Here's the final restoration and Lexus giveaway video! • I Fully Restored An Ab...
Many mechanics tried but no one could get this Lexus to start. It was abandoned and the owner was fed up and said if I can get it to start it I could keep it for free! I started down the path of diagnosis and figured it out with just a paper clip! There's a lot more to this series so I hope you enjoy this one and the videos to come on fixing everything else.

@aliabdallah102 3 жыл бұрын

I'm about 97% sure the car is just in "load shed" mode. The alternator isn't doing its job, the PCM is probably in a low voltage mode and is working with the SOLE priority of keeping the engine running, meaning it's probably not running power steering and forcing idle only, because all the power is going to powering the coils and the fuel injectors, and of course its greedy self. Happened to my c300 when the alternator died.

Awesome! Lexus time! Alex check the ALT fuse which is the main fuse possibly blown( can’t remove it it’s bolted down inside the fuse block) The throttle might be a ECTS fuse which is common to go when the battery dies. This engine is notorious for carbon build up on the intake which is likely on this one if it hasn’t been cleaned before. Good luck!

The mirror can get in the way, and if you're unlucky, the clear coat could stick in that gap between the door and the belt molding.

Ya’ll probably already know this troubleshooting hack, but just sharing. About 2 years ago, my 97 Honda civic beater was jacked and joyrided and left abandoned. The goofballs used a similar key that they jammed into the ignition switch to start it. Last month I was doing some errands and the car died on me while I was driving. AAA came over and towed it back home and their scanner said it was the alternator 3 times. The battery was good so I checked fuses and then towed it to a shop where they traced the fault back to the switch (that was a little loose from when it was taken). I was ready to have the alternator replaced so I was happy to have a sharp mechanic trace it back like you did👍.

The ECU-iG LH10 amp fuse is bad that controls the power steering the radio and different accessories in the car the fuse box for that particular one is underneath the driver side same place where the brake switch is.

To check alternator, unhook positive battery cable. If the car stays running, the alternator is good.

Hey Alex, I love the idea of fixing these cars up and giving them to someone in need👍 How about this - find something like this, fix it up, then offer to swap it with someone whose car is in need of some big repairs, then fix that one up and repeat. You would have a constant flow of cars to repair AND you would be helping folks out at the same time. Great constant content‼️

I had the same issue (brake switch) with my 1993 Lincoln a month or so ago. I just put in the “ON” position, shifted to N to start until I could get back home and fix it. I don’t recommend doin this at night though… no brake lights. 😂

@allenpiper1935 3 жыл бұрын

Probably a liability thing. Huge pain in the ass though, I had issues renting a car trailer bc the tow vehicle was a trailblazer and the towed vehicle was a 3rd gen 4runner and according to their website the size and power ratio of the tow to the towed wasn't adequate. All I had to haul that thing was like 15 minutes lol.

@TravisFabel 2 жыл бұрын

U-Haul specifically had some lawsuits for renting trailers that were unsuitable for the vehicles. So now everything runs through their computer, where you have to say what car is towing, and then If it's a car trailer you have to say what kind of car is going on it as well. If it's not approved by the computer system then they can't rent it to you. Of course this just means everybody in the know, lies to U-Haul about it so they have to look at the vehicle and make sure it matches the description. And that's where you had the discrepancy because the guy was expecting to see a massive F-250 sized vehicle (like a modern F-150) And instead sees this factory lowered single cab truck and assumes it's a mini truck.

i had a similar issue. I had a 1998 Ford explorer V8 eddie bower edition. called places to rent a trailer, all said no, based on the vehicle i have.. 5.0 L V8., and a sticker on a pillar saying i could tow... and a factory installed big tow recepticle too. nuts!

I’m a single dad that had to stop towing due to covid and ended up moving to Florida because my baby momma got engaged to a guy out here. I lived in chicago and ran Guicho’s Towing (you can google my business) which went out of business after covid hit due to my son being home full time. I was practically his teacher. Anyways... would be nice to be considered for the car. I still have family in Chicago and can come down to meet you for a video shoot. If not me, then no worries. Always loved your work and I liked the last car give away. It touched my heart. Keep doing good, cause we reap what we sow.

You should have gone to another Uhaul location. They are everywhere. Also always clean the mass airflow sensor after a car has been sitting. It clears up a lot of crank issues.
