Hi, I'm new in this forum
I understood the capacitators C142/ C147 are the ones related to fuel indication on Lexus LS400 93-94.
My question is if the Lexus LS400 91 have the same capacitators number or different ones.
Where can you order the parts for cluster repair and would you send picture and or video to my email. debarb@bellsouth.net.
I am speaking for parts listed in #103.

Didn't you order for a replacement which had the second line figures 257410-1226?
Was it not available or a failed unit and you want to fix yours?
Regarding the post #103, you'd better ask Chopfooey for the detail.
Hello Yamae, I read on another forum to use different caps when replacing, either ceramic or tantalum . Would that be acceptable
Simply to say, it's not fully acceptable. Because there is a risk of the oscillation due to the phase rotation up to the very higher frequency using those very low ESR capacitors.
Many of those old voltage regulators are not designed to use too low ESR capacitors. See the page below.
Without an additional countermeasure to prevent the oscillation or the unstable operation of the circuit, you'd better use electrolytic capacitors. http://www.tij.co.jp/jp/lit/an/slva115/slva115.pdf
Hi everyone- Several years ago I used this forum to repair my dash by replacing C147, C142, C214, and C212, and it worked great for a number of years. Now it stopped working again, so I ordered the specific electrolytic capacitors that Yamae recommended in this forum. Unfortunately, the problem is now in a different area not mentioned, and those previous repairs are still good. One of the original caps has melted and burned a small part of the large board, just above the blue connector CNB, and about 2cm to the right of C108. I think the burned one says C106. Can you tell me what type of Capacitor this is? Also, the back of the board is slightly burned and a couple of the board leads are gone. Does anyone have a picture of the back of the board where C106 goes, so I can attach jumpers to bypass the missing lines? THANKS!

Reason: more detail
My problem on my 1994 LS400 is when the car is cold inside the cluster will not light, after driving about 45 minutes with the heater on they light up and work normally. This problem does not show up in the summer when it is warm. Will replacing these caps fix my problem?
That would be electrolytic caps. Digikey has multiple selections. Just look at the illustrations on the site and choose. They are really inexpensive. Mine never failed to eventually light up but it was taking longer and longer over time.
WOw... I apologize about being from the "Texting" generation. my language can be a bit rough at times. In an attempt to write something that would help people save money and gain appreciation for their cars I got complaints about my language! I don't care if you like it or not... Take the knowledge and information and run with it!
PS Lexus owners seem to act like poor Porsche people!
Oh and someone email me a question about this...
How did I ever manage to find a Momo steering wheel hub for the Ls400\Sc400 when they don't make them?!?! The trick is to use a 96-00 Civic EK hub. you can even use the $10 kind on ebay! its a direct fit but you have to figure out how to wire the horn up... thats the only tricky part.
Thanks again all!
Anyone know which capacitor numbers correspond on the '95 model. I cant find those capacitor numbers on my board.

A 95 has newly designed and totally different boards. There is no compatibility at all and there's no correspondence. I would use an ESR meter and find out defective capacitors, if the problem was only related to capacitors.

I have purchased another cluster from a 95 RHD which luckily is in very good condition and untouched. All is working though except the fuel gauge has dropped below E.
Lots of picture taken of the board and the Caps. Will post here.
I am trying to confirm where the Odometer reading is stored on the board, as my car has low km (just over 200,000) compared to the 300,000km on the dash I have just purchased. Any ideas?
