i own 07 460 and i have the cel come on and was wondering how many times shoujld it click ive read anywhere from 1 time 3 times and even heard continously any help appreciated thanks in advance
I just replaced the original gas cap on my 2007 Lexus LS460, perhaps what I discovered may help. The original OEM part number was 77300-52040. It is a MULTI-CLICK cap, though the verbiage on the cap (or in the Owner's Manual) states nothing with regard to the number of clicks required. I would usually turn it until I felt/heard at least 3 clicks. The end of the tether that attaches to the fuel door has a hole in it so that it can be mounted around a post on the fuel door and is held down with a hex nut that also holds down the plastic fuel door latch.
That part is apparently no longer in production; in fact I could not even find a photograph of it anywhere on the Web. It has been superseded by part number 77300-06040. It is a SINGLE-CLICK cap and the verbiage on the cap states so: "TIGHTEN UNTIL 1 CLICK." After the single-click, the gas cap will not advance any further. (The cap also states 'no E15-E85, up to E10 gasoline only'.) The end of the tether that attaches to the fuel door has a small post on it that is designed to be 'poked into' a hole on the fuel door frame that will hold the post in place, a design as seen on most modern vehicles.
So, while the 77300-06040 cap itself is compatible with the fuel inlet of the 2007 Lexus LS460, its tether is not. So I snipped the entire tether off of the cap.
