2000 RX300

I'm Ryan from Central Indiana.

Last night, I drove my RX300 around to the garage so I could install brakes.

I replaced the rotors and brake pads on each wheel. Upon completion of the project, I needed to drive the car in forward and reverse in efforts to allow the new pads to seat to the new rotors.

When I attempted to start the car, it won't start.

I have chatted with a Lexus Mechanic online all day. I have trouble shot all sorts of things.

This is my last option. Has anyone experienced anything like this before?


Thanks,

Ryan

Does the RX attempt to start? Does it turn over? Or, do you hear a click?

When you bleed, the brakes pedal lights up the brake lights and they draw lot of current. If your battery was weak, it may not be able to start the RX.

Try jump starting.
