Hey everyone,
I'm going to take one last stab at figuring out my 2000 LX470 issue. Long story short is, I had my brothers shop replace the AC compressor because I was hearing noise from the engine which only occurred with the serpentine belt on and the AC wasn't blowing cold air (the button was flashing as well). They replace the compressor, and there is still a noise from the engine. After researching, it seems the noise might be the fan bracket bearing going bad. My next step was to replace this part, but things got worse..
Out of nowhere, the engine decided not to start. My brother ran a jump box on it and it wouldn't start. I then had it towed to my house where I put my own jump box on it, still no start. Volts were showing at 2v which I thought was surprisingly low. I took the battery to the store and they tested it and confirmed it was a bad battery (this is the second time a brand new battery has failed in this vehicle in the past 12 months). With the new battery installed, the dash lights come on, and I DO get clicks from the starter relay, but I do not get a start. Some background info: the starter was replaced a year or so ago by myself (well the contacts were replaced, not the starter).
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the next step? I checked most of the connections in the engine bay thinking maybe something had come loose but no luck.
