    Hello, my car is a 1991 Lexus 400ls. The fuel pump failed and now after it was replaced, the electricity went out from the fuel wires and the electrical wires for the spark plugs. Can you help me if you have any information?

      is it flashing with no pauses? if it is flashing with no pause it does not detect an engine fault code i believe. did you try to search your symptoms up on google? read some forums on it and you might find your problem

      @@sexus400 all my power windows work intermittently, when one works they all do. usually once I crank it up they’ll work but after a while they all stop, no noise or anything coming from the regulator and I’ve been thru about 3 window switches. I have some issues with my gauge cluster aswell not sure if that’s related but I doubt it.
      any ideas ? I thought damaged wires but I chased the harness all the way around

    • @sexus400
      @sexus400  6 місяців тому

      grounding problem somewhere would be my guess. common problem especially for those gauge clusters. usually have to send them in somewhere to get fixed. I wouldn't be surprised if it is a similar problem with the windows but im not sure. these cars are too old to get any other codes or anything like that besides engine and transmission. idek if new cars would tell the problem on stuff like that haha

      no I never did. car never ran weird so I just left it. I plan on fixing it this winter tho. I think it was a vacuum modulator or something. I cant remember what it was called.
