Re: 1997 Lexus LS 400 --Fan blower not getting voltage or...
Change the fan resistor it should be located under dash near the glove box ther's a rectangular electrical plug going to it it should be located somewhere on the heater box. These usually go bad because of the constant condensation and temp. changes present.
avid 101, Fan BLOWER, not the cooling fan. My problem is in the cabin air system. This car utilizes a electronic module fed by a 50a fusible link>Heater relay>Module>fan. Ive replaced the module, though, due to owners budget, It is a used part. The fan runs when connected directly to battery. Im mystified on this one, and limited by available reference material. Lexus is almost over-engineered, and just complicates the issue. I am a mechanic and help others here on fixya as well. Just putting a note out to other mechanic's who may have more Lexus cars under their' belt than I do (which is practically none) Thanks for your time and thoughts....it is appreciated!
Take it to schucks or autozone being careful of not over heating it and have then do a scan of the computer, however I don't think the computer would turn on the fan but a temprature sensor would and the signal from the temprature sensor would activate the fan relay. some sensors are on the radiator and others are on the block by the thermostat and some have two, one for the temp gauge and 02 sensor, and one to operate the fan itself. Now if the radiator was low on water it would cause it not to function, have you check it? not the overflow tank but the radiator itself?
