'07 GS350, 90,000 miles. I shorted the alternator hot lead while changing alternator. Blew fusible link and starter relay. I replaced the fusible link and starter relay and everything worked again, except the a/c. A/C blows only hot air. Compressor turns and blower works fine. I took it to the local dealer, who said the a/c compressor shaft was broken. Cost to replace $1,750.00. It seems like too much of a coincidence that the shaft just happened to break while I was replacing the alternator and a few electric parts. It worked fine before I changed the alternator, and was not started again until all work complete. Has anyone had a similar experience? Seems like it should be related to the electric problem, since it worked before I started working on it.
