Instrument Cluster Circuit Board is Bad! $1000 bucks!!!
#361
I work in 480V & 208V distribution now, so I don't have the equipment to test stuff like this at my disposal. Just figured if it was a common problem and if someone knew exactly what to replace, it'd be easy enough to do myself. I think my best bet is to send it out to someone at this point. Thanks for the help though, Yamae. I appreciate it.
Tanin, sent you an email.

Scratchy- Don't give up so easy. I was hoping that Yamae or LS Cowby would respond to your question as to "where the Current Sensing Circuit is located?"
I have a 93 LS400 and have had problems with both my cluster and my ECM. I have solved many issues by following the advice of Yamae and LSCowboy. I of course like to hear about the sources for repair services and don't wish to talk anyone out of that alternative.
My situation is that I am retired and find that learning about and repairing these problems is great fun as a DIY hobby. I have very little knowledge about electronics, but I have learned to trust Yamae and LS Cowboy on these issues and I was hoping that one or both would reply to your post and offer some comments where we could gain knowledge. Good luck on fixing your problem.

Sorry to revive a thread that's been inactive for awhile. Buuuuut I tried searching this thread for "temp guage' and nothing seems to be similar to mine.
'93 LS400, all dash lights light up fine, no flickering, or intermittence. The temp gauge just doesn't read at all, also the RMP needle seems to read under the actual RPM's. For instance at idle it reads 0, and at 80MPH, it reads a tad under 2K.
Any ideas??

I have the same issue with my temp gauge when the air is cold. Taking longer and longer to light up as each year passes.
There are plenty of shops that will fix this, many of which are advertising on ebay. Research to find a reputable one, remove your cluster and mail it to them. Ask for a warranty!
My temp gauge is not bothering me enough to warrant the expense...........yet.

No, don't go with ebay.
We are a vendor and sponsor here and know these clusters better than anyone.

You guys are actually who I'm going to go with
**EDIT**
One thing I wanted to ask, can you guys do color changes as well? Red needles, white led background??

We don't do color changes with LS and it is impossible to change the color of the needles.

SC uses LEDs, LS is a miniature fluorescent light tube

one quick question does the UK type cluster can be without reading be used with EU type front cover and is it possible to switch RPM with speed dials and GAS with Water TEMP ? or its hard to rewire it ?
#373
My experience just now:
I ran my battery dead for 2 days. Turned on the car. no cluster lights, no tach, speedo, fuel, temp. But 4 lights did POST, and turn signal worked. Charge battery, no change. Remove, inspect all fuses, tap all relays. Magic. All works. Phew!
99 LS400 90k miles.
YMMV.

these lexus clusters seem to have many issues, from what i've seen, in the UCF20's.
Mine seems to act up on warm starts, sometimes the tach wont work, sometimes the speedo, but both start working again when you tap/hit the cluster cover. Easy fix haha
