Default A/c problem/repair

Hello my ac stopped blowing cold, so I ran a diagnosis on the system as the manual says. I got a blinking 13, looked more on this forum and found out that it's called a "evaporator temperature sensor" or "thermestor" as the lexus dealer knows it by, the part was 20$ and I found where it's at but can't seem to get the darn thing out :/ . Any help is appreciated!

If you spent any time at all reading this forum you would know it has many knowledgable folks who generously share their time and expertise to help all who seek help. If you get no response, you can safely assume it is because people do not know the answer to your question.

I don't know about getting that out. My a/c just started acting up yesterday. The compressor seems to be turning on, and it has freon. I can feel a tiny bit of cold air through the vents. I'm thinking that it is the a/c blower motor that is out.

See if this helps:

That's kind of what I was planning to do, but didn't know if that would be a good idea. I'll definitely try that out. What source do you guys recommend for buying the blower motor?

I would strongly suggest denso for the part a few of them on ebay for a decent price. I got one a few weeks ago from this company called 4 seasons and the fan was complete crap it was 50$ new but had to send it back cause it was making a terrible whirling noise
