Well
I have done it again, only 4 months since selling my last LS400 I have bit the bullet and bought a cheap one with need of a bit of fettling.
The guy I bought it off, is emigrating, so needs it gone, so £300 later I have bought it.
Car starts, and runs ok.
Will go into gear if you press the overdrive.
But it seems like there is a very general electical fault.
No lights, no wipers, no power steering.
Dash lights don't come on either, but I have repaired the dashes in my last two LS400's so wonder if that is related.
Seems to me that there could either be an issue related to the dash going down, or, its an ECU, wiring or common feed problem. E.g. there is a lost earth somewhere
So, if anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate a pointer...either that my multimeter my need a new battery with overuse
