Hi,

Could anyone out there help me? I have a 1998 GS300 SE and the other day the centre consol died, leaving me with no control over the climate, no stereo, no sat nav etc.

I have been to that the part is unfixable so need a new one, lexus have quoted me £3000 - £5000 for this which is rediculous.

I have been looking into salvage but there are not very many wrecked gs300's so the search is not going very well.

Is there anything else i can do?

Cheers

TRy e bay, there are a few on there being scrapped on there I have had a few parts myself over the last week,
You will not find any in scrap yards

What fuses have you checked? Sounds unlikely that the whole centre console would die as I don't think back in that year everything was combined into a single touch screen or anything (I could be wrong) I would suspect a fuse first. Maybe the "dome" fuse in the drivers footwell. Also the "cig" fuse may controls ome other functions. I would check first though before splashing cash on replacement satnavs etc.

Any news?
