Quick facts
- Part: Four Seasons 68329 A/C compressor
- Fits: 2002-2010 Lexus SC430 and other vehicles
- Condition: New
A failing compressor can show up as warm air from the vents, a grinding noise when the A/C is on, or a clutch that does not engage. Low refrigerant from a leak elsewhere, a blown fuse or relay, or a restricted orifice tube can also be behind a warm-air complaint, so track down the cause before you buy.
Fits
The compressor also fits the 2001-2005 Lexus GS430 and the 1998-2000 Lexus GS400. Built to OE specifications or better, it is a direct-fit replacement for these vehicles. A 2001-2005 Lexus GS430 takes one compressor, and so does each of the other cars named here.
