Footwell Mode by jstrib

The footwell mode is not working in my RX300.... It is only blowing air through the top vents. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? The air/hear are working fine, but it is getting cold and want to have warm air on my feet.

That is a huge difference. My 2002 is always around 3k at 70mph. Never been at or near 2k at that speed. 4k seems unreal. A dumb suggestion, but i have had it happen: check and make sure the Overdrive Button is pushed in on the side of the gear shift. If it isn't, the orange O/D light will be on on the dash.

The problem was solved by the replacement of 2 of the 4 oxygen air flow fuel sensors. (I think that's what they are called). Anyway, the car is running normally now.

2002 Lexus RX300 Questions by player4
Nov 15, 2009 (12:28 pm)

Hey guys, my parents are currently looking to buy a 2002 RX300 AWD with 115,000 miles on it for $12995, it is a great price considering the condition and features that the car has, ive already done KBB and TMV and pricing seems right.
However, i have some questions about the car maybe some of you can help me.
 
1. How do i know if the car has AWD, also how does the AWD work? Is it full-time running all 4 wheels, or is it front-wheel drive based then switched to AWD like Acura/Honda?
 
2. How can i tell if it has HID's by just looking at pics? Since this generation does not have projectors like the second gen, its kind of hard to tell, but i know that some first gens do have HIDs, i just wanna know if this one does.
 
3. I know the car has VSC (becase of badging) however it puzzles me that some have the TRACtion button on the center console and others dont, in this case the one my parents are looking at does not have the TRAC button but it does have VSC. Do ones that have VSC have TRAC as well? Im kind of confused on this one.
 
Thanks in advance

One of my tail lights is out on my RX300 and want to know how difficult it is to get to the bulb or should I have it done at dealer?

I think only FWD's have TC off button.

1. You can tell from the VIN number, if the fourth digit is G = 4x2, if H = 4x4.
2. I don't think HIDs were offered in 2002 but just turning on the headlights should reveal if they are HID by the blueish color.
3. I believe VSC and TRAC are both standard features.
Some of these options vary from year-to-year so you may wish to verify the above information. Assure that the timing belt and water pump were replaced as this is recommended at 90,000 miles. Hope this helps a bit.

HID's were an option starting with the '01 model. Due to the addition of TC, traction Control, the VC was made virtually non-functional and then eliminated entirely for the RX330 model run. Making the RX series, like the HL & Sienna, basically a "One-Wheel" drive vehicle, only to change with the RX350 2010 model.
 
Prior to the adoption of DBW for the RX330 model the RX series was HIGHLY subject to premature transaxle failure, exceedingly so for the '99 & early '00 series.

RX300 rear main seal failure by howard41
Nov 16, 2009 (1:39 pm)

The dealer has diagnosed an oil leak from my 1999 RX 300 as a rear main seal failure. He wants $1275 to repair based on 12 hours. Is this a reasonable estimate? Are there any shops in the Harrisburg PA area that could do it reliably for less?
