Lexus SC430 :: Seat Vibration When In Idle
Aug 12, 2013
I took my car to a mechanic the other day to get the spark plugs change. Then I notice when I turn my car on my seats starts to vibrate when in idle. Is this normal cuz the mechanic says this is normal and that every car vibrates just a little. I read some where it could be the mounts but someone on here told me they not because it doesn't shake my seats just vibrates if I seat there I can feel the seats vibrating on and off its not crazy bad vibrate. It's a minor vibration. I was hoping for no vibration what so ever like sitting in on my leather couch in my living room. Mine is a old model 2002.

Noticed a slight vibration from my engine at idle. Nothing too overbearing but just had a concern. How much should I expect if the engine mounts need replacement? Parts? Labor?

1) Where to find a driver's lower fuse panel in cabin fuse cover/kick space left side, near brake?
2) I have a slight intermittent magic fingers kind of idle. I changed spark plugs, no diff, have been using Techron, timing belt replaced, etc.

On several other cars I've owned it was possible to link a key fob to seat memory. Meaning if my wife used her remote fob to open the car doors the seats and mirrors were set to her memory position etc.
I searched the owner manual and don't see this feature on our SC430.

I bought my 2004 SC 430 used in 2005. The seat belt "reminder" buzzer or ding was silent and I have left it that way. Now that I am a member of this forum (just joined mid February) and after having so many questions answered solving problems I have been living with (like a steering wheel squeal when it retracts to let me out of the car, and a knocking above and behind the back seat, which turned out to be the shell that goes over the top when it is down, and lots of other solutions to things I did not want to go to the dealer about) I decided it is time to see if I can reconnect the seat belt warning. So, might that be a fuse?,Or maybe some wire under the dash that has been unplugged?

The problem that I am having is when the car is idle it has very noticeable vibration that I can feel when sitting in the passenger seat, also it seems to be a little on the hesitant side when driving on the freeway, but I could be exaggerating.... It's an 03 Passat Wagon GLS 5spd ...

Trying to lower the seat or seat rails in an SC430. I would like to get the seats down about an inch. Can the seats be taken out and distance between the bottle of the rail and the seat shortened somehow.

My passenger chair seat won't fold back? Passengers can't get in the back seat. The manual (pull up) lever is jammed?

I love my SC430, and want to keep it another ten years! BUT... I reclined the passenger seat this weekend, and now it won't go back up. Using the release lever, I can pull it up, but if you sit there or put any pressure on it, it falls right back down again to full reclining position.

Dead battery. After recharging it, the car starts but.......
1. the seat memory buttons stop working
2. the radio that hasn't worked in 8 months since i own the car is working
when the radio wasn't working, i tried to put in new fuses and that didn't work. but a dead battery did.

I've had a squeak, for lack of a better word, in the back seat near or rear window. I couldn't tell if it was the rear seat back or something else.
I began lowering the roof and stopped the process by turning off the ignition while the roof was just setting down in the trunk. This leaves the raised covers pointing up vertically to let the roof pass. (When the roof is up these covers form the rear "package shelf".) In the center of the car just under this cover there is a round black rubber bumper stop the size of a 50 cent piece (whatever those are). This stop is adjustable up-and-down. Rotating it counterclockwise raises the stop and clockwise lowers it. I raised my rubber stop, by hand, a couple of turns upward.
That's all. The squeak is gone. This bumper apparently bind the package shelf to the roof when it is up and stops if from moving around - and squeaking. I don't know the Lexus method for adjusting this bumper stop but a turn or two made a wonderful difference in my mood today.

The heated seat on the driver side does not work. I replaced the switch (near the center console) and checked the fuse, but it still doesn't work. The light on the switch comes on, but no heat.

I just purchased my 2003 sc it has 78000 miles on it and I am not sure if im running rf's in the rear and non rf's in the front. I know the ones in the rear are very different looking they are s800 bct's , and the front they are continentals. Anyway how can i tell between a run flat tire and a non run flat tire??
Do they look different in appearance? All i know is that sucker vibrates damn good at around 55-68 mph. should i get a wheel balance?There is no spare in the trunk and the tires look brand new.

Car has this vibration for the first mile or so. After that it smooths out to nothing. don't hear anything on corners, no metal on metal ( I know they are pressed in bearings sealed).
New rubber, fresh alignment, balanced wheels. Anyway, I can't tell what wheel it is coming from. What would cause a good vibration for a short period of time? Is this the start of wheel bearings? If so, how do you figure out what corner?

I have 2002 SC430 with an annoying vibration through the seat/chassis at 60mph but she's smooth at 55 and slower and at 65+ mph ? Things I have tried so far ...
wheel balance
wheel alignment
2 rims rerolled that were out of round
bushes and suspension all checked
moved wheel positions front to back etc
Thinking now maybe driveshaft or uni joints ? or new tires but that's an expensive exercise !!

I have a 2006 sc430 and have been having problems with the drivers memory seat although the passenger one works fine.
I have disconnected my batter for 5 minutes, moved the passenger seat all the way forward, heard the beep. Moved the reclining part all the way forward until I heard the beep, and the memory seat for the passenger works great.
I moved the drivers seat all the way forward, heard the beep. Moved the reclining part all the way forward until I heard the beep, but the memory seat won't beep (when you hold set and a number). I even replaced my drivers mirror (didn't tilt down due to bad motor), but that didn't work. Of course, I did redo disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it resetting both drivers seat and passenger seat.
