where is the A/C amplifier ire is located on the 2014 tacoma ???

where is the A/C amplifier ire is located on the 2014 tacoma ???

 

It is on the right side behind the glove box and forward of the ECU ( remove the glove box look up and slightly to the right ).

 

Can u send me a picture please
what is ECU ?

 

I'm looking for the wire that came from the temp sensor to run it to my rear view mirror

 

Trying to find it as well...

Behind glove box... Looking for VSS lead from that, but yet to find a good diagram . Lots of Violet wires :-(


What might be it? It left and up from the ECM

 

Look at the Top Right Side of picture below A/C Amplifier.

 

Wow, thanks

Any guesses on the ECM pin out? Trying to find a VSS lead to tap into.

 

Sorry I don't have the circuit prints for a 2014.

 

You can run a wire from the temp sensor to rearview mirror but don't know what an ECU is?

 

Your 4th and 5th posts are to dig up a 3 1/2 year old thread?

 

how can you bench test a 2014 Tacoma a/c amplifier?...i dont want to buy a new one ....and i dont have nobody with a 2014 tacoma to swap my amplifier and test it

 

What kind of issue are you having that leads you to the A/C Amplifier?

 

i had a no good mechanic ///to begin...i jumped the contacts on the ac mag clucht relay and the clucht worked...i took my truck to this guy ..i dont know what hed did ..now the clucht is no working and he is blaming the a/c amplifier...i removed the truck and took it home...now i have a clucht thats not working and apparently a bad amplifier....i asked him...if he use a scanner ..he said yes and there is no code...i parked my truck again...did anyone know how to bench test this amplifier and /or a sequential troubleshooting test that i can follow with my voltmeter..i used to be an I/c tech and ill try to solve this problem..

 

Does the A/C light come on and then flash, come on and stay on, or not come on at all?

 

the ac light comes as soon i turn the ac ..a few seconds later and remains flashing..first the engine kind of rev a little and then comes the light...and no matter what you do .
its stay flahing

 

Ok that tells me it's trying to command the MG CLT Relay on, you say the clutch does not engage at all unless you jump pins 3 and 5 of the MG CLT relay though?
I'm assuming you already tried swapping relays?

 

yes i used the horn relay ....before taking my truck to this mechanic i used to jump the relay and the clucht engaged...but i dont know what he did ....now not doing that..i might have to check the ohms of the clucht ..to see if i get 2 to 5ohms....i havent done that yet....to eliminate that part...and then look into the amplifier...i wish i could get an info on how to bench test for voltages...

 

Do you have a test light?

If so we can narrow this down pretty quick, test light connected to battery Ground check for power on Pin 2 & 5 of the MG CLT Relay with the key on.
Then test light connected to battery Positive check Pin 3, it should light up if the wire is continuous to the clutch coil and the coil windings are good.

If that all tests good then with the light still connected to battery Positive start the truck and have an assistant hit the A/C button while you hold the light on Pin 1 of the MG CLT Relay, it should light up briefly until the light starts flashing.

 

thanks very much...ill try this..when my son get from work tomorrow...doing all this it ll point to a bad amplifier..or it is just the beginning of process of elimination?.
i really appreciate your help....ill stop for now and ill get back to you if you permit.
my name is Joe or Cheo..nickname for Jose here in Puerto Rico
thanks..until next one
