Broken 1992 lexus ls400 odometer
Hello to all, my odometer in my 1992 Lexus LS400 recently broke on me. My question to you is if anyone out there knows who are the best companies out there that fix these things? I am leaning towards this company out of Wisconsin called, "Tanin Auto Electronix." They have a rebuilt one with a lifetime warranty but I don't know how good and reputable this company is. Anyone out there with any helpful information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi ForzaRoma,
I've moved your post the right forum for 1st gen LS400's https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...1990-2000-183/
This is where you should create threads related to your specific vehicle.
Tanin is a forum vendor here on Club Lexus and they have a very good reputation.

welcome and yes tanin is a CL vendor so they can take care of the cluster - if it's indeed the problem. there could be a larger problem which is attributed to the ECU capacitors that plague early model LS400s.

SYMPTOMS:
Please understand that any one of these symptoms can be a sign of ECU capacitors beginning to fail. - You do not need all or most of them to have this issue!
Your ECU capacitors are strongly suspected if you have at least one of the following intermittent issues on your Lexus or Toyota:
● problems in getting into diagnostic mode or scanner says "no communication"
● random dropping into "limp home" mode
● weird shifting problems
● OBD port is unresponsive, seems dead
● throwing random fault codes
● engine won't rev out/rev limits at 2000 or less rpm
● engine runs like crap, then suddenly runs fine again
● random not starting or cutting out
● low idle or erratic idle
● often very hard to start, requires starting fluid
● transmission will not automatically shift, only manual shift is possible
● transmission jerks from 1st to 2nd gear, and kinda slips from 2nd to 3rd
● no A/C compressor operation
● idle speed rolling up and down, or sometimes too low and sometimes too high
● speedometer not working reliably
● speed (cruise) control not working
● tachometer not working sometimes
● air bag light flickering intermittently
● A/C going into reset with flashing front defog light (front defog light typically flashing 10 times)
● check engine light on sometimes, but no codes stored, often in concert with ECT light
● ECU not communicating with scanners or not displaying codes with jumper installed
● bad sulfur exhaust smell in concert with not running right above

Hey there!
We always love to hear CL forum members speak on our reputation before we have the chance to chime in, word of mouth is our best form of advertising
As previously mentioned, we do have a couple options available to assist you with your LS400's issue.
Our customer service department can ask you a couple questions to get a clearer idea of what you're experiencing, this helps us determine if the odometer is the source of the issue. There are several things that can cause hiccups with the odometer, so we want to make sure the possibilities we can't help with are ruled out before you spend the time and money ordering a replacement odometer assembly or sending your gauge cluster to us.
Here is the replacement assembly we offer:
TANIN AUTO ELECTRONIX: 1990–1992 LEXUS LS400 MECHANICAL ODOMETER ASSEMBLY
At the price of $159.99, it includes a lifetime warranty and ships within 3 business days from the time your order is placed. If you decide to order it, please make sure to add a note with the current mileage on your vehicle so it can be programmed to the assembly prior to shipping.
If you're not confident in your ability to install the assembly yourself, we also offer a repair service:
TANIN AUTO ELECTRONIX: 1990–2000 LEXUS LS400 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPAIR
For a 1992 vehicle year, the base labor repair fee is $104.99. This covers initial inspection, diagnosis, disassembly, reassembly, testing, and a summary of what is wrong and what it will take to make the cluster function 100% again.
If the odometer is determined to be the issue, the fee to repair it is an additional $99.99 - which comes with a 1-year warranty. This service will also let you know if there are any other areas within the cluster that are beginning to show signs of failure (such as gauge mobility or lighting), then we'll make the recommendation for other maintenance repairs to avoid running into the problem later and needing to pay the $104.99 diagnostic fee all over again.
Those prices do not include shipping costs, but it is still usually less expensive than purchasing a full replacement gauge cluster.
We also offer a 5% discount for ClubLexus members with coupon code "ClubLexus5"
Please let us know if there is any other information we can provide to earn your business!
Our customer service department is open from 9:00am-6:00pm EST at (262) 456-4147 or contact@taninauto.com

the OP responded to me via PM:
Thanks for the info. I don't have any of those problems listed. My trip odometer works fine. It is the odometer itself that turns. I am guessing one of the gears is bad. It stopped working at 143k miles.
