Oh man. It seems I just can't get a break with my car! Not sure for you guys saw the other posts but I bought a used 2010 with 157,000 miles on it. Maintenance at Lexus...seems like every week there's a new issue

Anyway, I just parked the car and this light started flashing! Anyone know what this means? I'm attaching a photo.

It's the differential lock light. Check see if it didn't accidentally got hit. It's right under the start button on the right of the steering column.

And now my Airbag ligh went on again on the cluster and also my safety connect red LED next to the SOS near the sunroof is lit! What's going on?

maxse

It was blinking the though. Turned the car off and on and it went away, but now the airbag light went on again
I guess Im going to have to take it into the dealer now. I hope it's not something that's going to be around $1,000

Any codes maxse?

You need to read the fault codes in your truck and go from there. I have kept Bmw in the past and had all kinda diagnostic tools even though my car was under warranty. Fixed all the issues myself with the help of my mechanic friend and never took it to the dealer unless I have empty credit card which I want to fill up.

I've seen an old/weak battery cause all kinds of gremlins with the electronics. How old is the battery?

Anyone know why the SOS light would red at the same time as well?

SOS light red could also mean no service, do you still have active services after first year?

I bought the car from a used Cadillac Dealer. It's a 2010. The light came on as he doors unlocked and Airbag light came on

Have you been back to the dealer for the issues that Best Buy may have caused? Strong chance they may have shorted and damaged some of the modules in your vehicle.

Acrad

Did the diff lock light come back on again today?


Hopefully that is actually a false positive on activation. Serious damage could occur to transfer case if vehicle was driven like that on dry pavement in any direction but a straight line. It's like driving a part time 4WD vehicle in 4H or 4L on pavement

maxse

Nope the light never came back on. I didn't have a chance to take the car to the dealer yet. I work long hours and didn't have a chance yet. I guess I was also secterely wishing the problem would go away. Do you guys think I should bring the wire at the fuse box to their attention or not mention anything and see if the dealer can figure it out on their own?

Acrad

I really do think you should take car into dealer. It would help having this as supporting documentation if you need to go down the small claims court against party who do did the shoddy work.

Thanks guys. At the dealer now!
