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!

EZ Airconditioner fix by ppride

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.

Intermittent A/C Problem by luckybelly

I got 01 Highlander V6 with non-auto temp control.
My A/C is fully charged but intermittently I don't get cold air. I know this cuz I have used temp guage and know the temp when cold and warm. The temp setting knob works fine. But do not get cold air, while driving intermittently it will start sending cold air but consistently.
Anyone run into this problem and know the fix. Any help is helpful.

Dublin Toyota service / dealership are crooks
never take your vehicle there. I would say 90% of dealerships are crooked

If the engine coolant is approaching the level of overheating, not yet at that level, the A/C will be shut off to keep the condensor from pre-heating the airflow to the radiator. Once the coolant temperature drops back to the normal range the A/C will start up again.
 
Being stopped for awhile or moving slowly along in stop and go traffic with the engine mostly idling and A/C still going on a hot day will result...

Coolant temp guage shows normal temp.This happens while driving at normal highway speed and on streets. It intermittently works fine and then it doesn't.
Are there sensors that prevent it from turning on?

Here in the Las Vegas summer heat the A/C doesn't get the vehicle to cool as quickly as expected (+20 minutes).
 
Has anyone else had similar problems?
