    Hello everyone,
    took possession of a 2009 double cab long bed today, 11 year break since i've had a toyota pick up truck (dodge ram 2500 utility break) and am psyched about it. but driving back from the dealers today noticed the a/c will not turn off, no matter if i turn cold/hot dial all way into the red, the cold air is still pumping. pressing the a/c button makes no difference, the little green light still stays on. Apart from that its reckon great.

    Turn off the recirc and make sure it isn't on defrost.

    I would have turned around and drove straight back to the dealer you bought it from.

    Any chance the cold/hot control was replaced with a newer unit, which would work exactly opposite of what was expected? Have you tried setting the control to cold, and see if you can turn off the AC?
