Default Weird noise, have no clue what it is

So I was driving my 2gs when all of sudden this weird noise started to happen(see video below). Its definitely not the radio, i checked that already. If this has happened to anyone or if you have any ideas I'd appreciate it.

Sounds like servo motors probably in my opinion. There are 3 of them that we usually replace that come from behind the radio to the left and right of it.

Do a search in this sub-forum to find lots of diy and information about it. That's how I learned how to replace mine.

You can diagnose the Air Conditioning system and see what codes show up. On thy AC control panel, hold down both RECIRCULATION and AUTO buttons. Then turn the key to On. The screen will go into diagnostic mode and numbers will blink. See the list here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/per...eed-codes.html

Found out it was the mode button on the climate control servo motor, I guess for some reason it was stuck on one mode, I just cycled them a few times and now the noise is gone. I will buy a new one though just so i don't have o worry about it again. Thanks for the help
