Wait for the corner!

I can verify this, my Ls430 53 plate fogs front and rear only work with the main lights on, just tested it. As for a fuse, i would guess it is in the rear fuse box, in the boot near side under the carpet, not checked this as yet, going for a looksee now. Ok just had a look, no fuse in the boot fuse box, got cold so came indoors, i would have checked the other fuse boxes around the car but i can't get the car indoors where it's warm. Just drive the car into the house where you can check in a nice warm environment,other owners apparently do :) lexus in house.jpg Valet parking at it's very best. Dunno why they are protecting those alloys with the wood blocks, they have to be the ugliest alloys on any car, Lexus should be ashamed they used them on a nice car like the SC. They're creating a gap between the strap and the body panel, not protecting the alloys.

That's strange, it works for me. https://www.dropbox.com/s/6vp6nswfesctd4x/rfl-r.pdf Triedevery fuse in the car. Found some remains of a installed tow bar and the wiring has been chopped off on the rear. Think this has something to do with it, going to look closer. Yup been trying with engine running and all lights on with fogs on :(

Here is the wiring diagram! https://www.dropbox.com/s/6vp6nswfesctd4x/rfl-r.pdf Bulbs definitely working, tested manually and they lit up. Going to pull back the trim

Yes thats right!

Looked closely at all 4 compartments. 3 Interior and 1 under bonnet. Under the bonnet there is a fuse for Tail and that was perfectly fine, so I changed it anyway. There is a fuse for the front fog lights but absolutely nothing for the rear fogs Completely at a loss now, on top I cant pass the MOT if these aren't working! My numberplate lights are LEDs, I am going to change these back to normal at the far fetched attempt this is whats causing the issue. Highly unlikely though.

Which compartment is that set in for the LS400? may be similar!

Hi, I need some help with finding a fuse. My rear foglight doesnt work and the bulbs look okay. I want to check the fuse but as there are a million locations I just don't know where it is and I don't rally understand the shorthand on theback. Its an 04 ls430!

I imagine it would be extremely similar. On the other hand the starter motor job is alot harder on the easly ls400s. You can see where the waterpumo was leaking

After doing the starter motor not that long ago I realised that these cars are ridiculously easy to work on ( if you have the correct tool set ) It was a breeze and took around 4 hours of actual work. Doing it again I could shave off an hour! At 100k the belt looked great, the bearing looked acceptable and the waterpump had a leak on the bottom right. Everything factory. Some tips. 1. Threadlock when back together. 2. Use bulldog clips to hold down the timing belt when putting it on. 3. Keep the idler bearing loose on installing the timing belt, helps with room. 4. Don't be a ***** and buy cheap parts.

Sadly Japan just doesnt get it. Snobbery isn't in their culture, and they can't grasp the concept enough to understand that it will still be a failure here.

Also to add the costs: Contacts £14 O ring - £1 Bypass gaskets - £13

I see, feels nice saving £350 :D

I have a ramp in my warehouse. So when I get bored of doing work I pop down and do it. If you're new to this budget 6 hours. If you're used to this crap, budget 4 hours. If I was to do the job again I can have the manifold and starter out in 90 minutes.
