#25 of 34 Re: 98 LS 400 DASHBOARD NOT WORKING [geo123] by guerra228 Jun 28, 2008 (10:33 am)
Replying to: geo123 (May 29, 2007 7:58 am) Thanks for the great advice. I have a '93 LS 400 with 189k and had the same problem with my instrument cluster not lighting up. So i couldn't tell how fast i was going or how much gas i had left. I disconnected the negative lead to the battery and waited 30 minutes to let system reboot and BAM, turned on my sweet lexus and everything lit up like time square on new years eve.   Thanks again   Tony

Electrical problem 1993 Lexus LS 400 V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic   My dashboard lights flicker on and off constantly sometimes the dash goes completely black. Cant see anything and don't know how much gas I have and how fast I am going. Dash lights do not work on cold/damp mornings until the car warms up, Takes about 50 miles to drive in cold weather and 5-10 miles when it's warm. Dash lights never turn on until the temperature reaches good temperture. Also I have problem which my ODO, sometimes it's mixed up . Is there way to display correct ODO?? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks Replies to this message: gm1120 (Apr 27, 2009 8:42 pm) richard118 (Nov 02, 2009 3:07 pm)

Replying to: rolik (Apr 02, 2009 8:17 am) Had similar problem with my '94 Lexus LS400, but not with the ODO. My problem was when it's cold, the dashboard is completely black, but it flickers on sometimes when I've been running it for awhile. Ended up replacing the instrument cluster for $600. The guy that replaced it says it's a common problem. Replies to this message: richard118 (Nov 02, 2009 3:07 pm)

My dealership quoted me $275 to download the latest maps to my factory installed navigation system. This seams outrageously expensive...Does anyone know of any other cheaper options available? I'm not even sure of the make of the factory installed system. Thanks, David Replies to this message: rennybosch (May 24, 2009 2:11 pm)

Replying to: david050 (May 24, 2009 9:41 am) David, that's is not bad at all. Some years back my dealer quoted $495; I wound up buying the CD from Lexus-Parts.com for about $280 and installing it myself.

I noticed that my radio light doesn't come on. Is this the beginning of the end for the panel lights. If so, what is the process to repair? What's the normal cost, parts and labor....   Thanks,   Gwen Replies to this message: tonycd (May 26, 2009 1:20 pm) gwendolyn (May 26, 2009 1:39 pm)

Replying to: gwendolyn (May 26, 2009 12:45 pm) Probably not. In fact, the radio was probably supplied by a different vendor than the gauge cluster.   I'd suggest you go to Lexus owners' boards or eBay and look for a used radio pulled from an LS dash in favor of an aftermarket unit. If that doesn't work, consider a whole aftermarket in-dash radio -- it'd probably be cheaper than getting the radio from a dealer, and the new ones with today's technology are much better.

Replying to: tonycd (May 26, 2009 1:20 pm) so the radio itself controls the light...pls forgive me if this is an obvious question....LOL   Thanks,   Gwen

Replying to: gm1120 (Apr 27, 2009 8:42 pm) I have similar dash problem. How did you have it fixed for $600? Where? My dealer quoted me $1000 for the new board and $500 for installation. You got a great deal!
