Little Black Box!
So after all this, I had almost tore apart my steering colum but the fact that I could not remove the steering wheel without a tool I called a mechanic friend to ask to borrow one. He wanted to look at the car himself. I agreed and he decided to check the "Fail Light Indicator"
It is the relay/module that controls the indicator light on the dash. I guess I should have been suspicious that throughout the problem it did not tell me I have any lights out on the dash. So basically the LS and Camrys had issues with that relay burning out.
It is a small 3x3in black box located behind the trunk trim, behind the left deck lid hinge. Its plugged in and clipped to its location. If you open up the black box there is a circuit board inside. Mine was fried. Well great right? Problem found and handled part number written right on the part. Call my lexus dealer and they say "no problem, we can have it here tomorrow, 480$"
Lucky me, i stopped at wrecking yard and found the part. 20$ and I was on my way.
Hope this helps someone 😄
