    if coolant is very low the ac compressor will not kick on. after recharged the compressor with coolant i saw a leakage around the inlet and out hose plate. you have to remove the compressor to get to the four Allen head bolts. there are two O-ring seals underside the plate. my taco has 195K miles. after replaced the seals, install the compressor pump same route you removed it so you won't have to struggle to get it into the tight space. i did the installation from the under the truck for easier to lift up the pump once the pump is in-place. now you can install the four mount bolts. once all hoses are installed with new hose seals, add the coolant, may take two cans. the compressor spins when filled with coolant. i did not evacuate the system since it was low on coolant. some shops prey on customers not knowing how to add coolant by charging at least $500. that's highway robbery.

    I haven’t done a diagnostic yet as I’m still watching your videos. The one thing I’ve noticed which I think is odd is if I turn the temperature all the way down with the AC off and vent fresh air from
    The outside, it will blow hot air even if it’s freezing cold outside while driving. Doesn’t matter if the AC is on or off. That sounds like it could be something other than a clutch, compressor, fluid etc. it’s a 2003 Tacoma v6 2 wheel drive. The only way to stop it from blowing hot air is to turn the air to recirculate instead of fresh. Thoughts?

    So weird! my 2016 Off Road, 4x4, all of a sudden just shut off. (green ac light went off and stays off). When I push the AC button on, I can hear it run then it shuts off, green ac light goes off. I checked the fuse and the replay, they are working properly. I had a friend come over and he said the compressor is running which is good news, however, he then assumed the refrigerant its empty so he was going to add freon but, his gage says the freon in full. That is where we are confused. Also its the 1234y NOT the usual 123A. Any insights? I want to sell this truck but I need to get this fixed first. We live in Florida. We do NOT have the $$ to have it serviced or even diagnosed at a local toyota dealership, they are way expensive.

Truck sat 2 days, and then AC not working. AC light blinks after a while. Had it check for freon and man said it was full, fuse and relay ok. Is compressor shot? Truck is 2011 but only 62k miles.

    So, I used a Ryobi RYi12VBGVNM One+ Power Source to do the last part of this video’s troubleshooting. Well the clutch ended up engaging and NOT spinning freely. Thought that was that, but now my truck won’t start for some reason and I’m stuck here at a Lowe’s parking lot waiting 110-140 minutes for tow truck to arrive.

    • @KFloTacoma

      I'm sorry to hear what happened in your situation. Did you try disconnecting and reconnecting your battery? Did you check your fuses? It sounds like you may have shorted out a circuit while you're doing your tests. All these tests and diagnostics that I recommend are performed at home. I don't recommend tearing into the truck away from home at all unless you absolutely have to.

    What if the magnetic clutch is working properly but the A/C doesn't get cold? The A/C on mine is definitely engaging as you can hear the RPM decrease when the A/C is engaged from the load but last Summer in very hot weather, no cold air. Solutions? Thanks!

    • @KFloTacoma
      @KFloTacoma  3 роки тому

      Here's my thoughts:
      Spray down/clean the condenser fins
      Check the pressures on the High pressure and low pressure line while the system is running
      If the pressure differences are not in spec then it won't cool down the air. Check the chart on www.autozone.com/diy/climate-control/how-to-recharge-car-ac
      The proper AC pressures should reflect the given outside temp
