My '01 Highlander started doing this exact thing in March. I was worried that it'd be a costly fix, but after Google led me here I'm pretty confident that pulling the knob off mine and tightening the nut will be the fix. Thanks guys. Great find.

I took my 2003 Highlander in to the dealership in Dublin CA this morning. They called me at lunchtime to let me know it would cost $1100.00 for a new A/C controller. I found your message on through google and decided to give it a try. IT WORKED. Thank you so very much. My only regret is that I didn't find your message before I took the car in because the dealership charged me $150 just for looking at the car!

Hmmm - I'm one who paid the 1500.00 for the new unit (hadn't found this website).
When I picked it up - they didn't have the colored decal on it and told me I could pick it up today. I went to get it put on - and now they want an additional 40.00 just for the decal (looks awful without). Has anyone else run into this??? They said, "well that's toyota for you" - Needless to say I didn't buy it (yet). Does anyone know where I can get a colored decal for the unit without paying yet another sum of money???! I am really choked about this. Thank!

I am having the same AC issues and have the auto climate control panel. Can you clarify the "knob" that should be tightened to fix this or is it both? My panel has the temperature knob on the left and then the blower control on the right. I presume it is the temperature knob that I pull off and check? Please confirm.

I'm not familiar with the auto climate control layout. You didn't say what year HL you have. My '04 layout is, left to right, 3 dial-knob selectors:
L=fan speed Center=temp select R=discharge outlet selector
 
The one that's been an issue is the center temp control.

Yes, that's correct. Check which way the arrow is pointing on the temperature knob before you pull it off, so that when you push it back on, you align it the same way.

better yet, turn it all the way (either way) before you remove it, then it will be easier to get it back aligned the same.
