    I have a 2013 Tacoma with an A/C Issues. The A/C will operate great for 10 - 15 minutes then the compressor clutch disengages and the light blinks on the dash. If I press the A/C switch the A/C compressor will not turn back on, but if I wait approximately 10 minute and press the button the compressor will turn on again. The truck been back to the dealership twice now and the Compressor, Condenser, and Evaporator have been replaced. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what the problem may be?

    You try replacing the pressure switch while you are in there firing the parts cannon at it? Expansion valve freezing up?

    Faulty pressure switches can happen, although this is the first I've heard on a 2nd gen.

    The symptoms you described match my co-workers A/C issues last summer on his 2000 F250. It was the pressure switch.

    Just keep in mind if you change the pressure switch. Unlike any other truck I have changed one on their is no valve below the switch so when you unscrew it out goes your 134A .
