Air mixer damper - AC blows warm on the driver’s side Lexus GX470
How to check and replace the air mixer damper for AC and Heat on a 2005 Lexus GX470.
Turns out that my issue - cool air for the passenger and warm air for the driver - wasn’t the damper after all, it was low freon refrigerant.
In this video we go through the procedure to check and replace the damper and how to tell if you are low on freon 134a.
How to add 134a Coolant to your car.
I really like Eric’s walkthrough of topping off your AC, Chris Fix and those other quick fix videos don’t go into enough detail. Eric is great.

Locating Sprinkler Irrigation Wires Valves with Harbor Freight Cen Tech Cable Tracer Wire Tracker
Thanks for clear and concise tips 🙏🏾
Thank you for this helpful video!
I need to change the seals, should I replace the acucator and then change the fluid???
Somehow, I found a way to get stuck doing this… I’m unable to unconnected the electrical connector… doesn’t seem to have a standard little slide connector. Stumped.
13:46 Has anybody replace the white internal clips on that part?
Thanks for the video. I watched this after buying the “bad” version. However, they did fit on my GX470.
Hey I live in Texas (Victoria) do you know any one or have videos on re aligning the sun roof?
Thanks 😊
Thanks, Nice video!! One question. How did you turn the actuator bracket to get at the small allen key bolt at back to remove actuator when the 17 mm nut is still on below the actuator.
I didn't, I just had to get the allen key around the back and slowly work it out. Sucks, just take your time.
My problem is, the arm on my door actuator won’t move😪
Ive had the same issue on my passenger side actuator. I noticed that I have to physically help help it get it to move sometimes. Ive noticed that I think that if theres a bunch of stuff aka " ole lady's purse etc" in the floorboard of the passenger side it can sometimes push the foot well covers just enough to. Keep the arms from moving
I didnt understand the seating of the air suspension on 18.18.
Wheres part 2?
ua-cam.com/video/iKI3L4tjbzw/v-deo.html
Do you have to set the temperature or vent at a certain position before replacing the actuator? Thanks
Nope, its position is based on the electronic signal.
@@GX470PracticalMaintenance thank you
Do you have to turn on the timer station in order to find the valve?
👍👍👍 Ukrain 🤝
I bet your ground wire must be connected to a true ground by connecting directly to a grounding rod
yeah smear that superlube guy!! seriously, thank you for this video. a lot easier this way
Who is the superlube guy?
I have found it is difficult to remove the electric clip from the ignition coil. What is the trick?
The key ingredient is fingertip pain. Jokes aside, you really just have to press that clip release in as best and as hard as you can and give some wiggles back and forth (not so much as to break it).
Goat
Excellent video, thanks for sharing your time and knowledge
Very good video 👍🏿👍🏿
How did you rotate the flat side of the shock post to face to front of the suv? Did you jack up the lower control arm to loosen the bolt and rotate the flat side of the post using a crescent wrench? or dId you remove the strut and compress the springs with spring compressors to loosen the top nut then rotate the flat side of the post?
I'm sorry, I don't follow what you are asking?
I bought the same one from Harbor Freight yesterday after viewing your video, but there is no tune sound detected at all after the wires going inot the ground. I think the signal is too weak. I just ordered F02 Pro from Ebay, hopefully it will work.
This helped tremendously. I've read other places you had to take off the bumper to do this, so it saved me a potential huge headache!
عندي لكسز 470gx.يفصل الكمبروسور على حرف Dاين المشكل افيدوني
No way to u need to hit it hard. Just pry it out, it just slips out. Also, remove tie rod end from steering knuckle so disc assy etc can be removed towards the left of cv axle.
Coil packets in lesux 470GX 2004
Do you know what the part number was for the driver side? I have the same issue. The number I have on the part 06700-8870 is not coming up on the Lexus parts website. I can find the passenger side with the bracket.
this lexus trucks are hyped up crap i must have replaced this same bulb 5x already!
