HVAC fan noise
When my hvac fan is on low I can hear a slight noise, not quite a tick more like a bearing, has anyone else experienced this and what is the remedy?

Have you checked your cabin filter ? Have mice breached the cabin filter ?

i had one that had the fan come up off the shaft, the spring clip was loose and then the fan would sometimes hit the shroud. not on a lexus. took off the clip, smashed it a bit, reinstalled and was fixed.

Embarrassed to admit this but I had a noise from the fan and bought a replacement fan. Dropped the fan only to discover a twig had made it into the housing. Returned the replacement fan minus restocking but all is good now. I would suggest dropping the fan and taking look first before doing anything. From what I recall, it was pretty straightforward to get to fan.

Can the motor be lubricated? Mine was chirping pretty loud the other day when I started it below zero. Got quieter after it warmed up. But it sounded like a little lube wouldn't hurt... but not all electric motors have accessible oiling ports.

Normal for AC water to drip underneath GX460 the frame
Hello there
I just bought the car a few months ago and today while idling at my garage with AC on I have noticed water is dripping underneath the car through the stamping holes on the frame?
is that normal ? Shouldn’t the ac water be drained through a pipeline? Wouldn’t water drain through the frame causing corrosion and rust in the long run
Thank you all for helping out the newbie

Check this thread where the OP used a hose to redirect.

Yeah as mentioned above, there is an AC drain line, but it's too short. You can DIY or find AC extension kits that will get that drip off your frame. Highly recommended.

... not as if this amount of water is an issue compared to road spray ...etc ... but if it makes one feel better ...

My mom's 2010 threw a "Climate Control System Error" message
Spent about an hour messing about. Checked the filter for any blend door issues, etc.
Finally tested the relay and saw that it was not engaging. $20 fix thankfully
