Do you have an ohm meter?

Read your owners manual but I think RAD1 RAD2 are the fuse labels. Could be mistaken.

FWIW a kind gesture goes a long ways towards continued support! Just sayin...

Sorry just frustrated. I checked those fuses and they looked good.

So I had the shop put on my new shocks and mounts and had them look at my a/c. They said it reclaimed .66. They recharged it for me. They sprayed it down with the dye so they can see where the leak is coming from. So if the cooling fan isn't blowing ever could it be possible that there isn't a leak and it's just the cooling fns not operating being the reason the a/c doesn't work properly?

So I swapped around the relays for FAN1, FAN2 & FAN3.

When I unplugged FAN2 or FAN3 the radiator fan on the passenger side turns off. Do those relays both control that specific fan??

I didnt noticed anything when switching around relays in the FAN1 spot.

Are the fan plugs the same? Could you swap them? Might have to disassemble them.

Looks like they’re under $150 on rockauto.

The entire assembly is around the same price from what I am seeing online. Unless the full assembly doesnt come with the motors???

As for the plugs... are you referring to the connections that go into the motors? They aren't long enough to reach the opposite side.

I figured, that why I said you may need to disassemble them.

The fan assemblies that auto parts stores, on-line and brick, have the fan motors. That is why it is called an assembly. If it didn't have the fan motors, all you would be getting is a plastic shroud.

But those assemblies are not Lexus parts, which is why the price is less. And sometimes the fan motors are not 2 speed like the factory used.

So the link below looks like the right part correct? Seems like a rather easy diy job as well??

The part number for the motor on e-bay is for the left side. It will fit your 2012.

As for how easy it will be to replace, I don't know. Haven't had to replace mine yet.
