Hey fam I posted a video below. Ive recently had a plethora of things happen to my is250! I lost my key and went to reprogram it using a paperclip like George Melnik suggested and I got the car to try to start and the it started to choke haard. It took 3x to get it to run but the headlights and fog lights started to flicker and the steering kept fighting me 😂? I’ve noticed when I first put the car in acc mode the cluster showed diag vsc 94 and the car died so I added my jumper cables to it with my other vehicle and put it back on acc and this time it said diag vsc 43... I’m trying to understand what that means. Im going to attempt to do it again tomorrow morning bright and early. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong. Pls! Thanks in advance

So guys I just got finished putting my alternator and I had to jump my car to get it running. The alternator port and wire are connected and snugged. This is my issue now as the car cut off when it’s idling and steering the steering wheel. Can anyone help a brother out and tell me what is wrong? As always thanks in advance for the help!

What does your alternator show at idle? It should be ~14v. When the car is off the battery should be 12.4v+. It might need a new battery. First though scan for any codes and let us know if anything comes up.
