    The AC on my Tacoma just stopped working I used it for about 15 min on my way home from work, it ran just fine I got home then my wife left to work no more than 10 min after I got home she turned on the truck then turned on the AC and now it’s not working. It’s not blowing out any air hot or cold? Has anyone had this problem or just any advice will help.
    I have a 2017 Tacoma SR 4 cylinder

    No not at all. Is that a sign for the blower motor?

    That’s where the glove box is right? Like where the cabin air filter is at?

    Right below the filter, look for a plug near the floor on the left while you're there. Un-plug it and return several times, might help.

    Fuse, relay.. all suggested above, see if the compressor clutch engages once the fan works.

    does the fan work at all? I’d work on fan first. It should work in most modes, heating, cooling just outside air.

    Check fuse inside cabin. It is in the fuse block in front of your left shin. It is the IG1 fuse and I believe it is the 4th from the top on the right side.

    Good leads above here^

    HOWEVER - I'd suggest checking for operator error before you start taking things apart and hitting things with hammers...

    Not that I'd have any experience with such claims of inoperability around my household or anything...
