    The blower for the fan on my 2009 Tacoma started acting strange the other day. It actually didn’t come on when I turned on the AC. Shut it off and back on and it worked. 2 days later same thing. Is this the blower motor or some type of electrical supply issue? Anyone else had this happen?

    Search. This is a common issue and usually caused by a loose connection at the Blower motor resistor or on the motor connection itself. Check both connectors to see if they are burned.

    As described above, a LOT of people think the resistor itself is broken but in reality, you just need to clean the pin (it will be obvious which one) and then bend it in such a way that it makes more rigid contact with the other connector. You do that and you're likely good to go.
