It's either low on charge, has bad wiring, needs a new pressure switch or needs a new clutch.
You will have to figure out why: This the 90% of the time failur: Is there Freon in the system, if there is not a minimum pressure, usually 17 PSI, the compressor will not run. Is the compressor and clutch capable of working? Is the fuse in good shape.
Lexus Ls 400
check the a/c clutch when those go out the whole system shorts out
can some tell me where the port is the 1993 lexus so I can recharge air conditioner
It could be low on coolant. If your vehicle is a 2002-2004 it is probably the magnetic clutch relay as it is a common problem with those years. It is located in the fuse box and a new one runs around $60.
To replace the AC compressor on a 1992 Lexus SC300, first, disconnect the negative battery terminal and relieve the AC system pressure. Remove the drive belt, then disconnect the electrical connector and refrigerant lines from the compressor. Unbolt the compressor from its mounting bracket and install the new compressor, reattaching the refrigerant lines and electrical connections. Finally, recharge the AC system with refrigerant and reconnect the battery.
it would be a 5 by 6 belt for a magnum for a Lexus you would need a 3 by 7
Look forward to a bill of over $2000! I had my 92 Lexus LS400 converted for $2,456! :(
You add freon to the low side fitting,top front,on the ac compressor
A whining noise from the AC compressor in your 1996 Lexus SC 400 could indicate several issues. It might be due to low refrigerant levels, which can cause the compressor to struggle and produce noise. Additionally, a worn-out bearing or internal component failure within the compressor itself can also lead to whining. It's advisable to have the system checked by a professional to diagnose and resolve the issue.
You need to have a mechanic service your car. The flashing light means the compressor is not engaging.
Are you sure it is the A/C Compressor and not the power steering pump? LS400, SC 300 and SC 400 are known to have power steering pump issues that leak onto the compressor causing ac compressor failure. Replace the pump as soon as you see a leak.
