Replying to: cookest (Oct 08, 2009 9:25 am) Your first task is figuring out what will interchange. '97 had engine and styling changes for one thing.   I'd certainly keep anything that is small and breakable, like lenses (if they fit), turn signal switch, power window switches, glove box/console locks, relays from the relay box. If the alternator had the same part #, I'd grab that, too. If the stereos interchange, take that out, too.
#8312 of 8333 2004 LS430 unknown I/O button by mikez511 Oct 25, 2009 (8:52 am)
I just bought a used 2004 LS430 recently. There is a black I/O button by the side of ECT POWER/SNOW button. I can not figure out what the button is about. I asked the previous owner and he did not know it either. He said it has no use as far as he can see. My question is : If the button is there , it should have some kind of use.

Replying to: mikez511 (Oct 25, 2009 8:52 am) Oh I think that eliminates 1st gear if I recall correctly, and also de-sensitizes the throttle, so that you don't apply too much power to the ground in slippery conditions.   It resets every time you turn off the car, so you have to keep pressing it for it to work.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 26, 2009 7:25 am) Thanks for your reply. I will check that out. But I just want to make it clear : it is a rock switch kind of button like the power switch at back of the PC. It is not push on, push off kind of button.

#8315 of 8333 Perhaps.. by vcheng Oct 26, 2009 (7:44 am)
... the Owner's Manual would a be a good place to start. Replies to this message: mikez511 (Oct 26, 2009 9:20 am)

Replying to: mikez511 (Oct 26, 2009 7:38 am) I don't have the owner's manual for your particular car. Possibly there is a sport suspension switch that activates the Power/Snow function to give you either/or. In that case, "power" would extend your shift points and "snow" would drop first gear and de-sensitive your throttle.

Replying to: vcheng (Oct 26, 2009 7:44 am) Sorry, the owner's manual is missing. The previous owner told me that he did not have the manual when he got the car. He figure out everything himself.
#8318 of 8333 If you ... by vcheng Oct 26, 2009 (9:56 am)
... register as an owner at the Lexus website, I think you might be entitled to a free copy of the owner's manual for your car. Otherwise, I am sure eBay will turn something up. It may be a wise thing to do anyways. Replies to this message: mikez511 (Oct 27, 2009 6:24 am) acco20 (Oct 29, 2009 11:53 am)

Replying to: mikez511 (Oct 25, 2009 8:52 am) For what it's worth, the '04 LS430 Ultra-Lux has a row of three toggle switches, labeled (left to right): SPORT-NORM, HIGH-HEIGHT-NORM, and PWR-ECT-SNOW. If your LS doesn't have all those options, maybe Lexus just left a dummy switch there to fill the hole. I/O certainly is not a very informative label.
