i have a 1990 Ls400 with the usual dark clock/temp screen problem,but also the control panel inself keeps cutting in and out(sometimes for a few minutes,sometimes for a split second).

i thought/was told by a Lexus man it might be the aircon gas,so i had it re-gassed but the problem still plagues me,when the control panel is on everything works fine(incl the aircon and heated rear screen),its now causing problems with the car steaming-up badly and its getting cold the leave the window open!.

any ideas(Lexus have not had this problem before!)

Hi,

Sounds like its more of a electrical fault with your control panel.

ok,thank alot,this is the first real problem i,ve had(apart from a water pump replacment).

its been an excellent car for six years.

i,ve foun,d a second control panel for 50 pound and may take a chance with that(the LCD is dark but whos is,nt?

swift salvage only had dark lcd screens,as we all have.

chris vince has a good write-up and its 180 pound for new better spec LCD.

I don,t think you will find any mark 1,s with a clear screen(unless they have been repaired)in a scrap yard.

Kingkens,

Further to your post I think it right to mention, in order to save other members all of the hassle of returning a hopefully unsoldered LCD for a doubtful refund, that the LCD’s you mention for $122 are most probably American spec ones i.e. for left hand drive cars.

This means that the clock / temperature readouts are on opposite sides compared to UK spec right hand drive cars, also adjacent to the temperature display is the max cold / hot display, fitting the wrong spec LCD will confuse the PCB and electronics resulting in an incorrect display most if not all of the time.

As with most Lexus parts very little is straight forward and great care needs to be taken selecting after market replacement parts.

Regards,

Chris Vince
