Lexus GX 2004-09 :: A/C Fan Work Only For Few Seconds After Adding Refrigerant?


Jul 1, 2012

Since then I have added some refrigerant, changed the Magnetic Clutch Relay. Fan kicks on only for a few seconds and then goes off. Pressure shows that it might be a little high on refrigerant. Could this be so that it would not allow the fan to turn on and stay on. when I let some refrigerant out it seems that it will kick on and stay on. I have not let any more out because to me this really does not make sense to me, hence why I am asking some more questions.

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: AC On RX330 Works Intermittently / Refrigerant Level Is Fine

The AC on our '04 RX330 has started acting up. Refrigerant level is fine. When the system works it's ice cold. It'll run more often than not, but occasionally the AC compressor just won't kick on. I searched the forum and found issues in other toyotas and lexus models with the magnetic clutch relay but for the life of me I can't find where that is on the RX. I also saw reference to an AC "servo" in another thread. What controls the AC compressor and what to check?

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Adding Hitch And Nav To Base Model?

I am interested in a 2004 and wanted to know if I add the curt hitch .. Or maybe oem one Has the curves cover and not notched or flat does that mean it should be made after 5/2004 and could use the hitch that is tubular? Not sure if the curt version matter for any of these

Also I heard they may be prewired for towing, how to look for besides the trans cooler, if they don't have this then it seems too much work.. and I should stay away?

Also doesn't have nav, so I wanted to know if it is harder to add aftermarket screen to non nav than one with factory nav?

It seems like this is a base trim do you know in 2004 what feature might be missing from this base model That I am "missing out" on?

Found a pic of the actual car under bumper built 9/04 Does it look normal. I think I see the towing wiring box there.. was the hitch port installed option? But it looks like it's ready for one.

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Cranked For About 5 Seconds To Get Stared

My truck always fires up and starts immediately, however, this morning it cranked for about 5 seconds and than started. never had it crank that long to start. Ive been using regular unleaded for the last year without any problems. I hoping it was just a fluke, and I filled it up with premium fuel. Could it be signs of something to come? fuel filter, fuel pump etc.?

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Starter Crank Over And Over For About Five Seconds And Then Stops

Well I dunno what to do. I tried to start the car many times. The starter (or what ever part it is) seems to crank over and over for about five seconds and then stops. Nothing. Battery is fine. Everything electrical powers up. Just not the engine.

I just recently had the complete timing belt service done and oil change about two weeks ago. That's about it. Now I am a sitting duck tonight....

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Door Ajar Overhead Lights Come On And Within A Few Seconds Both Go Out

both this winter and last winter as it gets colder my GX will indicate that a door is ajar and the overhead lights come on and then within a few seconds they both go out. this seems to occur when accelerating from a stop and resolves once the vehicle gets over about 15 mph. in my estimation this seems to be related to the rear cargo door as if it partially opens just enough to let the sensor knows its slightly open. the dealer has been unable to duplicate it and it only happens when its around freezing or lower.

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: AC Makes Hisses / Slurping Noise About Every 10 Seconds

I was driving my wife's GX on the freeway, and I noticed about every 10 seconds the AC makes that sort of hissing/slurping sound. All AC systems make that noise, but usually it's more like once every minute or two. Her car, however, was making the noise like every 10 seconds, and it also seemed a lot louder than my car.

The car ac seems to cool fine, but I can't imagine it's supposed to sound like that. Is this an indication of low charge, or do all GX Ac systems sound like this?

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Brake Master Cylinder Keep Compressing For About 4-6 Seconds Even While Driving

I recently bought a 2004 GX 470 with 89k miles. My dad did the 90k service like a champ and it runs very smoothly. However, I have recently noticed what I believe to be the brake master cylinder, which on a regular basis, has to keep compressing for about 4-6 seconds even while driving. We filled the fluid and it seemed to stop as I was pumping the brakes to test. But the next day it started again and the fluid is still at MAX level.

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: GX470 Transmission Intermittently Does Not Engage Into Drive For 6 Seconds

I have had an issue with my GX470 almost since I bought it in 2008. It will sometimes not engage in drive after backing out of a parking space.

