Where is the interior fuse box on the 1997 Lexus es 300?

I just got a '99 300rx with some fuse issues. There are three fuse buses--2 under the hood and one by the left knee of the driver. The trick is that they hid the fuse box behind a pull out ashtray. It's easily removed, and then you can get to the fuse buss there. Good luck

How do you replace a heater core on a 94 Isuzu Trooper?

Wow, what a chore you are about to get envolved with! You must remove almost all of your dash including the center. Next you will need to start removing the vents and other parts of your AC system under your dash. Your heater core is inside the front part of the blower box. First you must disconnect the hoses inside the engine compartment on the passenger side where they enter the fire wall. After you remove the entire black heater unit from under the dash you will be able to see the core just below the flap. You must carefully separate the blower box into its two halves to remove the core. The hardest parts are getting the new core back throught the fire wall (I enlarged one of the holes) and making sure your cables from you ac control are adjusted correctly. Sorry this is not a very technical discription.

How do I replace the 3rd brake light on a 2005 Lexus ES330?

I just replaced mine and it's super easy. Get a pair of pliers. Get on the back seat and face the third brake light. With you hand, push the brake light assembly to the left, as far as it will slide. On the right of the brake light you will see a little groove in the carpet. This groove is for your finger to pop the light out, it pops out easily. Then unplug the electrical cord. Take the pliers and gently turn the plastic piece holding the bulb and it will come out of the plastic housing. Be careful when turning because it's plastic and you don't want to damage it. You may have enough strength in your finger to turn the plastic. After you turn and remove the plastic piece holding the bulb, you simply remove the bulb with your finger (it's a Toyota bulb). I took the bulb to the Toyota dealer for a replacement. After replacing the bulb and turning it's plastic holder back in the third brake light assembly, reconnect the electrical plug, then snap the assembly back in place. If you have the bulb ready, you can complete the whole job in 3 minutes. Good Luck!

What is the approximate cost of replacing a blown head gasket?

The cost of replacing a part is a very general question that unless specified exactly is hard to answer. First, is who is replacing the part? Is the Dealer, an independent repair shop, a junkyard, the guy next door or you doing the replacement. These will all yield different prices. Not to mention that within all of these will be different labor rates and different part price mark ups. Second, what is the quality of the part? Is it a name brand, generic (white box, economy), OEM or used part? All of these will be different. Price will even differ between name brands, sometimes significantly. Thirdly, What is the warranty of the part and who is offering the warranty (the shop the parts house or the manufacturer). Limited Lifetime will have restrictions. Lifetime warranty isn?t always the best part either. Fourthly, Each vehicle can have different options that will affect how long it takes to change a part or make it call for a different part. Such as heavy duty cooling system, air conditioning, 4x4?s may have a steel plate that may need removal, Automatic or manual transmission, the list goes on. Fifthly, What additional parts will be required? Long life coolant or standard coolant, R12 or R134a air conditioning freon if it needs to be discharged or replaced? Additional adapters other fluids that may need to be added or changed? All of this will affect price. Sixthly, is the car a new car or an older car? Labor manuals or guides are set up based on a new car. Additional time may be required due to seized or rusted bolts, additional aftermarket accessories that were installed etc. So you can see where there is a great potential for variances. I offer this insight: If you take it to an independent garage like I always recommend, consider how long they have been in business. What is the quality of there work, are they honest? (see the FAQ how do you choose an auto repair shop for additional insights).

How do you replace the front turn signal bulb located on a Lexus?

Remove the light assy and turn the bulbs counterclockwise to remove them.

Open up the hood, and go in behind the fixture where the light is located. Sometimes there is an access panel on top. Open it and reach down inside and grab the bulb's socket. Twist the socket a quarter turn counter clockwise, and pull out the socket. Grab the bulb, and pull it straight out. To replace the new bulb, never touch it with your bare fingers, as this will greatly shorten the bulb's life, if it even work's at all. Use a tissue or something else in that order to handle the new bulb. Push the new bulb into the socket, put the socket back into the housing, and twist a quarter turn clockwise to secure the socket into the fixture.

FOR 99' ES300 MODELS: You do not have to do the things mentioned above. The process is much easier and simpler. No need to even open the hood. All you have to do is pull the whole turn signal assembly forward. NOTE: It is important that you do NOT pull it sideways or even at an angle for it might break the plastic clip. There is only one clip holding the assembly from the frame. To start, use a screw driver or similar and insert it in the farthest part of the signal light assembly from the front. Pry gently to move the assembly forward about an inch or two to completely unlatch the plastic clip that is holding it in place. This clip is located in the middle of the assembly. Then remove the assembly still attached by the wires. Twist the lamp holder out of it's socket to replace the busted light.
