Ac Issue With Fan Not Working

[tjrudolph]

I recently purchased a 1999 RX300 from my father-in-law. After a month or two, the ac would only blow on high, even though the fan speed was set at a lower speed. Now, it has died and isn't working at all. My mechanic told me that I would have to take it to the dealer to be repaired. I was quoted a repair charge of several thousand. I have fallen in love with by RX300 and I don't want to have to get rid of it. Being without AC in Texas is unbearable. Any suggestions for repairs that won't cost me an arm and a leg?

The problem is your "Blower motor control" resistor box. It is located behind your glove box. The part # is 87165-22040.

It is a simple install if you are good with your hands, no soldering needed. You can buy the part from the dealer, then have your shop do

the install. I had the same problem.
