    Just bought my first Tacoma so I'm still new, 2009 TRD Offroad. The heat works great..on high and only on high Is there a relay or something that needs to be replaced?

    The prime suspect is the blower motor resistor. It's an easy fix. Sometimes the connector/wiring to it are burn and there is a replacement available.

    The above is correct... resistor is shot...change the connector while you're in there.

    I would respectfully disagree with point #2.... It's either Best replacement battery....Or what oil do ya use.....

    I’m in the temp/compass category, so I’m right and you’re wrong. :duel:

    This. I’ve been on here for years but I just fell victim to the blower motor and resistor failing. I’m only searching for the most up to date parts listing for both and the switch panel. Just going to swap all three and call it a day
