowly pour coolant into the radiator reservoir until it is "FULL".

12. Install the radiator cap.

13. Bleed the cooling system.

14. Start the engine, and open the heater water valve.

15. Maintain the engine speed at 2,000 − 2,500 rpm, and warm up the engine.

16. Stop the engine, and wait until the engine coolant cools down.

17. Refill coolant into the reservoir until it is "FULL".

18. Check engine coolant for leaks.

19. Check engine coolant specific gravity correctly.

20. Reinstall the V-Bank cover.

1.) unplug the connector in the trunk.

2.) remove the 2 gold-colored screws with a Phillips head screwdriver from inside the trunk. They can be seen from the trunk. 1 is thru the larger square opening where the wire connects to the 3rd brake light. The 2nd is on the right side thru a small (screwdriver width) hole covered by a piece of foam tape stuff.

3.) after removing the 2 screws, go inside the cabin and the brake light housing pops right up.

4.) disconnect the bulb from the housing while inside the cabin.

5.) in the trunk remove the wire and bulb. (it's about 5 inches long. the wire from the connector to the bulb socket)

6.) reverse steps to install.

I did this today. It wasn't easy, but it'll be much easier next time.

From inside the trunk reach into the rectangular hole and disconnect the plug for the light. Though this hole you can see one of the two screws that holds down the light housing to the rear deck (this screw also ties down the plug receptacle), but you don't need to remove this screw unless you need to get the plug receptacle out of the way. There is a circular hole about 1 inch in diameter several inches from the rectangular hole. This hole has a sticker covering it. Remove and discard the sticker. Through this hole you can see the other screw that holds down the light housing. But you don't need to remove this screw. Look through the rectangular hole, shine a flashlight through the circular hole, and you'll the light bulb holder/socket. This needs to be turned about 1/4 turn ccw to be able to pull it and the bulb out. I used a long screw driver to push on it to get it to turn. You can then pull out the bulb socket, with wires and plug attached to it, through the rectangular hole. Now that you've got the darned thing in your hands, replace the bulb. That completes the easy part.

The hard part is to get the bulb socket back into the hole. If you really need to, you can remove the two screws, then go into the car and pry up the housing, remove it, and practice putting the bulb socket into the hole, but on my Sonata you can't replace the housing with the bulb socket installed because there is not enough clearance due to the sloping rear windshield. Try it, and you'll see.

Now's a good time to insert the new bulb into socket, reconnect the plug, and step on the brake pedal just to verify that the new bulb works. Then disconnect the plug and continue.

I shined the flashlight though the round hole, and while holding the bulb socket by the wires was able to get the bulb back into the hole on the housing. Then with the help of the long screwdriver reaching through the round hole, I got the socket all the way into the housing. I then used the same screw driver to push on the socket to turn it the 1/4 turn necessary to lock it place. Reconnect the plug and you're done.

After having done this once, I think I could do it again the same way in about 5 minutes. What would really make this easy is a sizeable hole right below the bulb socket, but I guess Hyundai didn't think of that. I thought seriously about drilling my own hole, before I finally did it holding it by the wires and with the help of the flashlight and long screw driver.

____________________________________________________________

I followed the instructions above, however I ran into two issues.

1) In order to remove the housing, I had to disconnect the light from it. Once it was detached, I had a little trouble getting the housing completely out from the 3 latches on the back of the housing at the base of the window. The light also fell into the trunk.

Once this was completely detached, replacing the light is simple. The trick is in getting in all back together, which leads me to the 2nd issue.

2) When trying to replace the housing with the light attached, there was no clearance from the back area where the housing sits on as it is sloped. There's a piece of the light housing that extends too far. I suppose this piece is to twist the light housing into the housing cover.

After 5 attempts and with the help of a certified mechanic, we BOTH agree with the above statement regarding drilling a hole directly under the housing so it would be easily reached. Neither of us were successful in trying to attach the light throught the hole that is offset by 3 -4 inches.

My handyman experience finally came handy. Here's how I solved the issue of getting the light attached to the housing back in place without going from the bottom. I realized that if I cut the extended piece of the light housing (being VERY careful not to cut the wiring), that the clearance for the housing/light would be very minimal and I may be able to push the whole thing through. First, I scored the piece I wanted to cut with a utility knife (on both sides), then I used a heavy wire cutter to clip it off. It came off in one shot and didn't crack the rest of the light housing or the wiring. I then went into the cabin, attached the light and wedged the entire housing as close as I cuold get it. I then pulled the wiring through the hole in the trunk as to no crease or clip the wires. I used a flathead screwdriver to wiggle the housing in and.. PRESTO! the housing went in perfectly. I secured the two screws back, attached the power and perfect!

I hope I only have to do this once. However, next time will be much easier. I have replaced enough lights and think this one has a serious design flaw in not having the hole directly underneath in order to remove/replace the light easily. Also, there's nothing in the manual or on Hyndai's website regarding this issue.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After uncoupling the connector it was to hard to try and turn the bulb socket from the boot. I ended up dismantling the light housing from the cabin. Even with the screws loosen, one needed force to release the housing. Once the housing was loosened I could then use a screw driver to quarter turn the bulb case from the housing, but because of the bulb case this had to be dropped before the housing could be removed.

