No. I already got one, thank you. The one in your picture for a Toyota, it has two shafts. Lexus only has one.

eBay probably

No part numbers unfortunately. I called every specialty shop around hoping they’d have an old actuator laying around. Looks like I’m in for a new actuator.

Anyone?

While pulling transfer case actuator, the plastic piece holding the rubber gasket just crumbled in my hand. Question: is there a way to purchase just that piece without buying an entire actuator? If so, does anyone know the part number?

Update: I started the truck this morning. Same story, fan turned on and turned right off. Through the Freon view port, I saw a lot of bubbles going through, so I suspected it would be low. I then measured the level via the refill can and it was in fact very low. I ended up emptying the entire...

haha. I hear you. This used to be my daily driver, now I use it as a back up car. Other than delete air suspension and 4Runner wheels -it’s stock. I’ll report back after checking / filling the AC system.

while I don’t disagree, the repair will likely outpace the KBB of my truck. If I can refill the AC and keep going — it’ll be ideal.

The plan is get a can of r134a. Plug in low side, check level, add if necessary. I initially wanted to drop it off at a local shop, but after checking the fuse and both relays it comes down to either low Freon (possible leak given the age and mileage of my truck) or faulty fan motor, latter...

I do plan to check it before filling. The bottle comes with a pressure gauge.

Is it possible the fan is bad? I haven’t seen a single thread about replacement.

Ok. I’ll stop by autozone and get a refill can. I guess at 230k, it’s fair game.

Mine turns on and then turns off right away.

When you turn on your car, and turn the AC on - does your condenser far turn on and stay on? Please let me know. I looked through threads to see if anyone reported a broken fan/motor - didn’t see anything.

I'm having some issues with my AC, hopefully someone can chime in and help out.. Background: 2004 GX470 ~230,000 miles. Issue: When the car is idling or I am in stop / go traffic - the AC blows warm air. When I am driving at normal speeds, say above 30mph, the AC blows cold air. What I have...
