For one, I'd say fix the underlying problem. That appears to be a radiator fan, so guessing the compressor engages, yet the fan doesn't, killing cooling efficiency? A bad fan relay?

Do you have good pressure when the compressor engages, and did you get he codes from the a/c cluster?

When I turn it on from the controls the fans from the engine turn on Its just not blowing any air. Switch in dash does nothing not Turning on the blower.

Pull the codes from the climate cluster, find out what the cluster thinks is wrong with the system.

I'm sure that what you're experiencing has happened before. Yet first we need what the car says is wrong with itself.

WTH is ghetto wiring!? There are only two options; good or bad wiring? How to you classify ghetto wiring? Is there such a thing as classy wiring, affluent wiring, or middle class wiring? This side of Club Lexus is trash now...exactly why I stay on the LS side nowadays.

Obviously you don't stay in the LS section. Do you all meet for wine tasting in your super classy LS Lexus'? The "PC" police is here. Everyone watch out .
