How do you change 1999 Lexus rx300 starter?
I did it last night and here are my steps.
1. Disconnect the positive and negative cables from the battery. Disconnect the 2 bolts that connect the battery hold down bracket to the vehicle. All of that was done with a 10 mm socket. Remove the battery it and the plastic tray that it sits on from the vehicle.
2. Loosen the large clamp that secures the engine air intake to the big black plastic box that houses the air filter with a 10 mm socket or a large Phillips screwdriver.
3. Unplug the large electrical connector from the top of the air filter box by pressing the tab on the plastic connector and pulling. Unplug the small electrical connector from that same box top in the same manner. This 2nd plug plus a small black air hose the size of your finger are just below and to the left of the master cylinder when you are looking at the engine from the front. Squeeze the hose clamp with plyers and remove that small hose also.
4. Remove the top of the air filter box and the air filter.
5. Remove 3 10 mm bolts from the bottom of the now empty air filter box and pull the box out of the vehicle to gain access to the starter.
6. Depress the tab on the small wire connection that is attached to the starter and pull the wire out in the direction of where the battery had been. This tab was hard to find and press and I ended up getting a mirror to be able to see the tab and what needed to be depressed. I pressed from the bottom up and then pulled the connector out to my right.
7. Remove the 2 starter bolts that hold it to the engine block with a 14mm socket.
8. The starter was snug but you should be able to pull it out (to your right) and flip it up so that the starter gear is pointing towards you to have access to the large cable that is hooked to the starter for power.
9. Use 2 small screwdrivers to slip under the snaps on the plastic connector cover. Open it and slide it back down the cable.
10. Using a 12mm socket, remove the power cable from the starter.
11. Reverse this process to put the new starter in.
12. Enjoy the praise that your wife gives you for a job well done!

How to fix speedometer that only works sometimes on 91 Nissan Maxima?
it is a loose solder joint...meaning behind your dash the connection is loose....take out the screws on the top of the dash and pull out. If you have an automatic transmission, there is a sensor right behind the oil filter. Sometimes the sensor goes bad and needs to be replaced for about $156 at Nissan. I have found that by sometimes jiggling the wires by pushing them gently into the sensor can solve the problem for months at a time. -V-
How do you fix the thermostat on a 1994 es300 Lexus?
look under the hood, find the bright red star shaped plastic knob, that is the cover for the switch that controls the thermostat.
After you open this, you have to pull the switch to the right. Then go back inside, start the car and try the heat. It should be all the way up. Turn off your car with the heat on, and turn the switch back to normal and replace the cover. that should do it
