the battery went dead and now i cant get the car to start, it turns over just fine, but wont start, and the only thing that works when the key is on is the power windows, nothing else works,the dash guages and or lights dont work, the trunk release button does not work, the gas door release button does not work, the power seats do not work. i have all 3 keys, i cant even get the alarm to go off when its locked. is there some kind of security system that needs to be reset?? please help????

 

it probably needs to be reset...or some fuses are blown...try unplugging the battery for about 15-30 minutes, then plug it back in...if the systoms persists, then check all the fuses under the hood.

Good luck
Mike

 

replace the battery. the stock one is crap. a mechanic friend of mine says it is the root of all evil in the LS430

 

i have a good charge on the battery, and or if needed i use the jump box. i just dont get it the car was fine till i ran the battery dead, now it wont start??

 

Did you disconnect one of the battery cables before you put the charger on it?
Re: the fuse question in the other thread, I suggest buying the replacement fuse first, then you can compare and see what's supposed to come out with the old fuse. I haven't looked at them, but perhaps it's some unusual style that you haven't seen before and when you see the new one it'll make sense....

 

Open your fuse box in the engine bay and take a look at the larger fuses like the 80 amp or 100am. Many times when a battery is replaced arcing may occur and and fuse may go. If its not the larger ones check all the smaller ones. I cant imagine it being anythign else, i would just check all the fuses.
