Default 99 RX300 AC Blower no loger working

My 99 RX300 recently blew a fuse for the AC blower so I replaced it. It worked for a day then stopped. I tried another fuse, but now it will not come on at all.

Is there a realy someplace that I can change or am I looking at going under the dash and swapping out the blower motor or blower control unit ?

Thanks, Chet

Well I found the solution to the AC blower not working. It ended up being the Blower motor control module. Pretty easy to change, 1 screw and a plug is all that holds it in place. Its kind of nestled behind some of the duct servos and other stuff so you need to wiggle it a bit to get it out. They are however expensive ($126 to $300) depending on where you shop. I scored a used Denso one for $75 from ebay that worked just fine though.

Thank you for sharing.

The controller is not hermetically sealed. When mine blew out ... I lost control of the speed. I looked at some pictures of the controllers being sold on the bay and decided to pony up for a new one.

It seems like a part that fails after number of years.
