Lexus SC430 :: Lock / Unlock Beeper Location And Replacement?
Replacing the beeper for the lock/unlock? I'd like one not like every other car in the lot. I always look around when another car beeps. Is it located in a good (accessible) place like the horns?
View 1 RepliesLexus SC430 :: 2003 Won't Unlock - Can't Open Door Using Fob Or Manually
Neither key fob will work (yes batteries are good). We use both keys everyday, but I sent my daughter to store and she calls me and says the key won't open the door using the Fob or manually. I bring her my key and I can't get in the car either. When you press any button on either Fob absolutely nothing happens except the lil red light on the Fob blinks.
When using the key manually turning to the left does nothing, turning to the right causes a click that you can hear and feel but the door is still locked. Nothing has changed. The only thing different that she did was when she got out she hit the lock button on the door instead of using the Fob once she was out. ( she's not use to using Fob because her 93 SC400 Fobs don't work). So what happened here, what broke? Or did somehow she activate some Anti-Theft system or something? What do I need to do?

Weird situation. Both remotes seem to be acting up. Especially in the mornings, they will not chime or unlock the doors. The red light flashes on the remote, but nothing happens. I open the door via the key blade insertion into door hole.
Sometimes if I slam the door, it starts working again. Not sure if just coincidence or not.
I changed the remote batteries. But even still, seems odd that it would be the remotes if both are doing the same thing.
Lexus SC430 :: Battery Dead - Keys Won't Unlock Driver Side Door?
Reviving my car after long months of long winter storage and I cannot get the door unlocked. I know the battery is dead so the remote won't work, but I cannot even unlock the door with the key, twisting it back and forth and nothing happens. I am just trying to get under the hood so i can jump the car, but no way to unlock the door. It is a 2002 SC430 , is the key supposed to work ? Or does the car need battery for the key to twist and unlock the door?
View 9 RepliesLexus GX 2010+ :: Any Way To Unlock All Doors By Pushing Unlock Button On Key Fob Once
I did a search and read the manual but I can't seem to figure it out. Is there a way to unlock all of the doors by pushing the unlock button on the key fob once? I see in the manual it can be done I think by turning "remote 2 - press unlock" on in the car settings but it doesn't seem to work. Also am I reading correctly that there are no door unlock sensors on the rear doors? With my LS and my old IS I could touch the rear doors and all of the doors would unlock but this can't be done on the GX?
View 3 RepliesLexus GS 2006-11 :: 2007 - Car Acts Sluggish At Accelerating
I've noticed since yesterday that my engine has become really loud when accelerating - obnoxiously loud. Best way of describing it is it's taken on that "muscle car" sound when accelerating which I'm not a fan of. I've had company in the car and they've asked if I've "made the car louder". It also seems to be a bit more sluggish at accelerating.... either that or I'm subconsciously afraid to accelerate and push it too hard. I topped it off with oil because it was a bit low and that didn't make a difference. It is however, just about time for an oil change... could this play a factor? [URL]..................

My 2003 RX300 doesn't have any power when I tried to unlock the car with the key fob. The security alarm is also no longer blinking. There is no crank noise or any noise for that matter when I turn the key into the ignition. Steps I 've taken so far:
1. Replace the Key fob battery (spare one as well) but no avail. A red light on the key fob when pressed.
2. Verified that the car battery healthy indication is good (ie. its color is still GREEN)
I am thinking it could be the car battery or the immobilizer. My next step is to try to jump start the car although the last time i had a dead battery it would still crank but this time the car is just dead - absolutely no power nor noise.

Lexus ES 2007-12 :: Not Able To Lock / Unlock By Hand
I have a 2008 ES, Recently I've not been able to lock and unlock my car using my hand. this usually occurs after I've gotten to work (30 mins from home) and when I'm returning back to the car after work (12 hours later). I've had the batteries changed in the key fob hoping this would solve the problem, but it hasn't.
View 4 RepliesLexus IS 2014+ :: Key FOB Remote Won't Unlock The Doors
I have a 2014 Lexus IS 250 that is only 10 months old and my key FOB isn't unlocking the doors. I've tried using both keys. I don't think the batteries are dead since the power light still works on both keys, and they are not even a year old. Not to mention it would be very coincidental that both keys would die at the same exact time.
I need to get to work but don't want to get there and not be able to lock my car.
Lexus LS 2007+ :: 2008 - Unlock All Doors With FOB?
I typically carry my keys in my laptop bag, and on my 09 LS460 when I use to open up the back door by grabbing onto the handle all the doors would unlock. Now on my 08 LS460L when I open up the back door it doesn't open all the doors. Is this some type of setting I can change? Or is this something they changed from 08 to 09?

View 7 RepliesLexus SC430 :: AC Started Blowing Hot Air
A few months my AC starting blowing hot air. When I was at the dealer, they claimed the compressor was bad and wanted over a 1000 to replace. I looked online when I was there and said the new denso compressor was about 300 online. They wanted double. I just left and didn't worry about it since it was about winter then. Now I need to get it fixed.
A guy noticed the other day when I cut the AC button on, the clutch engaged and cut back off. He didn't have time to fully check it that day and wants me to bring back if I can another day.
I did some searching on this board, but haven't seen compressor issues with the SC430. I have a 94 ES300 and a 2004 RX330 and neither have had compressor issues. So I am shocked at this anyway.
I bought a relay, but that did not work. I just read on the LS forum that a lot of people have had problems with the AC pressure switch.
I understand that switch could prevent the compressor from coming on when the switch goes bad. Do we have that switch on the 06 SC430? If so, where is it? I can't find a part number listed in All data. I would love to check it before spending a ton of money on compressor replacement.
By the way, I have plenty of refrigerant. They checked that at the dealer and added some then. And I did AC diagnostics and show no codes.
Lexus SC430 :: Top Go Down In Drive When At 0mph?
I thought my top used to go down in drive when I was at 0mph, but recently it only goes down when the car is in park. Maybe my memory is just bad but does everyone's sc430 top go down in park only ? Or can you also drop the top when you are in drive at 0mph? Maybe it never could drop the top in drive at 0mph and my mind is playing tricks on me!
