Toyota Highlander A/C problems by alleycat7
Sep 18, 2007 (2:55 pm)

i have a 2005 Toyota Highlander with approx. 12,000 miles on it and the air conditioning works intermittantly. Since the problem is not all the time i'm afraid i'm going to spend make many many trips to the dealer trying to get them to find the problem. Has anyone else had this problem with the A/C working now and then??
Thanks for your replys

can you describe the symptoms a bit more; like when it isn't working, what is it doing, blowing warm air? Does the fan remain on? Does the compressor stay on? etc

Yes the fan stays on and the temperature control works. I get the cool air or warm depending on where the control knob is. When i push the AC button it doesn't light up and there definitely is no cold air coming out. Just air----
I'm wondering if when the radio/CD had to be replaced if they messed up something then and it has just now shown up. The whole radio system died last month and had to be replaced

I think the system may just be low on freon. You can have it checked, but since freon doesn't disappear on it's own it usually indicates a leak somewhere; which depending on where that leak is can be expensive.

I took the car to the dealer today and they said they readjusted the control knob. Sounds like of "iffy" to me but the AC does work now so we'll see. If it goes off again it'll go back right away. My warranty expires in December so i want this stuff fixed before that.
Thank you for your reply and help

I have 2002 Highlander. Had my evaporator replaced today. When they put the dash back together, the compressor will only come on when control is on Defrost. Any ideas?
Thanks, Gary

Highlander manual heater swap to Auto climate control help by slimes

Hi,
 
I have a 2003 v6 Highlander 4WD. It has the manual 3 knob controls for the heater. I am looking to switch it to an Automatic Climate control. Can this be possible? If so what do I need to get this done? Someone told me that the wiring is different.

Hi Slimes,
 
Was checking the forum and noticed your question. I know it was Dec 31 when you posted, but have you done anything with this. I too, was considering changing to Automatic Climate Control in my 01 Highlander. Were you able to accomplish this or is the wiring indeed different? I already have a replacement panel. Thanks,

I'd like to also convert my '05 Highlander from manual to automatic climate control. I pulled the controls out last night and was able to match the main plug with a photo from an automatic climate control from an '04 Highlander. However I do not see a plug for the fan switch control, and I'm afraid there might be some electronics involved here. I bought it anyway, and am going to try. I may have to get the wiring diagram book ($$$) but it's a start... I'll post back if I have any success.
