WOW, Can't belive no one has ask or stated this yet . Ramdom No start issue, g
What is your question?
I'm warmer days it seems to be worse than cooler days you get in step on the brake and push the push start button it goes to his little series of checks or whatever and tries and tries to start the car all you hear is a click the click is not coming from the starter solenoid it makes it to the starter relay in the fuse box by the battery and stops that's where the signal stops that's a problem many of Lexus owners who have dealt with I think I'm dealing with well I know I'm dealing with that but I'm also dealing with another situation now AZ I got a nose completely no start issue after four or five tries the first issue it will usually start but now it won't start at all I just drains the battery down so I recharge the battery load tested it good and put it in there and I just got to click click will make it to the solenoid but not getting any power pass the solenoid so I'm to assume the solenoid is bad I'm not finding anybody selling them separately and how do you get that starter out of
How long have you had this problem? 6-8 mo.
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2008 Lexus GS460. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
The problem you are experiencing -- when you know the battery is good and fully charged -- is likely due to cabling of the battery to the under hood components, or possibly a starter that requires too much amperage to crank over. A test will need to be performed to check this out.
Hi,
Thank you for your reply. Since posting problem has gone from a ramdom no start to a complete no start. But I'm kinda thinking might have 2 seperated issues here. Or maybe exactly what you said . the starter was requiring too much amps to turn over and that was overloading the system and giving me the random no start . I have tested the battery and the battery is testing out good. It charges up to almost 15.3 volts. it recovers from a load test real nice.
I'm getting the constant 12 volts to the starter solenoid. when you push the start button and it clicks the solenoid at that point I'm not getting anything off of the heavy power wire comes from the solenoid to the starter . so maybe it was the starter solenoid on its way out. That was giving me the ramdom no start.now it's completely bad ... ?? I have read were people have said that the electrical plug for the solinoid comes loose. but I have yet to get to get my hand up top of the solenoid. where I can feel the wire harness connection to the hard steel plate power tab that connects to the solenoid . I'm kind of a big guy and my fingers won't fit up top to wear ot plugs into the wiring harness plugs into the starter solenoid .I've been looking into seeing if you can buy the solenoid separately by itself without the starter and I mean instead of the starter and solenoid just the cylinoid and I think I might have found it at a Lexus dealership and then my next question doesn't it Lexus dealership was does the exhaust manifold have to come off to get the cylinoid out and can the cylinoid be separated from the starter and removed by itself and the starter stay pretty much in place
