My es 300 98 model will not turn over

Have the new battery load tested, I have seen defective batteries, that goes double for non factory batteries like Autozone and other discount parts stores. If the battery checks out and it is just low on charge you most likely have a draw in the car's electrical system, that is to say something like a vanity light or interior light is on, that light can be a trunk light, a sun visor light and so on, check them at night. Put a charger on the battery if it is just a low charge problem and then find the draw

Starter not engaged. No fuel. No spark.

are there any sounds/ lights/ indications f good battery life? if when you turn the ignition there is a click, it could be starter solenoid sticking

Are you saying the engine cranks but won't start, or the engine won't crank ?
If the engine does not crank, you would check for voltage at the starter, the neutral safety switch, and the key switch as well as the ground connections.

Hi Susie, Turn on the head lights and get someone to observe them while trying to start. If they dim during trying to start, replace the battery. Regards John

Its cheaper to replace the whole axle.You can get these from www.rockauto.com from $40.00-$53.00 for your lexus.

it could still be the battery. there may be enough power to turn on lights etc. but not enough to engage starter. try boosting before condemning the starter, and these cars are not known for starter issues.

Some ES models have a knob near the steering wheel that turns the volume of the beeps up or down. Maybe someone turned this down too low.

I am not sure the 2005 has this.

Unscrew the gas cap, wait 30 sec and screw it back on making 3 clicks/cracks. Should be ok in a day or two.

starter went out
