my friend has a es300 and he just shorted out the electricity in his center console. He took the lighter out of its socket and once he put it back in, the radio and all climate controls do not work. anyone have a solution or know of any things to try to figure what's wrong?

 

Check the fuse?

 

 

open the fuse box, look for the one that lights up the center console or interior lighting.. hmm most likely something that has to do with the center dash console or along those lines.. locate it, pluck it out, pop in a spare fuse.

 

figured it out, thanks fellas

 

Congrats.

I used to have a 1992 ES-300 5MT. Nice car.

 

they made them in manual?

 

Absolutely!

I had the cold weather package and if my memory serves me right, I could not rewind tracks on the trunk mounted CD changer.
