My ac light is blinking and blowing hot most of the time. When the ac does work it only works for about 5-10 minutes, then strats blowing hot air. Dealership says that the compressor is locking up and wants over $1100 to fix. Can anyone help me find if this is true or not? Thanks, Lou

 

What model? What year is the car?

Welcome to Club Lexus!

According to your profile your ES is a 2002. In which case, you likely need to replace the magnetic clutch relay with the updated part.

There's more info. in this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/es3...t-working.html

Look at post #10.

In the future, please use the search function first. And, if you can't find what you are looking for, feel free to post a thread.

Well, I popped the fuse/relay cover off and the Relay that is that spot "G" is # 90080-87026, not the one that he says is suppose to be in there, also there is no relay with the part number of # 90987-02028 any where in the box. So now what do I do?

 

Assuming that you identified the right relay, try Sewwel Lexus online parts.

Type in the year and model number of your car and find the AC relay. It will list the right part number for your Car

Also do a google search on the part number that you have and see what comes up.
