Main fuse replacement: 15 - 30 minutes ($5 / $100 / $140)
In this video I helped my friend replace the main 120 amp alternator fuse in the main fuse box panel of his 2003 Lexus GS 300. I'm sure this process is the same on many Lexus, Toyota and other vehicles / cars.

I literally almost sold my car to a junk yard today because I was too frustrated to keep fixing it. I got the bright idea to check the fuse panel and sure enough, the alternator fuse was blown. This video was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!!!!

I have never installed the battery backwards in my life. 51 years. Did it today and my symptoms were exactly the same. Thanks for posting this. Wish me luck. That 120 amp was indeed blown now I’m gonna see if I can pull this joker apart.

Thank you! This was extremely helpful. The dealership said this was a three-hour job for a trained technician. I was able to do this in less time. The tricky part, as mentioned, is releasing the four tabs to slide up the fuse panel to access the bolts holding the Alt 120V fuse in place. I found it helpful to remove the battery so I could move the fuse compartment to provide slack in the power line so I could slide up and move it out of the way. I found it difficult to grab onto the fuse box to slide it out without damaging the casing. I used a crowbar to gently push up on the fuse box from underneath where the power had been connected. Finally, I found that the Alt 120 fuse was just one of five or so fuses that had been ruined by the incorrect connection of the battery terminals. In addition to four fuses in the engine compartment, the Ignition fuse under the drivers side near the brake was ruined. Once I replaced the five fuses, the car started. Thank you!

I flipped my polarity while instaling the battery and rushing one day. I was told by a lexus specialist that i definitely fried the "Computer" & "Alternator" ... He also has one to sell me conveniently for $350 and would install it for $150... Lol I looked into it myself and found the Fusible Link for the Alternator was blown the reson hardly nothing was working. Main problem discovered but your video showed me how to get the fricking thing out! Thanks! The wife wont be getting that Tesla anytime soon Lol

I have a 1998 Lexus LS400. While jump starting it I accidentally hooked up the cables incorrectly. I blew several blade type fuses (7.5, 10, 15) which I've replaced in both the fuse panel of the engine compartment as well as under the dash. The car starts fine but I have no dash warning lights at start up, no instrument lights on the dash when running, no brake lights and it is locked in park. I've checked all the large fuses 80 amp etc located at the engine end of the fuse panel under the hood and they are fine. Any ideas?

Very helpful. I was thinking about buying a 98 GS300 with only 124K on it and the alternator is not charging. I CANNOT believe a Lexus/toyota alternator went bad at 124K and I checked the fuse but it looks okay. So I am going to put in alternator before I buy the car. Would rather spend 140.00 as opposed to buy and it be something else. Car seems perfect in everyway except the text on the radio is gone.

Great video. But can you help diagnose this problem: I helped my son-in-law replace a serpentine belt (04 Corolla). And in order to do it he took the alternator completely out (also to help make it easier to replace the thermostat). When we put the alternator back in and hooked everything up, we found all kinds of electrical problems: no lights, no gauges, no speedometer, no door locks, windows won't roll up or down, gearshift won't come out of park, no A/C, etc., etc. One clue, possibly: forgot to disconnect battery before removing alternator. Could this have caused something to blow? Thanks -- if you are able to help!
@RobertDIY
@RobertDIY 5 жыл бұрын
My guess would be that there is a wire not hooked up. There may have been 3 wires on the alternator and you only hooked 2 back up. One is hiding in there. The one going to the fuse box.

Ouch! Usually that means you have a bad cable connection or bad battery. In theory the car should start and run without an alternator.

What did this fix? I mean, what was the car doing before you figured out this fuse went bad?

The alternator would not charge the battery, so there was warnings on the dash.

Robert DIY ok I changed my battery because the car would cut off and lock up , but after changing the battery it still doing the same problem, but before changing the battery it smelll like something electronic. I’m so frustrated . So I called the Lexus dealer made appointment but they want 160.00 . The car only has 127,000 miles on it . Do you think it’s my alternator

It went ok, the ES330 has a lot more obstacles to access the fuse. If you don't mind, I linked your video in my description so people could get more detail. I only made a general overview video. ES330 owners, look here ---> kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2PPmpKNYqZ-mLM
