Asked by amit Mar 08, 2013 at 01:45 PM about the 2003 Lexus ES 300 FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

It sounds like some scratching or boiling water or rain dropping on a roof. It is a very wierd sound
and i don't even have to start the engine for it to sound. Also, its not constantly there. It stops and
comes back on. I don't know what it is.

check in the trunk you may be able to access the bulb from the bottom, if not you will have to remove the housing around it. as for the noise i wouldnt be able to help you there.

I've changed mine, and if memory serves me correct. You do it from the back-seat. It's not easy but the cover does come off and you can change it. Buy the bulb 1st so you know what your up against..good luck. It's not that hard.

I had my airbags replaced and the entire dash board of my car replaced. When I put my car in the shop there was nothing wrong with my car before I put it in the shop. Now in less then a week after getting my car out of the shop my VSC light and check engine light came on and will not go off. Does the repairs have anything to do with these lights coming on? In addition, when I got my car back my gas cap and trunk would not open using the button inside the car. 1 Answer
