do you remember the part number for that denso condenser ? i was looking on rockauto and dont see it there anymore unfortunately

Hi All, It seems that I have a leak at the bottom of my AC condenser on my 2000 Lexus LX470, and Im debating how I should fix it. Ive attached two pictures below, one of the location of the leak and one with the UV light to show the green dye. I noticed the leak was not blowing as cold as it...

Would there still be any airflow that would come from the roof vents? even just for airflow?

Hi All, I had a shop cap off the rear AC and am curious if there should still be airflow coming out of the vents in the second and third row. A couple of my passangers in the second and third row informed me that there is no airflow coming of these vents. I would think that there would still be...

He placed a sticker on the airbox with the proper amount of refrigerant, I will check when i get home today.

Hi All, Yesterday i had some weird AC issues to the point where it stopped working and i wanted to see if anyone has any ideas as to why this happened. Some context: I bought my 2000 LX470 in 11/22 and the AC was not working, I gave it to a shop in 11/24 and they deleted the rear AC and...

I had no issues with mine until a freak winter storm caused my alternator casing to crack and lock up. upon starting the car it snapped the belt and i knew it was time for a new alternator. I was in a pinch and used the autozone replacement and havent had any issues for the last 3 years knock on...

It was expensive because I had a dealer perform the repair, I didnt have my tools and easy access to the part and was on a long road trip and needed to maintain my schedule

SOLVED!!!!! I wanted to update everyone on the fix for this issue, the dealer replaced the L4 Switch and the car drove fine after this. It wasn't cheap as it was at a dealer rate and dealer parts prices. However, I did not have a choice as I was thousands of miles away from home and it would...

Yes it is the sensor that tells the ECM that the car is in low range. The dealer confirmed the ABS sensors are reading properly and cleared the codes and they did not return, the only code that stayed was the L4 switch. They jumped the connector to the L4 switch and found that the codes went...

Thanks for the response, The car went into overdrive today however would keep kicking itself out of nowhere, I gave in and dropped the car of at the dealer and they are saying that the L4 switch has gone bad. Im trying to confirm with them that this is the root cause before authorizing the...

I saw your write up regarding the similar issue (thanks for posting!!), I unplugged both front ABS sensors and it did not seem to fix the issue (despite all of the ABS, VSC, Brake lights coming on) I was able to limp the car another ~400 miles closer to my destination and will try unplugging the...

Hi all, I’m having a serious issue with my 2000 Lexus LX470 not shifting into 4th/overdrive. I was driving a couple days ago and got an ABS and VSC lights while driving I pulled over and and turned off the car and restarted it, the lights went away and I thought it was a fluke. The brake pedal...

Hi all, I recently got these HELLA black magic lights for my favorite four letter word (free) and am struggling with wiring it on my 2000 Lexus LX470. I noticed that the bulb has two filaments and I was planning to wire the low beam to the fog lights and the high beam to the cars high beam. I...

I want to thank you all for the help. Upon removing my old flange I saw some wear from the non-OEM cv axle as seen below: Seeing this wear alone might be hard to see however comparing this to the new Axle Flange its easy to see thats its pretty worn out. If you are having significant...
