  1. Nope--still have the problem. My radiator blew out one time, when I didn't catch it soon enough. I would take it in to my Lexus dealer, but they would want to replace the engine!
  2. My 1999 ES-300 has had an intermittent radiator fan stoppage for three years. Mechanics can't find the problem, because it's so intermittent. The symptoms are: temperature gauge starts to rise quickly, I stop, get out, open the hood and find the fan is not running. I tap on the relay box a couple of times and the fan starts. Then I am OK for anywhere from two weeks to six months. The most expensive relay has been replaced, to no avail. My question is this: Are the relays meant to start the fan only when it is required because of temperature? If so, is there a way to wire them so the fan runs all the time? Living in Arizona, I don't think the engine is going to get too cool. Any other ideas or similar problems? Thanks Marty
  3. Oops, before I get too excited, how do I replace it ? I took the advice. The part cost $11+ at the local dealer--no surprise. It takes a little screwdriver "persuasion" to snap in the new part, but it works fine now.
