Thanks a lot, I dropped my brother's newly replaced debit card in the bottom of the cup holder and you save me from taking 2 weeks worth of an ear beating. Took less than 15 minutes to get it out.
Thank you sir there was a piece of paper blocking the latch mechanism in my wife's car and I was able to retrieve it! Problem solved... The clips are so solid and I love the felt covering, everything went back together nicely, super tight!
When I tell you this helped me. I am not mechanically inclined and I bought the part for $40 from this guy off FB Markeplace. It took me about 3 hours to take out clean it and the car and reinstall. Thank you so much. That was $40 not $500!!!
this video was so helpful... my cup holder was broke on 05 ls430 for almost 2 years. I replaced it in 15 mins watching this video. I used a paint bucket opener thing since I didnt have the prying tool you had. wish I did this a long time ago, so easy.
This helped me fix three problems. Thank you! -Papers stuck in cup holder mechanism--including a Steak N Shake coupon from 2006. :) -A pen blocking the ashtray door from opening all the way. -Access to an ancient ipod device so I could plug in an aux cable instead.
Excellant instructions! I was able to remove the cupholder with the aid of a couple of nylon tools that I purchased on Amazon, "SunPlusTrade 11 piece Trim Removal Kit". I discovered that there was a piece of paper that was caught in front of the magnet that was preventing the cupholder from opening! So I ended up returning a new cupholder from Bell Lexus in Scottsdale, AZ that I had ordered via ebay.
Thank you!! the tabs on my 18 year old car broke but atleast I was able to fix the cup holder and dash. time to go hunting for a new shift cover on ebay. thanks again
Cup holder was not useable for last 2 years, after watching this viedeo I followed the instructions and found paper napkin was stuck inside, It took me about 10 min to open and remove it, Thanks for the great viedeo really appreciate it
Do you mean that the cup holder will not open? If so, I would follow these directions as though you are going to remove it. Once you have access to it, you may discover what the problem is (it may have something lodged in it).
Oscar c Oscar, all you Gotta do is take the felt coverings off, Press and turn where the wires go in at its plastic housing unit and the whole thing pops out it could be hard to get your hands in there and they’re pretty tough. I have unscrewed the whole light box once because I was having so much trouble 4 that all you needs a little socket attached a screwdriver good luck I hope that’s accurate I did it about six years ago.
Great video! Thanks for telling us about Jesus and how to have eternal life in Heaven too! I know Him and can’t live without Him! He is a good father 😉
@@vr757 it worked!! Me and my buddy tackled this project today following your tutorial step by step and ended up a success!! Thanks again my man! Really appreciate the post to TH-cam!
We sold our ride a year ago because we needed a van and I don't recall our mileage, but it is decent considering it has a v-8. However, it does require premium fuel.
_ Gabriel_ 2001 LS 430, I drove to Florida 26 hours from Toronto every tank a gas got 700 km 4 people in the car mostly a little bit above the American speed limit, and I also think we had to fill up every seven hours it was pretty tight 700 K7 hours we never stopped just kept filling up and going I’ve never done that before in Canada as too much stop and go driving but that’s the best you can get out of these cars,,,,, if the car only had one person I probably would get a little more
Too bad Lexus doesn't sell the screw off/on cup holder arms(ears)...it would save the owner about $200.00 and the repair time if that's all that's broken
Yes! It is definitely the best car we have ever owned. We have since moved on to a minivan because of our kids and grandkids, but I would not hesitate to buy one again. Regarding salvation, I'm so thankful that God gives it to us so freely through his son Jesus Christ, what an amazing gift:-)
thanks a lot my blunt fell down the cup holder got it in 10 minutes after seeing this video
Lmao
This the same reason I came to this video lmao
LMAOI

Nice touch at the end.. Please post more vids on this car if you have them.. Thanks

Great Vid. Very helpful. I was able to change ours no problem. And thanks for the message at the end. I agree!

Thanks so much for posting this video. I have the same problem with my cup holders. Now I just have to order the new parts and I'll be good to go.
I really glad it has helped.

