I have a 2000 lexus rx 300. clicking arond or near center consul

I have a 2000 lexus rx 300. Sometimes there is a clicking noise that comes from around the center consul. It sounds something like the cd changer when changing cds. I thought that this was all that the noise was until it started happening more often. The CD changer is in the glove box. And the sound is deffinatly not coming from there. Any suggestions what my noise might be?

    I should clarify what I meant by console. I meant the area around where all the heating and cooling controls are located. Tha noise seems to be coming from under the dash. Just to the right of center.

The location and type of noise u hear is most likely coming from the electric blend door temperature control actuator.when they fail the ting gears inside make a clicking noise like this, the location you gave is dead on to where this part is located.

Could be exhaust vibrating, or wire or tape dragging, As long as car visually looks and acts fine, then I would not worry until you notice somthing that doesn't feel right. the only thing under console is exhaust,

    This may be either a relay, or a leaky vacuum hose or actuator. The actuators are the vacuum controlled devices that move vent flaps.

SOURCE: Lexus Cd-Changer

lol had this prob so many times, you will find that you have moisture in the cd exchanger and the way i found this out was on removing my cds first thing in the morning a noticed very slight misting on most of the cds. .i put the wifes hair dryer and blasted warm air into it for a good 15 minutes waited till it cooled down cleaaned carefully my cds replaced and away i went. hasten to add that this was temporary a few days later i got the odd cd not playing . i notice the prob more in cold weather and if the car has not been used for a few days. the boot maybe damp .. good luck .stu

SOURCE: 6 disc CD changer is stuck

This happened to me a few years ago. It wouldn't eject the CD for a year. I literally smacked the side of the dash where the cd player is located and it came out the next time I pressed eject. I found that same solution in a couple of forums. I had to do it a few times. I think the CD just has to allign with something to eject properly.

You don't need to change diff oils very often after first initial stage (usually about 25000km) After that about 80000km capacity should be in manual Probably about a quart each but just fill them up till oil starts running out cause the hole where you put the oil in is the level

Burned out light bulb (# 9) in the manual, how do I change it on my 200 lexus rx 300?

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} Lift the hatch. The tall center light is located behind the upper hatch inside panel. There are two panels need to remove. One panel is on the right, the other on the left. To remove the panels you have to use flat screw driver to pry out the panel in several locations. (These panels are secured by several small metal clips.) Be careful to collect all these clips and replace them on the back of the panel. You will need these clips to replace the panel later on. After remove the panels, you will be able to locate the screws on the tall center stop light assembly. Remove those screws and cover. After replacing light bulb. Assemble everything in reverse order. Remember, the metal clips have to set on the back of the two panels not the car body.
