1. Turn the ignition switch off and remove the auxiliary box.
Determine which fuse may be causing the problem. The auxiliary box shows
the name of the circuit for each fuse.

2. Make sure the inoperative component is turned off. Pull the suspected
fuse straight out with the pull±out tool and check it. If it has blown, \
push
a new fuse into the clips.
64L014

Good
Blown a. Look carefully at the fuse. If the thin wire is broken, the fuse has blown.\
If you are not sure or if it is too dark to see, try replacing the suspe\
cted fuse
with one of the same value that you know is good.
b. Only
install a fuse with the amperage rating designated on the fuse box lid.
If you do not have a spare fuse, in an emergency you can pull out the ºRAD
NO.1º, ºRAD NO.2º or ºPWR OUTLETº fuse, which may be dispensable
for normal driving, and use it if its amperage rating is the same.
If you cannot use one of the same amperage, use one lower than, but as clo\
se
as possible to, the amperage. If the amperage is lower than that specifie\
d, the
fuse might blow out again but this does not indicate anything wrong. Be\
sure
to get the correct fuse as soon as possible and return the substitute to\
its
original clips.
It is a good idea to purchase a set of spare fuses and keep them in your vehicle
for emergencies.
If the new fuse immediately blows out, there is a problem with the elect\
rical
system. Have your Lexus dealer correct it as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Never use a fuse with a higher amperage rating, or any other
object, in place of a fuse. This may cause extensive damage
and possibly a fire.
