Regarding the speaker, yes, the original speakers do rot out and you can either replace them or repair them. There are repair kits for about $25 out there that will make a world of difference.

Depending on what the error code is, it is possible that you just have a loose vacuum hose that you'll be able to see if you take the engine cover off. They will likely be on the driver side on the top. OTOH, the O2 sensors are under the car and those could have been damaged by the flood. (A Techstream would help you narrow it down. You can pick one of them up for $25 to $50 or so on ebay.)

Welcome to the forum.

If I need to be more specific just let me know what you need and I'll try to include it

Hi everyone I bought a 2002 Lexus SC 430 and water got into the floorboard and got to the seat motors that's as high as it got.

The battery is new but was dead when I got the car

I have disconnected the electrical connections to both seats and checked all fuses.

The car starts and runs great but I'm having other problems that shouldn't have had anything to do with water damage.

The gas tank and trunk won't open
The side mirrors won't work
The door locks don't work either side
The drivers window wont roll up or down but the passenger window works. from what I have read the drivers side is the "Master" Not sure if that's true but I have ordered both since they are fairly inexpensive.
The top will not open and no red light on the button.
The security light blinks but the key fob doesn't do anything.

What works is the nav unit, the heat and air, radio, cruise control, vsc, tilt wheel functions, wipers, and all steering wheel controls.

I'm thinking of changing both door multiplex units first to try and get the door functions working so I can try to program the key fob.

Bases on this what advise can you give me? Any pin out tests would be great also.


Thanks in advance

I am going to get a Techstream I think it's a valuable tool to have especially since I might have gremlins pop up.
