Had an AC failure and had to get it fixed. Ended up taking to dealership since the LC/LX shop was backed up for a month.
The dealership diagnosed the failure of the compressor...needed AC receiver drier, compressor and compressor clutch. I wasn't excited to pay dealer pricing but they were willing let me order the parts from another local lexus dealership that I get all my parts from at 28% off msrp. All in all, I didn't get the gut pain of paying a dealership to do the work as they discounted the labor, let me order own parts and had a loaner for almost 3 weeks bc they gave me a wrong part number.
Picked it up and was good for half a day and then it came back with a compressor lock code B1422. Took it back in and they thought it might be the AC amplifier. I am not convinced and think it might be a leak but can't find too much in the archives on this issue.
Any thoughts?
