A lady-friend of mine has a mid-to-late 90s Lexus GS300, (I think that is the model: 6-cyl. RWD), that was exhibiting strange behavior. She took it to the dealer, who informed her that a rodent had been dining on the main cable runs between the transmission and the engine. (Perhaps the engine control computer. I got this all second-hand, over the phone, while she was driving.... Yeah, I know, stereotypical female Lexus owner). The Lexus dealer will replace the cable for $4,000 plus $1,400 in labor. I guess it must be made with gold wire.  She then took it to an independent shop that works on Lexus and asked if the cable could be repaired. They suggested that she try an "electrical shop", but that there may be a risk of damaging the tranny. She is located in the Seattle-Tacoma area, so there should be lots of "resources" available to her. Thoughts, ideas, suggestions? James

Replying to: oregonboy (Sep 19, 2008 2:26 pm) Another issue is electrical fire and the liabilities that go with that. So the dealer is playing it safe by repairing the entire subharness, from one connector to the next. This is no doubt a tedious job in itself and I would imagine the harness is not cheap and must be special ordered. You can shop it around but be careful what you wish for, you may get it. |

| HAVE AN 01 CREW CAB TRUCK 6.0 ENGINE IT MISSES AND STALLS AND IS HARD TO START WHEN IT DOES THIS (sorry about the caps) the temp guage goes crazy from 0 to 260 the truck has never over heated have put a new ignition switch have put in new crank and cam sensor it still won't run and keeps going dead. It has new wires and plugs and we put a new fuel pump in it in March of this year so I don't think it is that. Please hope someone can give me some help have had it on a scanner and it shows no codes that will not help thanks again sam 110 | |
2000 Nissan Quest . My driver side headlight isn't working. IT'S NOT THE LAMP/BULB. I've checked the underhood relays and all the fuses. The high beams work, but I've noticed that when I move the switch stem around, there's a crackling sound coming from behind the CD changer (near the floorboard behind the middle of the dash). Anybody familiar with this? Is it more likely the high beam switch or whatever's making the noise in the dash? Thanks!!

Replying to: email4kh (Oct 22, 2008 1:26 pm) You might try www.nissanhelp.com, sometimes they have downloadable manuals. If you can find a set of electrical schematics in electronic format, I'll help you with the trouble shooting if you need/want.

I have had problems with the interior lights flashing, then I couldn't turn them off, so I took out all the bulbs so my battery wouldn't be drained. Yesterday I was driving and all of a sudden lost power, including my steering. I coasted to the side of the road. My headlights and dashboard still worked. (I do have plenty of gas in tank.) I waited a minute or so, then restarted the car. I drove it home but now I don't know what to do. Why would the car lose power while driving? This is the worst piece of crap car I have ever owned!
