#1 of 17 Lexus LX 470 strange sounds by steve_ HOST Oct 28, 2006 (9:33 am)

#2 of 17 Loud high pitched tone sounding by houdini1 Aug 02, 2006 (9:35 am)
Today while driving this piercing, high pitched, tone started inside the vehicle. This lasted about an hour until I got home. I made several stops but the tone always came back when I turned the ingition to the start position. This happened once before about a year ago and the sound stopped after about an hour. It is very, very loud and piercing and distracting. No lights flash on come on etc.   Anyone have any ideas what this could be?

Replying to: houdini1 (Aug 02, 2006 9:35 am) Have you figured anything out on this. I had the exact same trouble yesterday (8/28/2006); I disconnected the battery last night in an attempt to "reset" the system. But, not sure if it helped or if it's part of a bigger proboem.

Replying to: bbutler33 (Aug 29, 2006 6:13 am) Sorry I did not answer sooner. I just don't check this board that often. I had to have the junction box replaced. Supposed to be about a $900. item incl. labor but Lexus did it for free. I was out of warranty by about 3 months. I did not think of "re-booting" like you did. I hope it works for you.

Replying to: bbutler33 (Aug 29, 2006 6:13 am) Did disconnecting your battery work for you?   Mine just starting doing this same exact tone yesterday.   Thanks.

Replying to: steve_ (Oct 28, 2006 9:33 am) Yesterday, the Loud high pitched tone sounding started in my vehicle and will not stop. I haven't tried disconnecting the battery yet, but I did call the dealership, who told me the junction box need replacing at the tune of $1200!!!
#8 of 17 Roof Rack by luckylou Nov 24, 2006 (2:06 am)
Sorry I am late reading this post. I had a similar sound , only when i was going over 30 mph. One time when a friend was riding me with he also heard a loud noise, he said pull over I know how to fix it . The roof rack has small turn wheels to tighten the bars but were loose and both horizontal bars were make a hell of a sound, once we squeeze them tight loud sound was gone. I hope I was of some help.   Lou
