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

if you push the opener button and it unlocks and doesn't open, then it has to be the spring on the door is busted.
just replace the spring. It's a $3.43 part.
Here is a link, it is part number 7 if the picture comes through.

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.

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!
