  1. I have a LEXUS LC 500 CONVERTIBLE that when the wind deflector is installed the rear view through the rear view mirror is almost zero. Any remedies for this
  2. Thanks! My daughter just bought this used so it’s concerning.
  3. Open the hood and locate the rear of the front side marker/corner lamp assembly next to the headlight. Turn the bulb socket about 1/4 turn counterclockwise and pull it out of the housing. Remove the old bulb from the socket, install the new bulb, then reinstall the socket and turn it clockwise to lock it in place. You generally do not need to remove the lens from the fender. If there isn't enough room to reach the socket: Remove the corner lamp assembly. Remove the retaining screw(s) at the top of the lamp. Carefully slide the lamp assembly forward. Twist the bulb socket counterclockwise and remove it. Replace the bulb and reassemble. A few tips: Avoid touching the glass of the new bulb with bare fingers if it is an incandescent bulb. Check the socket for corrosion if the old bulb has been out for a while. Test the lamp before fully reinstalling the assembly.
  4. On the 2024 NX350, the climate control display is integrated into the Lexus Interface system and can't be completely turned off or removed from the screen. If you're seeing the expanded climate menu, pressing Home, Map, Audio, or another app will usually minimize it, but the basic climate status bar remains visible by design.
  5. From the photo and description, the component shown appears to be the power steering pump area on the driver's side front of the 1UR-FE V8. The oily residue looks like it has been thrown outward by a rotating pulley or belt, which is why it appears splattered rather than simply dripping. Most likely causes, in order of likelihood: Power steering pump seepage The GX460 is known to develop leaks from the pump shaft seal or pump body O-rings as mileage increases. Fluid leaks onto the pulley and serpentine belt, which then slings it around the engine bay. Check the power steering fluid reservoir level and look for wetness behind the pulley. Power steering pressure or return hose leak A small seep at a hose crimp or fitting can spray fluid when the steering wheel is turned. Look for damp hoses above or behind the pump. Engine oil from the timing cover or valve cover The 4.6L V8 can develop timing cover seepage. Oil can migrate down and get picked up by the belt. Check higher up with a flashlight for fresh oil trails. Water pump leak (less likely from this image) Water pumps commonly fail around this mileage range. Typically leaves pink coolant residue rather than oily splatter. Check for dried pink crust around the pump weep hole. Quick checks for the ownerIs the fluid oily or watery? What color is it? Red/amber → power steering fluid. Brown/black → engine oil. Pink → Toyota coolant. Check the power steering reservoir level. Inspect the backside of the pulley and belt for fresh wet fluid. Clean the area with brake cleaner, drive for a day or two, then recheck to see where fresh fluid first appears. My money is on a minor power steering pump or power steering hose leak that is getting flung by the belt. The fact that you specifically mention the "lowest accessory on the driver's side that is belt driven" points right at that area. At 81,000 miles, that's much more common than a major engine oil leak. Has the power steering fluid level dropped at all, and is the residue oily (slick between fingers) or does it look like pink coolant? That answer would narrow it down considerably.
