Omy, thanks that vid it is the closest to my problem. Broken windshield glass in the ac and it sounds like rain or wires shorting out. Freaked me out the 1st time. I only hear it going 70 mph + with the AC on High I also hear grumbling sounds coming from the AC from somewhere. Can I clean out the glass without total disassembly?

So I have a 2010 Toyota Tacoma access cab with a four-cylinder 2.7 L engine it has 165,000 miles overall it’s in good condition if I need to have this particular repair done how much is it going to cost me on average and is it really worth it???I had the ac compressor/clutch replaced last year,,,sitting still it was not very cold in stop and go traffic in city,,,driving on the highway it was adequate,,,I’m going to take it back in the spring and have them evacuate the system of Freon and then put in the specified amount check for leaks and go from there. I sprayed the coil outside the vehicle in front of the bumper at the car wash in case there is debris stuck in that??? any opinions???

I think Toyotas should re-design these with a slit in the plastic case that could be accessed through the firewall simply by removing a plate peeling off a piece of heavy duty foil tape of some kind from the plastic casing and accessing a set of pull strings/pull wires that would pull an external thin piece of filter material from the evaporative coil and still leave one behind for protection if the Second pre filter clogged then the whole dash removal will have to take place,,,it just seems to me they could’ve made this a little easier simply by having a pre-filter that would pull out with a set of wires or something like that or just a tab sticking out you could use a pair of pliers to pull out

Toyota is going to come back with a lower price for replacing the condenser coil and blower bag. They are throwing in a wheel alignment and an oil and filter change, so I know it was way overpriced to begin. Your video is great and I am sharing it with all mechanics I contact while trying to get a decent quote on this complicated job.

Who did this repair for you? Very thorough. I had some thing done to my 99 4runner limited. Only problem is my driver side dash vinyl is now separating from under the windshield trim right after I had mine done. I took it back and they told me there wasn't anything they did or could do and that it was weather related. I want to get my dash fixed because it wasn't like that until they had worked on it. I just need someone who knows how and thorough as this guy was on yours. Also, where are they located? I realize this video is 11 months old but would still love to know. Thank you for posting.

Hey Omy, I have a 2015 tacoma and I all of a sudden I noticed that when I blast the A/C only the left side is cold. The next vent to the right is warmer, the next warm and then far passenger vent is very warm. Will I have to do this same disassembly or is there an actuator that is easy to get to?
@omycruz5086

Hi Philip, your a/c system might be low in refrigerant. Not necessarily. Depending on where the actuator is located. Taking of the dash is like the worst case scenario where you don't have an access to the part you are replacing. In the case of replacing the evaporator core on that specific vehicle, there's no other way but to remove the dash.
