    Hello all,
    Anyone have the location of the a/c amplifier on 2003 Tacoma 3.4? Trying to run down a short. A/C blows fuse only when truck is running, unplugged ac clutch and still blows fuse. Thanks

    Looks like it's built into the HVAC Controls, I'd bet the wire between the HVAC Controls and A/C compressor is shorted somehwere.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Now in my 2000 it is down to the left of the blower motor near the blower resistor .

    Any idea what year it moved?
