Lexus LS Blower Motor Issue

Thanks for the suggestion. Where's the blower motor resistor usually located? And could a bad resistor cause the error code, or does that point more to the motor itself?

On my BMW, it was near the blower motor, under the dash on the passenger side. Access was a pain. As for the error code, it could be either the resistor or the motor triggering it. Without proper diagnostics, it's hard to say. Honestly, you might want to visit a workshop. They can pinpoint the problem quickly.

Understood, thanks for the advice. I took it to a workshop as you suggested. The blower motor was indeed defective and has now been replaced. The total repair cost was 365€. I appreciate your help.

I had a similar issue with my old BMW 3 Series. The climate control stopped blowing air, and it turned out to be a bad blower motor resistor. It's not exactly the same as your Lexus, but it might be worth checking if your car has a similar part. It controls the fan speed.
