Replying to: motiv8rnc (Jan 21, 2009 4:16 pm) alright, now i checked the battery and it has a full charge. i took the cover off the fuse box under the hood to the right of the battery and it smells like something burnt in there. i dont have my owners manual to show what fuses are what. anyone know where to find which fuse controls ingnition or something with starting the car. i would pull them out one by one but the car is outside and cant see anything. thanks Replies to this message: la4mead (Jan 21, 2009 5:08 pm)

Replying to: motiv8rnc (Jan 21, 2009 4:47 pm) I thought they were labelled on mine. But if you burned out a fuse or relay, you will find that in the same engine compartment fusebox. Bummer.   My manual is for an RX300. I doubt their in the same order (by number) but my owners manual shows one of the small 20 amp fuses "starting system" called "AM2" and a square 50 amp (relay, I'm pretty sure, but the manual lists it as a fuse) labelled "starting system" called "Main" in the engine compartment fuse box. Sniff those out, first. Good luck.   And careful with those jumper connections...

Replying to: motiv8rnc (Jan 21, 2009 3:48 pm) if it's not the battery, then the next culprit on the list would be the starter... Replies to this message: motiv8rnc (Jan 21, 2009 5:36 pm) tidester (Jan 21, 2009 7:50 pm) motiv8rnc (Jan 22, 2009 6:14 am)

Replying to: motiv8rnc (Jan 21, 2009 5:36 pm) Does your car have a security system? It may need to be reset after a battery discharge.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: motiv8rnc (Jan 22, 2009 6:14 am)
