I'm new to this forum. My Lexus suddenly won't start either. I had the power steering bearing and belt replaced on my 2000 GS300 two weeks ago after the thing locked up. I don't know if what I'm about to write is related to that issue, especially since the car was great after that $600 fix. This morning, however, after sitting in the rain all night, the car won't start. When I turn the ignition key there's a little click, the lower dashboard lights pulse and flash and there's a rough vibrating-drumroll sound. After I return the key to the off position the dashboard lights up for a second, and then it's off. The battery seems fine, as I can turn on the headlights, and the car drove beautifully last night. I don't know what's going on. I've never seen this reaction to starting before. Any ideas? Thanks.
