Electrical confusion

[GregK]

Had a similar problem a little while ago. Seemed to correct on its own. Now: After starting fine, non driver windows wouldn't work. Now auto locks won't work, remote beeps but won't lock; remote doesn't beep at all to unlock. alarm goes off when I start it (but it does start).  Fuse issue!

i am not a mechanic, or very savvy...

THANKS FOR ANY HELP

Disconnect the Battery for 10 minutes to reset everything?

Thanks for quick response!  My mechanic thinks I need to take it to a dealer to reset security (PCN?). But that may be worth a try.

Your mechanic may be right Greg, I don't have an LS430 so I don't know. However, I do repair computers for a living and when you hear the time-honoured phrase "Turn it off and back on again" it really does work most of the time, but you do have to remove all power completely for a few minutes so that any residual charge drains away and allows the fault condition to reset. I'd say it's got to be worth a try on the car.

Tools trapped in trunk for now, but I will try and will report back if it works.
