recommended parts and location for starter problems
What is your question?
I have a 1995 Lexus LS400 that will start in park and in neutral which is normal, However, when i try to shift into reverse the starter re-energizes and will not stop unless you shift out of reverse. Any ideas what could be happening here and if you know can you point me to a drawing showing where I need to go to get started fixing this.
I have been told to find the Neutral Safety Switch and 12V brake line because they may be shorting out...I do keep blowing rear brake lights.
I have been told to check the starter relay and the starter solenoid but I can't locate either to check.
Any pictures, schematics, 1st grade instructions for repairs(Im a Mustang GT chic and know very little about Toyotas and Lexus'), etc. I am trying to get this car ready to sell and I don't want to sell it like this so any little piece of info will be appreciated!!!
What makes this problem better or worse?
nothing, it is the same cold and hot
How long has your 1995 Lexus LS400 had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 1995 Lexus LS400. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Yes, there must be some kind of wire shorted that is causing the neutral switch to direct the ignition switch or starter circuit to engage. Short of acquiring a wiring diagram and testing each circuit in it's entirety, I wouldn't know what to "guess" at. The testing will just have to be performed.
