HI thanks for posting your story!! when you were looking for the relay is the part number you mentioned what you searched on? thanks

thanks for setting me straight!

well its warmed up a bit in the last week or so and have not had the whine show up.. mut be due to constant cold temps, its been 30+ around for the last week, but still would like to know what the heck that was all about...

Hi everyone. I was curious to see if anyone else has experienced this. I am a bit paranoid as this is my first lexus (2000 rx 300 awd 65k on the clock purchased used). When its below 30 degrees and I am in the speed range of 20 -30 MPH I get a whinning sound, I just had the vehicle serviced, oil change, serp belts changed tranny & tranaxles fluid changes (not flushed) but just drained & refilled. When I am running below 20 or over 30MPH the whine disappears. on days over 40 it does not seem to make the whining noise at all. My mechanic mentioned he topped off the power steering fluid, but I still get this whinning noise any one ever experience this or have any suggestions? As I am typing this I recall reading post about noises coming from the AC, as it is cold when this happens I am running the defroster and the AC light comes on, wonder if this might be part of the problem... thanks!