I loved what you said at the end. God Bless. But I need help with the console. It doesn’t open 🤦🏻♀️

The most valuable information of this video was the very end. Blessings!
If anyone wants to drift there ls430, pull that thing under the cup holder that has a yellow sticker. It is the YAW sensor.
EXCELLENT TIP !
I like that you ended it with a message of Salvation. Amen.
Great video. Just used it to fix my 430
I plan to keep my LS for life (Has 215k Miles ) with the addition of all my Cadillac’s !
Thanks did this yesterday with this video.. found the previous owner drivers license in there lol
I'm glad it was helpful :)
Thank you so much for this. I got a new cup holder and will need to attempt to do this myself very soon!
You can do it!
Nice one, this job might seem simple but this video will really save me a lot of messing around !! THANK YOU.
Excellent excellent cars. Extremely reliable, smooth and plush.
Great video and the most important part was at the end, Thank you :-]
praise god bro keep spreading the word
Thank you!!! got a project car ls430 and this helped so much.
Have you replaced your brake light bulbs .im having a hard time with these I read forums that said you must replace the whole light boy a bulb
Oscar c Oscar, all you Gotta do is take the felt coverings off, Press and turn where the wires go in at its plastic housing unit and the whole thing pops out it could be hard to get your hands in there and they’re pretty tough. I have unscrewed the whole light box once because I was having so much trouble 4 that all you needs a little socket attached a screwdriver good luck I hope that’s accurate I did it about six years ago.
You wouldn’t happen to have a link to that plastic puller? My cup holder is stuck shut so that’s why I needed this video.
It is similar to these XBRN Auto Trim Removal Tool Kit,5 Pcs Car Panel Door Window Tools Kit,Auto Clip Fastener Remover Pry Tool Set a.co/iGHZNZA
GREAT VIDEO! thank you!
Good description, agree with you comment on the end, god bless
Most ls430 cup holder break on passenger side ... including mine.... But I use nice cup perfectly into it and use it as the holder... :)
actually the shifter knob was also not necessary to take off
Personally loved the bloody knuckles... :) Great video.
Amen brother
Great video! Thank you and God Bless...
Hey wonderful video don’t recall hearing where you bought the new cup holder from looks like it needs to match interior color trim.
Great video! Thanks for telling us about Jesus and how to have eternal life in Heaven too! I know Him and can’t live without Him! He is a good father 😉
Thanks a lot all the confirmation I needed to buy a new one
probably the easiest repair on a lexus
Great video!!!
Thank you so much ♥️♥️
great video! Does this tutorial apply to a 2004 Lexus LS430 also?
I'm sure 2001 to 2006 is the same.

@@roadrunnerrickyray I'm so glad it was helpful!
Great video ... How did u fix the spring latch so it rolls out smoothly? Can thei be fixed or needs a replacement part?
The spring latch came with the new assembly, so I didn't need to do anything with it.
Thank you for the information. I wish they didn't cost so much I actually need one.
Can you just replace the ears or arms on the cup holder?
I'm sorry, but I don't remember if the arms can be replaced.
Christ is king!!
How many miles on the highway with a full tank of gas do you get on this sweet ride?
We sold our ride a year ago because we needed a van and I don't recall our mileage, but it is decent considering it has a v-8. However, it does require premium fuel.

Close to 400 miles. Maybe even a little more then 400 if you’re driving only highway.
Thanks Yo.. GBU
How can i fix my ashtray that wont stay closed in my 2001 Lexus LS430
Hi Ramiro, I sold my LS430 over a year ago and never ran into that issue. Sorry I do not have an answer.
@@vr757 thanx anyway!
Cool
Where did you order the replacement? Thanks
I bought it on ebay.
What about the circuit board for the sunroof?
I bought it on ebay, also. I didn't replace the whole unit, just the board that was bad.
Do u want to sell your car
Too bad Lexus doesn't sell the screw off/on cup holder arms(ears)...it would save the owner about $200.00 and the repair time if that's all that's broken
That would be nice. I picked mine up on ebay... Don't know if it's still available.
Mine broke and found 1 for $80 junk yard
That is great! I was able to purchase a new one on eBay, I don't remember how much I paid for it though.
I ASK FOR SALVATION EACH AND EVERY DAY, MY 04 ULTRA IS THE BEST CAR I'VE EVER OWNED, A REALLY SWEET CAR 🫖
Yes! It is definitely the best car we have ever owned. We have since moved on to a minivan because of our kids and grandkids, but I would not hesitate to buy one again. Regarding salvation, I'm so thankful that God gives it to us so freely through his son Jesus Christ, what an amazing gift:-)
