I gotta say this channel keeps surprising me. Not only do you guys go way beyond what other channels would do for a "6K car challenge", you source used parts and if they don't work you fix them! So many other channels would just go buy a new part, its awesome to see you fix door and column motors. Between major engine work on the BMW and now your rebuilding a supercharger instead of buying new. This is great content.

In many cars you can swap the gauges from the cluster without swapping the circuit board. So by swapping the original circuit board to the jdm cluster (if possible in your specific cluster) the screen writing swould return back to English.

@nullcircuit 3 года назад

Yep people have already said the knob is for volume, the key button disables the smartkey system. It's intended to be used as like a "valet mode", but it also preserves the car battery if you aren't driving often by preventing the car from doing it's periodic pinging for the smart key.

@allanhope7018 3 года назад

The key button is indeed for the smart key. I had the same on my 2008 prius. A little tip, dont park the lexus close to a key for hours at a time with smart key on. If the key is close to the car, it will keep sending a ping to the key every 30 seconds and kill the car's battery. That's why i eventually turned the smart key off for my prius when i had it. It left me stranded at a cabin in the woods.

@pkm52000 3 года назад

For the steering telescope I had to replace a rubber like bung/stopper to get the telescopic movement functional again. So that stopper is used to push on/off against as the motor turns this threaded rod. Mine was completely disintegrated so I had next to no movement but could hear the motor turning, sounds like your rubber stopper is almost on its way out.

@5ajidkhan 3 года назад

Love the LS 👍...I used some special lithium grease from the Lexus dealer on the steering column gears which helped the motor run smooth and quiet and never had problems since. Overtime the grease disintegrates especially for this car since it’s from Florida, where’s there’s a lot of warm weather.

@1UZ-FE 3 года назад

There is a small bushing connected to the screw that the telescopic motor turns in order to move the steering column. This bushing commonly wears out and causes the screw to squeak and bind. The bushing is very cheap to get from the Lexus dealer. Replacing this bushing should fix the telescopic steering function.
