Non automatic climate control to automatic.

Just like the title says I want my 95 tacoma to have automatic climate control. Can anyone help me out with how to do such?

 

A lot of retrofitted parts would be required to make this happen. That being said, I am curious to see if it is possible

 

Anything is possible if you have enough time, skill and/or money. And it will take a good bit of all 3.

For example: 'Auto climate control systems use several temperature sensors, remote-control electric servos to move the mode doors, a huge transistor to variably control the blower fan, and a control unit to make decisions and execute appropriate output commands.'

That's a basic unit from the 80's/90's. 'Newer systems also talk to the engine-management, navigation and supplemental-restraint systems to obtain additional vehicle information.'

If you're really set on pursuing this, I'd suggest starting by talking to companies like Vintage Air (who AC old cars), or ones that do stretch limo or van conversions. There may be something out there modular in nature. Although it's likely used on a separate system, not the vehicles primary system.

One thing to make sure of. If system fails, that it will revert to a traditional manual system.

 

Is it really that hard to turn dials?

 

No its not, but i love my old truck and have big plans for it so why not do the build right?

 

Thanks for the info! I'll be sure to look more into it. Sounds like my build is going to be fun!
