USCmagnacumlaude Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hello All,I'm new around here, hope I'm posting in the right place.I have a 99 RX300 and when I turn on the AC or vent, it sounds like there's a hamster running around its wheel in the face vent. If I turn the fan up higher the noise gets louder, then after about 10 seconds or so quiets down. If I set the air to blow on both face and feet...no hamster wheel sound. When I set it to face only it happens.Any ideas?Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990LS400 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I could be a bit of junk (that's a technical term!) contacting the blower fan. I had that happen many years ago in 90 LS400 I used to own. I remember it being a cheap fix since the fan on that car was pretty easy to get to. My regular mechanic fixed it so I can't provide more details. Of course it could be something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEX-SV Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Welcome to LOC. Sorry, but this is of no help. But I saw this very large hamster at autoshow in November.... I hope some of the RX owners have some ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.T. Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Nicole, This is what is going on with that noise. A/C solenoid noise. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/topic/20561-99-rx300-dash-board-noise-when-first-started/ ET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
