Lexus ES300 won't start with no dash lights after refueling on Lexus ES300

Problem overview

Some Lexus ES300 owners report experiencing starting issues when there are no dash lights after refueling, often attributed to several potential causes. A dead battery is frequently cited as a common reason, as insufficient charge can prevent the electrical components from functioning, including the dash lights. Additionally, after changing the battery, some owners find that the security or immobilizer feature may disable the engine start, hindering the vehicle from starting. Starter problems, such as wear or faultiness, have also been reported, which can prevent the engine from cranking. Furthermore, electrical issues, including damaged fuses or relays, can lead to starting difficulties; for instance, a malfunctioning 120 amp fuse may stop the car from starting despite other systems working. Owners are advised to check these components and seek professional assistance if troubleshooting does not resolve the issue.