The reason why this happens is because on this generation of GX470, these turn signal bulbs double as daytime running lights, in order to comply with the new (at the time) regulations requiring it, the truck was already a finished design before these regs. In countries that didn't mandate DRLs, they worked as normal blinkers. Turn signal bulbs aren't really designed to be left on for long periods the way headlights are so they burn out pretty quick in these trucks. The alternative would have been to make the headlights impossible to turn off while driving, as there was no space left in the cluster to add yet another bulb. I believe on later years of the same generation, they switched bulb types but not too sure on that. Either way, that and the crap air suspension (replaced mine with springs) are my only problems with an otherwise insanely solid truck, mine has 140k miles and feels nearly new, I think it's going to outlive me
Oh yeah, once I switched to Wagner BP1156NA bulbs they have lasted about 4 years, one of them just burned out today that I replaced around 2019
Idk why the gx is notorious for the turn signal bulbs to burn out very frequently
Thanks for this
Thanks! Sub'd!
Exactly what I needed. Thanks.
I have the same issue run to watch before I go to mechanic. Looks like my GX is also running low on Freon. Thanks for the video
Did you put any adhesive under the trim? Mine is coming up in the middle.
Just did mine. Helped a lot. My vacuum line was also severely cracked. Could've been the initial culprit but I did the seals as well. Thanks
About at 4:29 should the hose fit over that second flare near the bend? I did this process but can’t remember if it fit over it or sits next to it
It fits over the flair fitting.
Thanks for sharing. Great video and content. Just picked one up at my Harbor Freight here in AZ. Need to locate an u derground irrigation wire.
God bless you
I did this about a month ago and mine is leaking again. But I think just from the new oring not the seal this time. The first time the actuator was filled with oil. So I am going to pull it off again :(
Saw your video, bought one of these, and found my lost valve box in 5 minutes. I bought this home 4 years ago and hadn't found it or needed to find it until today when a valve was stuck open. Thanks for sharing!
Are the air springs the same size as oem or extended length?
They are the same size.
Thank you. I'm about to rebuild my Gx470 rear suspension, and this is a huge help. Really appreciate you making this excellent video and the quick reply!
No problem. Let me know if you have any questions. Good Luck!
Do i need to do this if i dont use sunroof?
Only if its clogged. Your sunroof leaks, all sunroofs leak, by design. The channel around the inside and the drains catch and drain that water away. So even if you don't use your sunroof they drains could still potentially clog.
I'm sorry, I do not believe this video is legitimate. I used this HF tracker, and the signal is so weak that the sound of the sensor goes to zero within 6 inches away from the conductor. That was my baseline test, simply holding the sensor wand directly up to the wires the cable tracker transmitter was clipped on to. No length of cable or materials to attenuate the signal. Can't sense thru more than 6 inches of air? Not gonna find anything underground. The only useful application of this tool is for electrical projects, where you have multiple cable bundles exposed, and you're just trying to figure out which one is the one that connects to someplace in another room, without hooking up live AC power. In that case, where you have perfect access to all wiring, and just need to know which wire is which, it's useful. Absolutely not for sprinkler wire finding.
Mine is beeping on the far side of the house! Ya might have gotten a bum unit or have weak batteries.
I just picked one up as a second vehicle. My driver blows HOT and passenger blows kinda cold. And rear ac blows the coldest. When I check the ac codes in the screen it does point to an actuator problem. I will check this later today. I do believe I’m a little low on Freon also I remember seeing some bubbles in the site glass. I have ac gauges also. Thanks for the informative video! I love this car since it’s fairly easy to work on and diagnose.
Thank You. I had the same issue and it's fixed. Especially checking the bubbling little window.
I'm currently experiencing the same issue. Now I know what to check before spending $$$ at a mechanic.Thanks for the video.
I'm curious to hear what you found?
Looks pretty good!
I think I’m just going to electric tape all of them
Just use good tape. The tape I applied in this video, now several years old, looks as good as the day I put it on. It hasn't peeled or needed to be replaced. For all the hater comments I got, it's still going! So give it a shot! Just clean and prep the surface really well, that is always the key. Clean the hell out of it, finish with alcohol, then apply.
I tested it at work and doesn’t work I think the wire is too deep here, how far does it send power
