Ok, I just bought a 2010 Mazda 6 off company lease from a friend and noticed the rear tail lights are melting on both sides - yes, actually melting. Original bulbs are as installed. Brought it to the dealer and of course its out of warranty with 48,000 miles & no Mazda won't repair it (for free anyway). Original bulbs. Is this a problem with Mazdas and are there many documented cases?? I'm in the process of brining it to the next level.
View 3 RepliesLexus SC430 :: Locks On Both Sides Suddenly Not Working Automatically
I have a 2003 SC430 with 84,000 miles on it. The locks on both sides suddenly stopped working automatically. The car can only be unlocked from the outside with the key inserted in the door. The doors can only be operated from the inside by manually locking or unlocking each door on that door above the handle. Remote batteries are new. The Windows work fine. Could it be a fuse?

Is it possible if Lexus can make it so when the Daytime running lights are on that the tail lights come on? It appears MASS has just passed a law when it is raining and you have your windshield wipers on you have to have your lights on...I leave mine on Auto and have auto windshield wipers so kinda takes away the purpose if I have to turn my lights all the way on each time.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: 2013 - Condensation In Tail Lights?
At 4800 miles I noticed condensation, moisture, or water in my tail lights assembly , I took it in for my first check up, provided pictures, the engineers at lexus said this was normal. I said mosture causes corrosion, may cause a short becauce water is a conductive element, and when it dries it will leave contaminates on the inside of the lights, they said all cars have this issue. I explained the my last 8 cars did not have this issue and I have put aftermarket headlights and tail lights on 2 my cars and they did not have this issue. Well the coversation didn't go well, I said if its so common how come its not in the manual, or a disclaimer on the car, what if I told buyers on your lot this was a common issue. I closed with letting them know it was time to let this be known. I also said just like the headlight issue's they will have to do something. The next day they called me and said they would change out the lights this one time. I am sure this not the last time this issue will be seen, the engineering at lexus is just too proud and hate to admit when they have a bad designed until law suits or deaths happen.

P0051 together with VSC and VSC Off Lights
Over the weekend I had multiple P0051 and VSC and VSC Off Lights CELs
I have reset them using my OBDII scanner. It keeps on coming back.
This means the BANK 2 SENSOR 1 (just before the CAT) is reading low temps and therefore throwing a code. I get this.
Question is why do the VSC lights go "ON" too?
This started when I installed my ScanGage e this weekend. This is a change point.
Before I go purchase a Denso sensor, I would like to perform a series of tests:
1.Remove the ScanGage e. Test drive if any of the CELs (P0051 and VSC) come back.
2.If the same set comes back, clear the VSC lights code using our home made device.
If the VSC lights disappear and the P0051 comes back, I will replace the BANK 2 SENSOR 1 Oxygen sensor. Prior to replacing, I will check for wiring issues on this sensor.

View 4 RepliesLexus SC430 :: 2002 - VSC On And Off Lights Came On / No Code
My check engine light came on.. so I took it to express tires.. And they said that they need to replace my vacuum hoses cause it busted ... well when I saw the guy used the obd checker thing.. after checking the codes.. i saw that when u turned on the engine.. the vsc on and vcs off lights came on..
So I figured after he fixed the problem.. it will go off.. well after he got done.. fixing the problem.. I drove away.. after bout like 2min.. i had to turn around cause the vsc on and vsc off came on.. and I told the guy to check.. And he used his checker.. and there was no problem.. and the "check engine" light is not on anymore.. just the vsc on and vsc off!!
Could the checker.. messed it up??? the vsc off button.. only works when the key is turned on.. " not when the engine started but right before it.. when the power comes on" so the button is working correctly.. it just comes on.. when i start driving the car...
And no they did not check my tire pressure or do anything to the tires or the wheels.. it just turned on.. when he inserted the obd thing to check..
And yes I read the [URL] .....
Is it dangerous to be driving with the vsc and vsc off light on??
Lexus SC430 :: Lights On Dashboard Remain On
I just got this used sc430 I always wanted one but never got the chance to though, the car I got is American spec and I Hove few problems with it.
1- fog lights are always on
2- my mileage gage does not work but the rim is working effectively
3- ABS light always on
4- brake lights always on
5- Air bag lights always on
6- side rear viewing mirrors control not working
7- windows auto option is not working, other wise I can use them normal.
Note I took the car to garage and once connected to the computer, the computer was not able to connect as per as the mechanic if it makes any sense.
I love my car unfortunately I don't know much.
Lexus SC430 :: Brake / ABS And VSC Lights Powered On
2002 SC430, 150,950 miles.
Had new front brake pads, re-surfaced rotors, new windshield fluid level sensor installed, 4 x wheels balanced and rotated on 8/11 at Lexus Dealer. Picked it up 8/13, drove 30 miles and it sat 8/14-8/16. Drove to work on 8/17, and on the 18 mile freeway trip home yesterday, the Brake and ABS dash lights came on as I was making a gradual left turn with damp roads.
Thought nothing of it initially, thought my knee had hit the e-brake as mine is very touchy and as long as you pull the release, the light goes away. Not this time. The Brake and ABS lights were on for 4 minutes, then eventually the VSC and VSC OFF dash lights also came on. Steering became difficult, checked brake fluid (ok), checked power steering fluid (ok). No leaks underneath, all fluid levels were just checked on 8/11 and were fine/topped off.
Parked it, set up an appointment and just dropped it off this AM. I've read brake booster, speed sensor, alternator, skid control unit .
I am hoping it's just the alternator, which makes sense with the difficult steering and the lights going on one by one. If the alternator isn't outputting enough volts, those lights will trip. I've had all O2 sensors recently replaced, other standard preventative maintenance done (timing belt, thermo, etc). I'm just hoping it's something manageable and not something that makes me wonder if the repair is worth it (vs the value of the car)...
There are no CEL lights, just the above (no codes to my knowledge).
