My wife has a 2000 Rx300 given to us by her parents last year.

Just recently she notified me that the windshield washers were no longer squirting (sigh). So I lifted the hood today, blew out the two lines at the T junction of the hood and after checking the fuse decided the motor must be toast. When I go to turn on the washers I don't hear a motor hum or anything. I also checked the connection to the motor- solid.

ANYWAY, local autoparts store wanted $190 for the replacement motor and couldn't get me one for a few days. I see a bunch available online $23 supposedly for the 2003 RX300 but the pics aren't right for the electrical connection. I hate our local Lexus dealers and will not give them a single cent of my money.

SO:
1. What is a reliable place online for OEM and non-OEM parts (such as this washer motor)?

2. Can these generic sites be trusted for $23?

Thanks everyone!

 

Welcome! I have used l-tunedparts.com and irontoad.com a lot, and they are great. I like supporting my local dealer, but the online savings are too great to ignore. You'll find the parts diagrams helpful, too. We have a 99 for my daughter which I love having for a vehicle. You're lucky to have a known history of the vehicle, also. Good luck!

 

Thanks for the links...

I saw those during my search of the forums but unfortunately neither seem to carry washer motors or brake fluid reservoir caps (the bobber sensor is shot on hers)...

Any other links/ideas?

Thanks!

 

Irontoad would have them, just not listed on the website.

OE only on this one since it is a pretty unique pump (spins one way for front and the other for rear).

Carson has them for $62.29.

Supposed to be a pretty easy job.


I think this is the cap you are looking for too:

I have bought parts from Carson; good to deal with. Also, try Team-Lexus-USA.

 

I buy all my Lexus Parts from www.parts.com, they ship from Tampa Bay Lexus in Florida. I usually call them up ahead of time and they give you all the part #'s you need for your order, if its not listed on the site.
