auto climate control

2012 ls 460 AWD
auto climate control does not come on when I start car. It must be turned on manually. This just started about a week ago

There is a menu on the nav screen to enable or disable auto climate control, I think.

Search, and read. This has to be one of the most frequently asked questions on this particular board.

Could be 2 things:

The filter was not fully seated when they put it in
The car was not in recirculate (door open) when they changed it and they forced it open by hand, resulting in either a disconnected or broken linkage.

All are easy and cheap/free to fix, unless they broke the linkage and in that case you can expect to spend many hundreds of dollars at Lexus for the replacement parts.

Good luck.

disconnected linkage... easy ?

Sure the fix takes about 3 seconds to do but, to get to it, you need to take the whole glove box off. I had the same issue when I got my car (didn't notice on the test drive), it took about 2 hours to do but, the entire glove box needs to come off the car.

It's fairly easy if you follow step by step and take your time but, for the complete non-handy person it could be very scary.

You were right. The filter was not seated correctly. I took it out and reseated it and everything works . Thank you for saving me a few bucks.
