My 91 LS400 did need to have the LCD replaced. It had 114,000 before I wrecked it.

My climate control LCD was replaced as part of the purchase deal, and the tach needle is half dead, which according to the previous owner occured about four years ago and has not changed since. Otherwise, all is well.

Default speedo needle died

I had the speedo needles die in my 1993 LS400 @ about 130k. Sewell Lexus in Dallas,TX wanted about $1200 to replace the entire assembly. I had Davenport Motor co replace the assembly and I believe it was somewhere between $6-800 dollars for the part & labor. Also for anyone in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex I highly reccomend Davenport motor co. They are an Independant Lexus shop... All their mechanics are Lexus certified... they have really nice facilites..they do good work and they are always cheaper that the dealer when it comes to parts and labor. Apparently they are making a dent in the local dealerships profits. Park Place Lexus here in Dallas made an offer to buy them out.

There is no specific mileage point. Different parts just have different running life expectenacies..you never know.

Mine are still fine on my 1990 LS with 162,000 miles.

1991 Lexus with 220,000 miles. The AC LCD is completely dead, still works fine to regulate temp, all bulbs still light up. The speedo needle is dim at the very end, about 1/4" only, all other needles are fine.

Thumbs down

Climate Control is VERY BAD! but haven't had a problem with the speedometer. Only thing is that the air bag light is on and I know nothing is bad with the air bag.

NY LS 400-1994 with 195,xxx miles. My dash all out quits sometimes, but I don't drive the car during the warm months so I'll get it fixed sometime later.

91 LS400 166,500 miles.... no display problems, nor any speedo/tach needle light problems. Perhaps it's because it's been garaged all it's life? So I've been lucky?
