- The 1997 Lexus LX450 was not factory equipped with the connector under the dash for a plug and play brake controller installation, so there's not a plug-and-play brake controller wiring option available. To install a Prodigy P2, you'd need to hard wire the controller using our Brake Controller Install Kit, part # ETBC7. The kit contains everything needed to install a brake controller, but your Lexus will need a functional 4-pole trailer connector. If it doesn't already have one, you can...

- The wiring that feeds the 12-volt accessory circuit on the 7-way trailer connector is of too small a gauge to allow enough power to pass through to run a winch. The main function of that circuit would be for lighter-duty applications, such as providing power for interior trailer lights or to maintain a trailer mounted battery.
The Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch - Wire Rope - Roller Fairlead - 4,400 lbs, # BDW15019, will require some power as it draws 28 amps at 0 lbs but 340 amps at full...

- It sounds to me like you may have a ground problem. A weak ground can cause your signals to malfunction so you will want to check and make sure that the ground wire on the vehicle, as well as the trailer, is secured tightly to a clean metal surface. I also recommend checking the trailer connectors for corrosion.
If you are still having problems and your 1997 Lexus LX 450 has an aftermarket wiring harness with converter, I recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to check the functioning...

- We have learned that the 2013 and newer Ram trucks do not provide enough voltage to power the Hopkins Smart Hitch, part # HM50002, simply by plugging it in to your truck.
In order to install the camera on your truck you need to hardwire the power wire into the reverse light circuit which is the center pin of your 7-way trailer connector.
view full answer... - Replacement Windshield Wiper Blades for 1997 Lexus LX 450
- Actually, Scrubblade recommends the # SC87FR 18 inch blade for the driver side and the # SC67FR 16 inch for the passenger side. I attempted to find an online copy of your vehicle owner's manual to confirm this, but was unsuccessful, likely due to the age of the vehicle. Rain-X, ClearPlus and Michelin also confirm the 18 inch size for the driver side and 16 inch for the passenger side.
I've linked to a product video for the Scrubblade Heavy Duty wiper blades.
