#1191 of 1194 2002 SC430...Haunted? by dchuka Aug 12, 2009 (5:17 am)
This is the scenario that occurred this morning: My daughter took my SC out this morning, putting the top up after she pulled out of the garage. As she came to the stop sign about a block from home, she stepped on the brake and the car completely shut off. She put it in park, turned the key and it started no problem. She turned the car around to bring it back home and every time she hit the brake, the car turned off.   I drove the car last night and it was fine. The car has approximately 47,000 miles on it. Anybody have any suggestion as to what it might be for when I get home tonight?   Thanks in advance.   Doug Replies to this message: rcraft (Aug 15, 2009 9:08 am)

Replying to: dchuka (Aug 12, 2009 5:17 am) Since you've driven since, and it's fine ... I'd suggest that a "top position sensor switch" might have been involved. Since you indicated that she put the top up, did it ever do anything like this with the top down? Has it done it before or since? A transitory, non-repeating problem isn't so bad ... if it shows up intermittently, much more of a problem. If it doesn't happen again, I wouldn't worry too much. All modern cars are FULL of electronic sensors. Not unlike your home computer ... a "control, alt, delete" exercise is good for them. My wife''s SC430 probably has as many as my RX Hybrid ... good case for extended warranty IMHO.
#1193 of 1194 Noise coming from dashboard by tampadan Sep 02, 2009 (11:21 am)
I am hearing an intermittent noise coming from the proximity of the tachometer. It sounds like a spooling noise that I would hear from a worn out speedometer cable. The problem is that I hear it while the engine is running and I am in PARK. I am baffled. I highly doubt there is anything mechanical that runs to the tach. Any ideas?
#1194 of 1194 Does a Lexus SC 430 have an automatic light shut off timer feature ? by dustdemon Oct 15, 2009 (8:08 am)
This is in regards to something I have been looking for, my Dr has a 2003 Lexus SC 430 convertible. Does it have a timer on the headlights that will automatically turn off the headlights after say 1 minute. Cadillacs & other cars have this feature, it gives the person time to say get in their homes, or somewhere else without being left in the dark. I have searched through the owners manual & have not found anything about this.
