Default My 2004 LS430 has gone nuts

Had the battery replaced at the dealer two weeks ago. Have only driven it twice since then. Took it out tonight and strange things started happening:

Keyless ignition locked up; had to use the key
only the drivers power window switch would work.
No power door lock; mirrors would not fold in.
steering wheel did not tilt back up when shutting off ignition.
red security light under instrument cluster started randomly blinking while driving.
Thought maybe a fuse but then some items started working again. (Mirrors and windows)

any ideas?

has 151,000 miles. Was a great car; daily driver for several years.
Got a 2011 460 a year ago and this car acts like it’s pissed at me.
I now only drive it once a week.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Get the alternator checked out. Might be going on the fritz.

They probably put in a battery that wasn’t fully charged and since you don’t drive the car very much it hasn’t had a chance to charge up either. Stick a battery charger on it for awhile first.


You might have gotten a bad battery from the dealer...
