    LX450 front blower motor fix. Resistor and power transistor

    Long story made short. Some internal debris jammed up the Hvac blower fan. The fan was left on while not spinning. After clearing the debris out of the squirrel cage, the fan would only blow when on ‘High’. All other speeds were dead. After searching, found this post which gave the best lx450...

    Help with coolant leak…

    I’ve developed a coolant leak, but can’t find/see the source. Somewhere on radiator, US passenger side, top, and front (just below where the horn is mounted). Under the cross support. There are no fittings that I am aware of. Any suggestions before I tear apart looking for it? ‘97 lx450 180K...

    AC clutch won't engage after head gasket.

    Just a heads up on what I found out when the AC clutch would not engage after head gasket job. A.c. was perfect before head work. Freon was ok. Added 1/2 pound to bring to spec. Fuses were ok. Hi/low pressure switch tested ok. Relays behind glove box tested ok. Coolant temp switch under...

    RTH - Head Gasket complete - AC compressor won't work

    I just was wondering if what the solution was here? Just got truck back from shop and new head gasket but no ac. Relays in glove box seem to function, freon is full, compressor runs when 'jumped'and blows cold. Plugs on compressor and pressure switch (by usds battery) reset. Any possible...

    Front mud flap question

    IIRC either the boards come off or you have to trim the flaps to allow the boards to fit in them... assuming your using OEM flaps.

    New thermostat = New coolant leak

    Last week finished up a radiator replacement including thermostat, gasket, hoses, etc... and have now found a coolant leak that wasn't there before. I can't tell exactly where it's coming from. It is only leaking when hot and driving. Have not been able to reproduce it sitting in the garage...

    She's squirting all over! Pics! Radiator leak.

    Thanks for the reply's... It is dilute toyota 'red'. It was dilute to begin with, plus I added a gallon or more water this morning before I found the leak. I do like the idea of doing a real good flush before the new install though!

    Woke up this morning to a large puddle in the garage. After heating her up, she started to squirt all over. Out of the seam on the top of radiator. :bang: There has been no trauma, no fender benders, or the like. Not freezing weather nor been really hot (95 degrees or so). :meh:What is the...

    Why does my starter hate the cold?

    Last year when I replaced the contacts, I also replaced the plunger. Looked a lot like the pics above. After about 2 months with no improvement, I re-pulled the starter and re-set the contacts, even though they looked good. The cold seems to be the only variable making a difference... :hhmm...

    Why does my starter hate the cold?

    Background first. Last winter my 2.0 starter began to 'grind' and not engage flywheel when first cranked. Immediately turn key again and everything fires up as normal. I replaced contacts hoping that would solve the problem, but it did not. We got through the winter, to the warmer weather and...