The tip about snipping off some of the bulb casing was great, which allowed me to replace the bulb, reinsert the bulb casing to the light housing and squeeze it back into position (although I don't think it will sit flush ever again). This was after a few attempts to attach the bulb case from the boot.

Test the bulb is working, disconnect the cable again, fasten the screws from the boot, until the light housing sits as flush as possible, reconnect cable and retest light works.

Hyundai definitely need to make a design change here.

So much for only having to change a light bulb to get your warrant!

You would use R-12.

The parking light is in the headlight assy.

bottomof dash drivers side

a couple of the screws ADJUST the direction of the light... see if your local library has a book to look at, and if your going to keep it, consider investing in a manual also the parts store people may walk you through it... d

I have a 2001 RX300 and found out it is very easy to change the headlights. From the back, remove the plastic clip holding the wires and bulb casing. Then turn the bulb casing 1/8th turn and remove. The new products have you replace the small plastic casing and bulb in a single unit for about $10. No Tools needed.

how much should it cost to rebuild transmission on 1995 Lexus es300

Is somebody outthere have a full instruction how to replace a timing belt on GS300??

Changing any bulb on a Lexus is a challenge. The most difficult part is determining the exact process. The first time might take 2 hours while the second 20 minutes or less. While I have changed the headlight bulbs on my 90 LS400, I haven't on a ES300. My suggestion is to go to lexusownersclub.com and post a question in the ES300/330 forum. Someone there will know and help you as it is the best Lexus forum available. You might also try lextreme.com as he is alos really good. VBDENNY

2001 Lexus IS300 turn signal light bulb lamp replacement procedure: Purchase the correct replacement turn signal light bulb(s) first, before disassembling the vehicle. See sources and related links below for replacement bulb information and full light bulb part numbers list. Then consult your owner's manual for the turn signal light bulb lamp replacement procedure. As simple as it sounds, the owner's manual is the best place to start for bulb replacement instructions and illustrations. You may want to consider replacing both left and right at the same time in order to keep brightness and color equal (optional).

The crankshaft sensor for this model is located at the front of the engine, near the crankshaft itself.

NO,too big.

I assume that you are wanting to know how to change the rear brake pads. First, loosen, but do not remove, the lug nuts on the rear wheels. Second, put the rear end up on jacks so that the rear wheels are off the ground. Then remove the rear wheels. Then you are going to see the caliper. On the back of the caliper there is one bolt and a pin attaching the caliper to the main brake assembly. You can tell these from the other bolts because there is a rubber boot around them. Now, you are going to remove the bolt which is on the lower part of the caliper. Once that is removed, the whole caliper will pivot upwards exposing the brake pads (you may have to giggle it a little bit to break it free). The brake pads simply slide out and can be replaced with the new pads. You may have to pry the piston which is part of the caliper back in because you are inserting new brakes. A screwdriver or clamp is handy to help you do this. Now simply repeat these steps in reverse order and you have yourself a new set of brake pads. Good Luck!!

I assume that you are wanting to know how to change the rear brake pads. First, loosen but do not remove the lug nuts on the rear wheels. Second, you are going to need to put the rear end of the car on jacks and then remove the rear wheels. You are now going to be able to see the brake assembly. Locate the caliper (the piece that looks like it is clamped onto the rotor). The top of the caliper is held on by a pin and a bolt. You can tell these from other bolts because there is a rubber accordion-like boot surrounding them. Remove the bolt with the boot (on the lower part of the top of the caliper). Then giggle the top of the caliper and it should pivot upwards exposing the brake pads. The brake pads are held on by clamps so simply wiggle the pads to remove them. You can now insert your new pads in the same way that the old pads were situated. Next you are going to need to push the piston of the caliper back in so that there is room for your new pads. A screwdriver or clamp can help you achieve this. Now all you need to do is pivot the caliper back down, bolt it on, do the same to the other side, put on the wheels, lower the car, and you have yourself a new set of rear brakes. FYI, when you start the car, pump your brakes a few times so that the pistons are compressed once again against the brake pads. Good Luck!!

There is one fuse panel next to the dead pedal on the drivers side of course and there is also one right in front of the battery under the hood. Replacing the fuses under the hood can be very tricky. See your local dealers parts guy for instructions on how to replace these fuses because most of them don't just pull out.

The 2008 Lexus IS250 uses the 4GR-FSE Toyota V6 engine, which has a timing chain.

behind instrument cluster, you don,t need to remove the ecu it could be reflashed with a device called TCODE, iam sending you a link in case you need more info

Lexus vehicles run best on 93 octane or better. you'll probably get pinging below that, especially on hard acceleration.

The factory recommends premium fuel.

The Rx400h oil filter is on the front of the engine behind the radiator. You might be able to reach it from the top but it probably too difficult to remove and replace from the top. Remove the debris shield from the bottom. It has about six or so screws and two trim buttons which should be removed to free the shield. With that removed, you can see the filter about the middle oriented for and aft.
