Well... I was gone for about 15 days to the middle-east...
My car was barely driven during that time....
Maybe 10-15 km each day...
Anyways.... yesterday... I go to start the car and it wouldn't start...
When I try to turn on the car, the rpm idle and the speed idle flick on and off like crazy..... the same with the rest of the engine/traction/oil/etc etc lights... just flicking on and off fairly rapidly while making an annoying ticking sound!!!
I dunno what the problem is
Anyone got any idea what the problem is?
Is it an electrical problem? small or big problem?
Thanks for any input...

It sounds like an electrical problem, maybe widespread, Pheonix will be able to tell you probably exactly what it is. There is still hope

How old is the battery? How hot was the weather where the Lexus was at while you were gone? If the battery is more than a Year or two old and you travel a lot, maybe it needs a recharge.

It is definately the battery. I had the same problem twice since I bought my car. I couldn't make it out until I changed the battery and everything was normal. Also check for corrosion around the battery terminals.

I guess I'll use my bro's car to jump my car!!!
Hopefully it will work!
Thanks for the input fellas!!
Really appreciate it!
