I was chatting with an LS400 owner last night, and he was saying that his dash won't light up until it is warm.

I haven't read of Celsiors getting the Soarer blinky dash problem, is the LS400 dash different?

Would the fix be similar to the Soarer fix?

Its all here mate,


Have a read. Takes a while, there is a bit of junk in it to filter through but all the info if there.

If the needles on the speedo and tacho are blinky and not lighting up, it is due to the special paint they put on the needles to illuminate. There isnt a DIY for this yet. There is companys out there that can do it so it can be done just not sure how lol.

But if the other dash lights are blinky its just leaking caps. Read it up Cheap fix.

woops i forgot to post the link

and for the record, the american ls400 dash is slightly differant to the aussie (just apperance wise tho all interal components are the same) but the aussie ls400 and jap celsior have the exactly the same dash (aussie version might say, premium unleaded only somewhere near the fuel gauge) but that would be the only differance.

Sorry to hijack, but the knob that controls the illumination, I think it is, doesn't work. Is it easy to fix?

Andrew,

I would say yes easy to fix. First you need to suss out if its the switch itself. But they are a pretty generic part. Could be swaped with one from any car that runs on 12volts which is anycar really as its been the standard for decades. Go steal one from your local wreakers from a approx 1990 cressida or something would be the best beat for fitment id assume.

Just an idea.

Hope you work it out.
