So you have fried wiring which goes to the fuses you mentioned, I would not be surprised if after fixing that it will blow more fuses as the circuit connects further. But on the positive side you at least know which harness is fried... could be worse, when ECUs themselves are fired it may be more difficult. 

oh no . . . .not what i was hoping to hear. . . this could be an endless task and fit for the scrappy!!

thanks for reply

Combination fuse > all the fuses > all the wiring > all the ECUs - roughly in that sort of sequence. 

Now on positive side - most likely one of the fuses have blown and protected ECUs/wiring and you just need to find which one, but that is about 50/50% chance when the Battery itself was shorted. Because when you short something "down the wire", you will short only one particular part e.g. if you short headlights wire, then the damage will be just to headlight wiring and most likely just going to blow headlights fuse. But when you short the main Battery terminals, you basically short ALL the systems at once, so instead of say having one 10, 15, 20 or 30A fuse, you may have 1000A combined across few dozens of fuses and something may burn before the fuses pop. So positive 50% - you will fine few blown fuses, negative 50% you burned something and now it will be needle in the haystack (quite literally) to find what it was.

Could well be beyond revival... I was working on IS250 which I suspect was jumped incorrectly for over a year and still trying catch last of the buggers out of it. Trust me - shorting Lexus is definitely the last thing you want to do. It would be less painful to pour petrol over it and set it on fire - at least the damage would be visible.   

very optimistic 🙂

I honestly wish that to be enough.

Hi all, just an update on the above.

So i found 3 blown fuses :  20 amp ECU -01 , 15 amp  ETCS and 20 amp EFI.

after replacing these 3 and reconnecting the Battery i put key in the ignition and turned it  . . car began to turn over but then stopped! 

after checking the fuses again it was the same 3 blown.

After disconnecting Battery and replacing the the fuses once i connected the Battery again the same fuses immediately popped again!!

im at a loss as to do what i do next.

Again any help/advice/observations would be very welcome.

regards

Derek

Hi all,

I have had my is200 in storage the last few years tho regularly start it up to keep it ticking over.

On Saturday I replaced the Battery and during the process I accidently shorted my socket set across the positive terminal. (yes I'm an idiot!!! )

Car wont start and hazards stay on. looking for a bit of direction/help as to where I go from here to get her turning over again.

any help / advise would be greatly appreciated

Best Regards

Derek

Hi all,

just thought id share this with ye, went into my local Halfords store today as i looking at getting a double din unit to replace the standard CD/Radio anyway seen this sony one i liked so asked the lad at counter how much it would cost for them to install it,told him what car i had and his response was "Ah Jaysus not going near that,thats far too messy". . . . .

Anyway does anyone know of a place that would supply and fit a unit in dublin or surrounding areas.Was thinking i might try do it myself but im sure il end up doing it wrong!! Any advice/help would be welcomed.

Had same problem with all 4 of my tyres was told it was due to the state of my alloys which were in bits.Got my alloys completely refurbed last week and pumped the tyres,havent had a problem as of yet but going to get new tyres just in case!!!

car looks great mate ,love the colour!!!

Thanks for the advice lads,probably pick it up friday and try fit it saturday,i will let you know how i get on

Hi all,came across a centre arm rest out of a 03 IS at scrapyard the other day,just wondering if it possible to put this into my manual 00 IS sport and if much work is involved.

any help/advice/abuse :winky: would be appreicated

The grom should have come with a Y connector, basically you unplug one of the cables out of the back of the stereo and use the Y to connect everything up.

Thanks very much Parthiban for the advice B)

hi all, i am in the middle of installing the grom ipod adapter but have run into a small problem,the two connecter blocks at the back of my radio are in use(i dont have an external cd changer)so im kind of at a dead end,have been looking through a few old posts but cant seem to find anything, any help would be very welcome

many thanks
