Service Required

How do I reset the Service required light on a 2004 lexus ES330? I
change the oil every 3,000 miles but I don’t know where the timer reset
mechanism is.

painting door panels 2005 ES330

Anyone here with auto body experience this post is for you…
I have an ’05 ES330 Alabaster. I have unfortunately gotten both passenger
doors scratched on the lower parts of the doors below the side molding.
noticable enough to need repainting, too deep to polish out (not to bare
metal tho)
Lexus recommends painting practically the whole side of the car to promote
proper blending including removal of all the moldings, window trim, door
handles etc. Basically $1250 to fix scratched door panels
There is no body damage and the rear door may need new bottom door molding.

My question here is I am not going thru insurance and prefer not to spend
$1250 to repaint especially since it disturbs me to paint perfectly
beautiful front fender and rear quarter panel.

What are the "correct" recommendations in this case?  I want the car
essentially perfect as it was pre incident. Am I unreasonable to think it
can be done with less painting and thus less $$ but still excellent cosmetic
results??

Pro input appreciated.

Thanks,
Matthew

Help – Navigation Override Stopped Working After 2006 Upgrade

I have a 2004 ES330.  I was able to override the navigation system (so the
passenger could use all of the features of the system while the car was in
motion) until I updated the navigation DVD to the 2006 version.  Before the
upgrade (which was the 2005 version), I world press menu, volume,  upper
left corner, lower left corner, upper left again, lower left again and then
override.  This no longer works.  The override screen does not come up.
Does anyone know the sequence to override the 2006 DVD?

VSC and ABS lights

Recently my 1998 LS400 is having its VSC and ABS lights come on and off
together. The car seems to run perfectly even with the lights on. Is
there anything wrong with the ABS system?
Is it OK for me to bring the car to independant shops to diagnosis such
problems?

Any tips appreciated.

Thanks

All Dashboard Lights ON in the Morning and when I press on the brakes

In the morining when I start my car ( 92 LS400 ) or when the car has
sat for a long time, the Dashboard lights will stay on until I drive
for a little bit and then they turn off.  After I have driven for a
while, I have to press on the brakes, the lights will sometimes come
on, but the minute I start to accelerate, they go off again.

Please Help!!!

I replaced the battery and I had the alternator checked and it shows
that it is charging fine.

Any and All Help would be Greatly Appreciated….I have taken to 2
Foreign Car Repairmen and they are clueless.  Nearest Dealer is 2 hour
drive away.
