I am seeing a lot of repeat issues on here. If you go to Google Chrome, type in "LS430 xxxxxx(a brief couple of words of your problem)" you will likely find a discussion or 4 on the topic. FYI.

Preaching to the choir. Such is the nature of Internet forums. People are not willing to search before they ask their question, even if it's been answered a thousand times over.

This thread will get lost in the noise as new members come flood the forum with "Why aren't my doors unlocking?" "Why isn't my radio playing my music???" "TIMING BELT?!?!?!" and the Stickied posts get ignored.


Also, if you search Google with your query and append "site:https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-3rd-gen-2001-2006" to the end, it'll directly search this subforum and works much better than the forum's search function.

The search feature built into the forum isn't the best.
Ironically, even when you DON'T use Google's site search feature Clublexus specific content still rises to the top. I think it's safe to say this is how most new users find the forum. They search "LS430 water pump..." then click on a Clublexus link. After perusing a few links they decide the forum is worthwhile and create an account to post their issue. Without fail an active forum member, albeit trying to help, will search the same issue (LS430 water pump...) and copy those exact same links into the thread. Vicious circle...
