Remote Central Locking Prob

[Paul is]

Hi all,iv a strange prob with my 2000 lexus is200 s,

it all started this morn,i went out as usual started car with heating on to warm up,made coffee and sandwich for work as every day,went out to car and was smell of burn,thought was heating so turned it off,went to work,parked but couldnt lock it with remote,noting from it at all

when got home from work checked fuses and by the passenger door the 7.5amp fuse for dome was gone,this is where gets very strange,put in new fuse and my heating turned on along with oil light,airbag light,etc, and even fuel gauge rose as if ignition was on,but the keys were in my pocket.

i dont know whats wrong with it,oh ya the interior light wont work with doors open now either,only will work when ignition is on

any help at all would be great and thanks in advance

its all sorted now,replaced fuse but dash lights still on without key,so got key started car,left it running for 5mins,knocked it off and no ignition lights,got out pressed lock and it worked,working perfect since so happy out :)

check the fuse boxes, especially the drivers side footwell for water. This can cause all sorts of problems. Been discussed here many times before, do a search in the IS200 forum section.
