  • Aircon goes kaput

    Took the little fella for a drive out to the airport on saturday to watch some planes make lots of noise and while it was an absolute cracker of a day, sun was shining, nice breeze aircon cranking nice and cool for about 3 minutes of the trip then gone.... Outside air temp at best belting through the vents. Bit of driving around in the heat yesterday, and again today heading to the camping and caravanning show and still no joy. Driving back from the show over a bit of bumpy road and it kicked back in for about 3 minutes.... Then gone again.

    Fuses look fine. Beyond that im stumped.

    Any ideas before I take in to Toyota and lube up for the repair cost?

    Damn mate, no good at all!!!

    I'd only be shooting in the dark, but isn't there a sight glass in on of the gas lines running infront of the radiator? Think its supposed to look green when its full of gas? And the AC compressor, should be able to note the difference in sound between when the compressor cuts in and out as you switch the unit on or off?

    If not, might be worth seeing if you get the signal from the wiring to energise the solenoid (a guess thats what it is?) that engages the compressor...

    EDIT: On the wiring note, checking the connection on the back of the compressor too - might be a bad or loose one!!!

    I don't know if any of that is useful, but its worth a look...

    BTW - I'd be happy to be corrected by anyone in the know!!!

      Toyota have had problems with the relay, suspect P/N 90987-02822, was replaced with 90987-02028 ($90). Hope that helps mate.

                    McBain, this might upset you, I got a 30amp relay from Jaycar for $6.50, P/N SY4045, it is not a sealed unit like the Toyota one but easily sealed. A google search on Toyo A/C will reveal the problems with this relay, it's worth getting a few and keeping them handy.

                        In my experience:

                        2003 Prado KZJ120R
                        1. For about 2 months the aircon was slow to engage taking 5-10minutes to become cool after engine start.
                        2. It then began to fluctuate between cool and warm.
                        3. After about the 3rd month the aircon stopped mid travel and did not reengage.
                        4. Initially believed to be aircon gas/leak.
                        5. At AC Service the mechanic bypassed electrical, powering AC compressor directly, advising aircon not leaking and to contact an Auto Electrician for fix.
                        6. Found this thread and purchased SY4045, replaced relay and confirmed AC immediately working.
