Default Few issues with my LS430

Hi Guys, I hope you can help.

Issue 1: Cruise Control
Only goes up to 70mph and stops working. If I exceed this speed and try to set the speed above 70 it will not work.

Issue 2: Volume Controls on Steering Wheel

They dont work. Sometimes the up takes the volume down sometimes up. What to do?

Issue 3: Front side windows

There is a ghost living inside the doors. When automatically I bring up the windows, they come down again on their own half way and they stop. When I manually take them up then all ok.

Thats all for now folks. Thanks.

Fatony.

Welcome! What is the age of your battery? A weak battery in a LS can cause all kinds of weird electrical problems. Disclaimer: buying a new battery may make absolutely no difference, but it's worth a try as a first step.

As far as volume control on steering wheel I had the same problem. Dealer had to "reset" volume control on back of radio. $75.00

Cheers

Thanks guys. I will take it to the dealer to reset the volume buttons,... even though I dont need them that much. But still, better to have them working.

Can the Cruise Control be reset to remove this speed restriction thing? Wouldnt work above 70mph.

Had this issue with my G35. It was a sign that the window motors were going out. You may be able to extend the life by cleaning them out or just replacing them.

You may need to try a RESET though first...try this method:

I'd try disconnecting the battery for 15~30 minutes then reconnecting to see if any of the problems go away...
