    I have a 2016 Toyo Tacoma access cab.
    From what I read, I have what seems to be a recurring AC problem in the Tacoma. When I push the AC button on, it pops off 2 seconds later. This just keeps recurring. I read 2 solutions, turn off the Auto button. (I don't have one) Clogged water line behind the dash.
    Does this mean the entire dash board has to come out? Are there any other possible solutions?

    Im not the best on the computer. I googled TT ac problem, found a thread and started reading. It ended with a clogged water release line behind the dash. The writer stated he had to fix the same problem several times, he claimed it was a poor design.

    i am also having an AC issue with my 2016, but different. AC stopped blowing cold air, and it sounds like it was stuck trying to cycle. Also appears to possibly have a leak on the line behind the grille ?