It usually happens when it is warm and the car has been driving for awhile then I park for lunch or an errand. I come back start up the car put it into reverse backout of the car space and nothing for a good 5-6 seconds. Seems a lot longer when cars are waiting to take your space and honking.

Anyway I have been reporting it to Lexus at every service and getting a no trouble found. Over time it is occurring more regularly and it even happened at the dealership but of course I was the only one in my car at the time.

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Motor Turns Over For Roughly 3-4 Seconds Before Starting In Freezing Temp

Noticed that motor turns over for roughly 3-4 seconds before starting when their GX has sat for awhile in well below freezing temperatures?

It's not slow turning over just takes a little bit longer to actually catch and start.

When the motor is warm or the outside temperature is closer to freezing or above I find that it turns over for no more than about 2 seconds before it starts.

I am thinking the longer turning over when cold is a good thing since the motor is starting to pump oil when it is turning over and allowing the internals to get lubricated before starting and revving.

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: RX330 Takes A Few More Seconds To Turn Over Engine Till It Starts

I bought my 2004 RX 330 last year with 110k miles. It starts up every time with no problem, except that It takes a few more seconds to turn over the engine till it starts. I have to keep the key turned longer that my other cars where all I need to do is just turn to start for a second only. I just replaced the battery and that did not change anything.

Is this normal for my RX 330, could I need new spark plugs? It's never been a problem in winter or summer.

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Right Side Windows And Auto Down Don't Work

Last week I had a strange issue after trying to install the HID lights. When driving, I noticed the autodown did not work, and the right side windows would not work from the driver door, only.

I brought the car to the vehicle and they said they did nothing, it worked when they got it. Sure enough, it was working fine when I picked it up and ever since then.

After they installed the spoiler, I noticed the same exact thing! Now putting 2 and 2 together, when I installed the HID lights, I had to remove the battery to mount the ballast and didn't think anything of it. When they installed the spoiler, they also had to disconnect and reconnect the battery.

Possibly something about reconnecting the battery is causing issues with the Auto window switch, and the window control to the right side, from the driver door.

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: 2008 RX400h Rear Fog Light Does Not Work

I bought a RX400h 2008 (from my dad) last week. I checked the rear fog light today, it does not work. Have some questions:

1) How many rear fog lights on 400h, only on the left side or both left and right sides?

2) My dad had never turn on the rear fog light, still it does not work, bulb or fuse problem?

3) Is it common that the rear fog light does not work?

4) Where is the fuse for the rear fog light located on the 400h?

Camry :: Windshield Wipers Work For 2 To 3 Seconds, Then Stop

I have a 2.4L 2003 Camry. No modifications other than a new HU that's been in place for years. I do also have a Sirius radio that plugs into 12v socket.

About a year ago, the only speed that will work for my windshield wipers is the high speed. Every now and then, i can use the other speeds, but they will only work for a few seconds. Recently, I was driving the highway, and out of nowhere, with the wiper switch in the OFF position, my wipers started working. I had to switch it to the fast speed a few times then OFF to get them to stop.

Thinking it was a motor issue, i first took both arms off, then ran the wipers. They work perfectly. It's as if as soon as I put the arms back on, they become "too heavy" for the motor, and won't work in any of the other settings (I guess that's the best way that my mind makes sense of it.

I also experience the door lock issue (sometimes using the key fob will only lock/unlock 3 out of the 4 doors)...

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: Rear Door Open / Close Work Occasionally?

After owning the truck for a little over a year I figure it's time to fix the little stuff staring off with the rear door. When pressing any of the 3 buttons to open/close it I get it to work 50% of the time. That being said, I can't pinpoint a specific bad part.

Suburban :: Power Window Will Work For 5-10 Seconds Upon Initial Startup

I have a '94 Chevy Suburban with a driver's side power window problem. The window will work for 5-10 seconds upon initial startup but once I stop and try to restart, the window won't do anything. If I pull up on the window while pressing the window switch it will start working again whereas I can let go of the window and keep the button depressed until I reach the desired level I want the window to be. At times I get nothing up or down by pressing the switch leading me to believe it's the motor. It seems to have the most trouble going up rather than down. I am not sure what the problem is, i.e. regulator, motor, electrical relay.
