Wont Start Ls 400

I think you are right about alarms and notice. BUT the lack of "alarm" also means no immobiliser and insurance consequences. Also, it might be pretty good to hear your own alarm before some :tsktsk: had it away. Hi Steve...Yes your right. would appreciate some advice as to the type of Alarm, and the best price....Cheers Roy. -

Hi, Thanks for the reply...The new alarm seems cheap enough, where did you get that done? and lastly your comments about who takes notice of alarms these days seems very appropriate...Cheers Roy. -

Hello every body...Right here we go......Regarding my inability to start the car...I eventually gave up the ghost, and with the kind assistance of the AA, I had it taken to tha Lexus Garage at Carlisle. Who rang me this morning and informed me that the EC unit had completely locked us out, and that due to the fact that this Scorpion 5000 alarm was now obsolete, that the only solution was to completely disconect the imobilizer and bypass it...This was the cheap option, the other was to install a new alarm.....So for the time being I have had it disconected, until I can afford a new alarm, but at least I am back on the road.....and that leads me to all the good people who tried very hard to help....Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, a million times....All the very best Roy. -

Hello again, Yes its as you described, and yes I have made sure that the slide switch is in the right position. I have searched Scorpion, but again to no avail.....It looks like im into a huge expence of replacing the alarm ( never mind ). Maybe I can get someone to disconect the old Scorpion. and leave it without, Ill have to make some enquiries, in the mean time thanks to you all for your efforts.....I will let you know how I get on...Cheers Roy. -

Hello, Thanks for your reply....Yes I have tried that.....because the fob is no longer working since the trouble began, the only way that I could lock or unlock is with the key...Thanks. -

Hi royzels Since we spoke, it did occur to me had you fully charged the battery before refitting? Further, did you close the bonnet after going through the procedure and BEFORE pressing the button to lock? If, not, that could explain the lack of success. Please let me know how you get on. Hi, I tried using the start procedure ie diconecting the earth etc, numerous times, but still no success. I enventually called out the AA, who tried several procedures, including the one that has been advised by yourselfs,( my battery was attached to their vehicle battery) but again with no success, and I was advised to contact Lexus.. I dont want to incur huge expence as I am a pensioner, but I dont know what else to try......Any further help would be appreciated....Roy -

Hello all.....Help....I just went out to my ls 400 1995, and the battery was flat. I disconected the battery and charged it. I then reconected the battery, but the car would not start, the dashboard lights going out when switching the ignition start on. I noticed the the red security light was on.....How do I cancell it....Any ideas please. Thank you Roy

Indeed you are not barmy. How the hell do I go about buying them? In order to register on Ebay.com a valid US address is required which may be cheaper to arrange than the postage! Hi Im a regular Ebay user and I have had various stuff from the USA without any problems, and I normaly pay through Paypal....Dont see the problem...Roy. I too am a regular Ebay user and have had stuff from the States BUT the items were listed on .co.uk. A soon as I tried to register on .com with a UK address, it automatically changes to .co.uk and Ebay confirmed this to me in an email the other day after I asked them. I thought it was my email address that was triggering the switch to .co.uk so I tried it again with 1 of my Googlemail addresses, it liked that but not my physical address. I wonder if Ebay have recently put this in place. Hi, Look on Ebay there are a set of clear lenses on at the moment...Item number 220567850932...hope they are what you are looking for....cheers Roy.
