I blew the ign and inj fuses whilst jump starting the car. I replaced the fuses and it starts fine but the steering column does not move into its set position when I put the ignition key in and the steering is heavy. The dashboard warning lights do not flash up when the ignition key is turned. I think another fuse must have blown but I checked all the fuses in the boot, drivers side and under the bonnet. Can anyone help to identify what component has failed! thanks Keith

Bob, Thanks for taking the trouble and funding this US option! Fortunately Lexus Edinburgh have been in touch to say they can get a reflector for me. It will cost £25 but I will go for it. cheers, Keith

Hi Bob, Thanks for your post. Before I posted my query I read through all the previous posts on this topic; there were quite a few! Hence I was aware of the potential tracker problem. I do not know if my car has one, however, I bought a new 750MA battery soon after buying the car and since my last post bought a CTEK MX5 5.0 battery charger so I could effectively properly recharge my new beast of a battery. I am now monitoring the current drain and voltage across the battery terminals without using the car so I can effectively see how many days the car can be left before the battery cannot turn over the starter motor. If it is greater than a week that would be ok as the car was bought for summer weekend use or for holidays where it would be in daily use. When sitting at home in the garage I would just leave the charger connected and it would trickle charge the battery. Thanks for your advice re battery alarm back up, I will check this out. As far as the reflector is concerned I have already trawled through eBay without success. I have recently been in touch with my nearest Lexus dealer to see if they could procure one for me. Cheers.

Hi all, had my gold 2004 sc430 now for 3 months. What a great car. I love the fact that it is rarely seen on the roads and is a real head turner especially with the top down. I have suffered from excessive battery drain which I see is a common problem but will investigate and see if improvements can be made. After a weeks holiday in Wales I returned home to find that one of the front reflectors had fallen off. I have searched eBay, etc to find a replacement but have failed. Can anyone help me out? Thanks, Keith
