Hey Guys, I want to replace my magnetic clutch relay fuse in an atttempt to correct my AC issue based upon some recommendation from this forum. I am totally inept when it come to mechnical problem solving. I've located the fuse and tried to remove it but I'm simply afraid to really try because I do not want to make things worst than what they are. Can someone please tell me what is the best way to remove this fuse?

 

Welcome to the board. I've been a member for years and technically don't own a Lexus but have several in the family. The Blinking AC light is caused by the AC RPM Sensor / speed sensor not getting a reading from the compressor. To confirm, if you turn on your AC, the compressor clutch will engage (click) and begin to blow cold air. After 3-4 seconds, it will disengage and the light will blink as it is not receiving a signal from the sensor.

Check the harness on the front of the compressor. I'd unplug and re-plug it back in. If that doesn't fix your issue... Take a look at the following article:

Sensor is located on the bottom of the compressor (must be removed to replace) which means you must evac and re-fill the AC system.

I wish you luck!

Replace the magnetic clutch relay. In the fuse box under the hood. Don't be scared and it wont shock you. It's white and about 70 bucks from your Lexus dealer.

 

You can buy used on e-bay for$ 10-$20
