I also had P0441, P0446, P0455, and P2418 on my 2005 lx470 and was told I need a new charcoal canister. Instead I did some troubleshooting. I tested the VSV under the hood with a 9V battery and heard the solenoid click when voltage was applied to the two leads. There is another VSV or purge...

I just had the same issue, I replaced the VSV by the charcoal canister with Dorman 911-601 VSV and it works just fine

Did you do the mod? Maybe a bad switch or loose wires. Also check your fluid level. Maybe you have a leak and that would put it in low

I've done it on my 05 LX but it wasn't easy. A lot of cutting and making stuff fit. Not that it wasn't worth it

The genetic switch, I'm the guy that made the install video.

Just wanted to chime in. I did this mod over a year ago and have not had any lights or codes come up. I also have to say that I hardly ever use the switch but it's just nice to have that option

I realize this is an old post but I'm also looking for an OEM skid plate for my 2005 LX. Hoping someone has upgraded their skid plate and still has the original. Let me know, thanks! Tom

No, just the bottle opener lol

Nevermind, I found a bezel

Does anyone know where I could get the side adapters for a double din stereo, I ordered the panel with the oversized opening. Thanks!

Thanks, it was a lucky find. So far everything seems to be working

I did! I found wiring diagrams in a 6k page shop manual for both A/C amplifiers. The 3 knob is simple, just one lead (MGC) sends signal directly to the magnetic clutch. The newer amplifier sends two signals (AC1) and (AC/S) to the ECM and then the ECM sends signal to the magnetic clutch. I ended...

Making good progress....this may actually work!

So I ran into a problem with the 3 knob conversion. I can't get the A/C to turn on, when I first tested the unit it was cool out so the air felt cold and the switch seemed to work. I plugged it in yesterday to do some more testing and realized the compressor does not kick on. After much research...
