On the AC problem - definitely check for any open fuses in the fuse panel, but an open fuse will merely shut the module down; if the AC/Fan display has gone or is going to black, thats not a fuse....you're looking at replacing the AC module with a good used one or having yours repaired. If the display is blackening, I recommend you check eBay for used ones or contact Mikado Technologies in California to have yours repaired - many Lexus dealers use Mikado to do this repair on older Lexus models.
jbarhorst2 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 OK. Maybe only 2 of the items are related. Does your cigarette lighter work? That same fuse powers the AC panel. You may have a coin or something in the lighter socket causing your fuses to blow. As far as the brake lights and shifting, maybe the brake light switch is not working properly. I may be mistaken, but I thought the same switch controlled both the brake lights and the solenoid release for shifting out of park. Tom
