Hi, can anyone help? There is a connector that has come loose, this means that there are a number of warning lights displayed, hybrid system malfunction, no ABS, no collision system and the electronic hand break cannot be selected. I have a picture of the connector but cannot locate where it goes. The picture is on the drivers side (RH Drive), near the knee air bag.

 

That would be an add a fuse to power something aftermarket like a dash cam for instance. It should plug into your fuse box. You just have to figure out which fuse location it plugs into.

 

@mikebaisi - I'm guessing you might have an aftermarket dash camera installed in your car.

The cable with a forked fuse connector and a twin fuse block for the two 10 amp fuses is a fused power tap that was likely included, or maybe purchased separately, for adding and powering aftermarket equipment, such as a dash camera.

This is the fuse tap you see dangling.


You'll need to look around for your RHD fuse block to try to determine where this forked fuse connector 'tap' was once plugged-in (connected). I'm guessing one of the 10 amp fuses protects the aftermarket load (e.g. dash camera) and the other 10 amp fuse protects the original load(s) on that circuit - - or if you have two cameras (i.e. front and rear) the twin fuses may protect both.

The fuse slot on your car's fuse block that is lacking an installed fuse (i.e. empty) is probably where the forked fuse connector 'tap' was once was plugged-in.

I hope this information helps you!

Good luck with it!

 

Wouldn't he need to check the Fuse section in the book and see what fuse number position is for - "hybrid system malfunction, no ABS, no collision system and the electronic hand brake"?

That's a piggy back connect that allows for Tap in of a additional power unit of something like you said.

 

Assuming whoever installed it used the same fuse that was in the slot (meaning a 10 amp fuses slot), my guess is it was fuse 17. But look at the other 10 amp fuses listed here, for the driver side fuse box

If it is that, I'd definitely use a less critical fuse. Some of those add-a-circuit fuse taps are crappy and don't stay in snuggly, and you get problems like this. You don't want your ABS and other systems to randomly stop working while you're driving

 

With the OP's car being a Right-Hand Drive model I don't know how Lexus positions the interior fuse box locations. I suspect that some ECU and module locations, and some of the many sensors might dictate that their respective wiring harnesses be located in a different place in the car compared to a LHD model - and if so - their related protective fuse box locations might be placed (and even configured with different fuse numbers and fuse amperages) quite differently from that of a LHD model. Dunno!

 

Geeze, I missed that part about it being RH drive.

It's weird that the site doesn't designate LH from RH for the hybrid like they do the regular GS350.

Here what the site mentions for the Hybrid (no designation if LHD or RHD):



Here is the regular GS350, left side for LHD (aka, the side with the steering wheel):

And here is the LHD right side (the side with the glovebox):


Here is the RHD right side (the side with steering wheel):


Here is the RHD left side (the side with the glovebox):


Looking at the Hybrid fuses, they match up more with the LHD, left side of the regular GS. Things that are Hybrid specific are just not populated ("no circuit"). So being a RHD Hybrid, it would seem using the "regular" fuse list for the RHD would adequate. Meaning it's likely fuse 10 or 11 of the right hand side box.
