  1. This also happens in my 2000 GS400. I just try to equalize the pressure with a front window on the opposite side. Cheers, Doc
  2. What was the final diagnosis/repair for your problem? Doc Rings
  3. Well, here's the scoop: After having the car towed to Kearney Mesa Lexus in San Diego (tow truck at the house within 30 minutes of calling Lexus roadside service.), it was fixed by noon the next day. The ignition switch connector came loose, killing all those switched electricals (good call, Mike!!!!). They swapped out a new connector, and covered it under warranty. The nice thing was that the car was such a newly certified car that they it wasn't in the Lexus certified database, but were willing to cover the repair even though it was outside the original 4 year warranty. Nice! Of course once I told them it was a new certified purchase, they seemed to like that! There were a couple of greasy mechanic prints on the leather armrest, but they cleaned them up quickly when we pointed them out to them at pickup. All is well with the world again, and hat's off to Kearney Mesa Lexus, Lexus Roadside assistance and Certified Car warranties!!!!! Doc Rings
  4. While driving tonight, my 2000 GS400 90% of all the electricals just instantaneously DIED. The motor/throttle continued to run, but nothing electrical worked except hazard flashers and reading lights. No dash, no turn signals, no NAV, no climate control, no stereo, no door locks, no windows (boy was that hot!). I couldn't tell if the headlights were functioning in Auto mode (one hour before sunset.) After driving home, the tranny was electrically locked out from reverse or park, but it restarted in neutral after briefly shutting it off. Upon restart in a few seconds, electricals were still all dead. After it sat for a few hours, it restarted and all electricals ran for about 10 seconds before completely shutting down again. The 1-800-25LEXUS raodside service is now on their way to tow the thing away to the local Lexus dealer... any ideas on what happened? I've only owned the car for two weeks, but I know these gremlins can occur at any time. I would be crying if I had bought it from a private owner without warranty!!!! Doc Rings San Diego, CA
