Thumbs up 03 LX470 - Only headlights and horn work... Nothing else


I just purchased this Lexus "as is" project. Owner said the tow truck driver got her car going 6mo ago and moved it for her. It has sat ever since (new battery). Only the horn and headlights work. Nothing else. No dash lights, power windows, seats, radio etc... do not work. The key will not power locks. The car will not turn over or even click.

Trouble shooting suggestions appreciated.
-Bob

Have you checked every fuse? They are all over the place some under the hood and also inside the truck, left and right kick panels. Possible the truck was jump started backwards.

I finally heard from the mechanic. It was the inline fuse bar/box right on the positive cable. Whew!

So now the mechanic says everything is working except the main display (touchscreen to control AC, heating). Dang!
