    Hey there everybody
    The other day I turned my AC on for a few minutes to check if it was still working, and the good news is, it is working great! But the problem is it won't shut off now. I have a friend who said he had a similar problem on his 96' 4runner and said the AC relay had failed. Just a simple replacement.
    Curious if anybody has had a similar problem?
    Thanks!

    there should be a relay in the fuse box under the hood, tapping on it might unstick it. they aren't cheap as far as I remember, I think they are like $15

    Things must be rough if $15.00 is considered expensive.

    Or did you forget a zero on the left side of the decimal point??

    For an OEM relay? Only at a u-pull-it maybe.

    I never said oem, I said relays "like" that.

    the only difference in the oem relay and others is the price you pay extra to get the one in the Toyota box with the exception of the cheap china made crap
