Replacing Climate Control Lights And Knobs On A 2nd Gen Tacoma

[@Oistins7]

Thank you for the video and instructions. I replaced my Climate Control bulbs and knobs yesterday and they are a 100% improvement. The replacement went as pictured in the video. Very much appreciated.

Just replaced my blower last night. It’s the blower motor. Only worked on high. Now it works on all settings.

[@mongoose1able]

Check a small module resistor with 4 wire plug for the AC blowermotor speed selector switch.

My 07 Tacoma is about to hit 300K miles. I’ve had to replace the resistor once due to this issue after getting tired of reaching down under the passenger side to wiggle the wires to get the ac to work in slower speeds. I’m about to replace both light bulbs from the panel like you just did and likely ordering the knobs as well. Everyone tells me to get a new truck already but I just can’t part ways with my old truck, it’s been so good to me after years of abuse.

when you removed the right knob the tiny metal spacer was still attached.... remove it and it will sit like the rest of them. you're welcome.

Glad I ran into this video. My fan knob broke off today in my hand and I have been wanting to replace the bulb on the left side but wasnt sure how that panel came off. EZPZ

If off or high are the only options Then the Blower motor Resistor Went bad It's a common issue on all vehicles when nothing but high works 6:00

[@CanadianGearhead]

Yup, it's pretty well documented in the community it looks like

[@masonmansitomargiela1399]

Thanks for the video brother, do you have any links for the light bulbs is confusing when looking on amazon and ebay

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Upgraded nobs Change the entire Look and man that looks good

[@douglas26690]

Can you give more info on those knobs? Very informative video..

[@CanadianGearhead]

These are the knobs: www.auxito.com/products/ac-climate-control-switch-tacoma-models?variant=43521300300020 Using code GEARHEAD will get you 15% off!

[@edwardbell4928]

These knobs do have a tendency to have the end cap pop off after a time...a little glue fixes it right up

[@Grad3r]

Any idea which bulb to use in emergency light button?

[@zach190]

Can you send a link for the bulbs and controls?

[@viktorrotkiv1698]

Great video , thanks for the hints , I had that problem .

[@jahnnaloha]

I messed around with my radio and now it turns on but no sound. Did I accidentally pull out a wire? If so do you know which one?

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

The pins are loose inside the Blower motor resistor they get extremely hot which is why there in inside the Blower Box

[@bikerbud3903]

How many miles on your Tacoma when the resister started to fail? I ask because I just bought a "15 Sport with only 7k miles on it.

[@soggycentral2175]

This video was great, I want that touch screen😭

[@jesusg5613]

The cable is usually fried i rewired mine and works perfectly fine now ac on all settings

[@DasGoldenBoy]

That pry tool? Never seen one before, where can that be found?

[@Jimbobbuddy]

Amazon

[@5outherncal1]

Thank you buddy!

[@bythemountain]

Hello Tim, do you know if it's possible to have that style of knob (or anything else really!) on a 4th gen 4runner?

[@CanadianGearhead]

The 4runner has push buttons rather than knobs so I don't know of any upgrades for it

[@bythemountain]

@@CanadianGearhead I was thinking more of the entire unit replaced instead of just a button swap Too bad that does exist, that would be just awesome! Thanks ;)

[@Jimbobbuddy]

I had the same problem with my fan speed and I'm pretty sure it was a resistor.

[@davekana8388]

Taco Time, good work!

[@douglas26690]

Thanks, I placed an order.

[@SanDiego_VDubLife]

I might do that mod

[@nastysoda9212]

that resistor only lasts like 2-4 years, you can buy it for $15 from any auto parts store and pop it in, takes 1 minute.

[@jesuscisneros2555]

I did this on my truck like 3 years ago. I replaced it with blue lights, and the same nobs

[@CanadianGearhead]

Did your knobs fit the same way as mine do?

[@jesuscisneros2555]

@CanadianGearhead yes they did perfectly I can see blue light in the clear ring and awesome bihinde the nob ...I like the way they look.......and I replace the resistance under the dashboard because my AC stops working was way to easy to do it.....Amazon products...😊

[@casen06]

​@@jesuscisneros2555link to blue bulbs ?

[@Fatandtactical]

This is good info bud I've seen other vehicles where that larger one is usually the temperature turn knob maybe 🤷‍♂️

[@CanadianGearhead]

I checked and it looks like the 3 knobs are the same, the peg on the right side one sticks out more and the OEM knob must have accounted for that

[@kyleanderson1863]

The resistor will burn up and I found it's better to change it out for about $30.

[@757outdoorsman]

Wanna send me 2 of those bulbs lol
