I got a 2002 Lexus ES 300 . I have two questions #1 when I first start my car and turn my air on it squeaks really bad in drive then it stops . Do I need a another compressor ? The air is still very cold . Question #2 my fan use to blow very hard . I think it had five bars for the level of air . But now I only got three . Can I fix this or do I have to buy a new compressor and fan motor ? Thanks for your help ! Black whip

The squeak is likely just your AC comp belt, if it still gets cold your comp should likely be fine. The "3 bars" could be anything from a climate control board logic error to a simple fix like your fan speed rheostat. I've never seen one of these where the fan speed only worked up to 3 clicks. If the rheostat goes bad you usually have only high speed, not sure if there is even a rheostat on the digital climate controls tho, so you may just need a new climate unit, but I'd ask around more before just replacing
