Sure enough, my relay failed and i put the horn relay in its place until i can order one from a local auto parts store (not from Ama-you-know-who). My wife continues to think i am so smart because i can fix so many things when in fact it’s nice people like you who take the time to share things they learned. Thank you
Man this guy saved me from hours and hours of diagnosing I’ve been doing this 30 years I even looked up the wiring to the ac system and could not see it lead back to that fuse thanks
Have seen many hundreds of auto videos on DIY auto projects and this one was by far one of the very best. Loved the graphics and straight forward approach. Job well done!
Worked for me...didnt need to use the copper wire. Replacing the relay with the horn is what made me AC work great (and add more AC/Pro in). THANKS for saving us $200 plus dollars at the mechanic!
Exact what I needed for my sienna. Pulled the fuse and replaced with the horn fuse. Bingo! Got a new one at the local parts store and topped off the refrigerant. Much appreciated 👏👊🏻🎇
Wow worked perfectly for my van. Glad I looked at this before I went to a mechanic. Thanks!
I have a 2005 Sienna and my relay seems to be working ok. Pretty sure I need more freon, but the problem is intermittent. Sometimes we'll get "plain" air, and other times we'll get "sort of cold" air.
I'm having this exact issue.
Did you ever figure it out? I also have a 2005 sienna with the EXACT same issue and im at a loss. I’ve tried everything 😭
Same issue, same year. No solution yet. Both relays work
Worked like a charm! Easy and fast fix (relay replacement 2004 Sienna) saved me a lot of time & money! Thanks for the video.
O-M-G. That was easy! Thanks! New relay and DONE!
Replacement rele with horn helped me.
That’s to jump the switch harness to see if the switch is bad but don’t keep the harness jumped replace the high pressure switch instead when you take the car to the shop they have to do everything like recover the Freon leak test and refill the system that’s why it come up to 300 or 400 dlrs you can’t replace the switch without doing a recover Freon system
Not sure why you need the wire procedure. Shouldn't simply switching the relays work to test if the relay is the issue?
First I'll apologize for not subscribing but I don't own a 2006 Sienna but do have a 2017 Highlander that takes R134 which is no longer used in Canada. I watched your video to see if I could get a link to a source for this product. 2 years ago the Highlander was blowing " room temperature " air from the AC so I( took it to the dealership and they said that everything checked out |"ok " but the refrigerant pressure was a little bit low. They added some coolant and a leak sealer in case there was a very small leak. It worked well for just over a year ( don't need to use AC much around here ). This Spring it was back to blowing " slightly cool ". One thing you didn't mention is to use the gauge on the can to get the pressure in the right " zone ". Too much pressure can be a very expensive repair. Also, shake the can before connecting and hold the can upside down in the 12:00 o'clock position and turn to 3:00 and back while filling if the gauge shows low pressure. I'm going to try the fuse / relay thing first, so thanks for that. Still probably need to add refrigerant though so I'll have to figure that one out as well. Thank you for your help.
Thank you so very much for your tutorial, you helped everyone so very much. Thank you.
Kirk, I can’t take you enough for this video.. thank you so much, as soon as a put the jumper cable it turned on. And I did check the horn relay before just in case. The funny part was that it was working 3 days ago. But I just change the radiator and I was like what happened. Z
Only used jumper cable and that was it.. I been dealing with the AC for the past year, I changed the clutch and it worked. But it was overheating until yesterday that I changed radiator and thermostat
Was getting so frustrated. Thanks alot. Saved me huge.
This video helped resolve the issue with my a/c. Thank you so much. 👍🙏
Very practical presentation, super clear - thank you
It's so obvious that horn relay is not the same as the one you replaced lol
thanks that was my issue now my a/cis working
Thanks this help a lot 😊😊
Thank you so much I did same problem God bless you all
Wow this solved my problem and save me at least $300, Thank you
Happy to hear!
Thank You so much!!!!!! Strangely I only needed to switch the relays and it worked. I ordered a new relay just in case. I will recharge the system if it needs it.
Congratulations!
You need to control how much freon you are putting in. Pressure is important, otherwise it can kill your compressor.
I'd be careful to not use the "extra cold" and "extra sealant" types of R1341a, always repair leaks, you don't want sealant lowering the efficiency of your condenser. The small channels can clog easily.
Great video by the way, just thought I'd add some knowledge. Got my AC license while working in shops back in 2017. I have some experience with these systems.
The other day i had my ac running and all of a sudden freon started coming out of the back mid engine. I can smell the freon. So now my ac dont work and the compresor dont come on. Does this mean just find the leak on a hose and refill and the compresor should kik in?
How u fix it
.
It worked! Thanks so much
I have the same problem green light and Don blow cold air
It works, superb video, thanks.
Wow! Awesome! Happy it helped. Mine is still going strong
Took ours to the dealership a while ago so we don't know if the fuses work because our horn stopped working and they messed with the airbag light, the fuses look good but I forgot to check if that fuse from the horn engages the clutch but it didn't fix our issue
What was your refrigerant pressure when you hooked up the can? Was it maxed out or low?
Worked for me! Thanks so much for making the video!
Happy to help!
My exact issue. I didn’t need to add the Freon.
I thought this would fix mine but this particular relay does not exist on my 2004 rav4 :( ugh
You going to have more projects coming cars this old you going to do some fixing I have a 2007 Camry v6. And it show it wears. Pulleys bearings going out water pump air vent sticking alternators suspension bushing.
Anyone know if this all applies to the 2011 Sienna?
Make more videos bro great work 🎉🎉❤
Swapped the horn relay and as soon as I press the AC button the compressor kicks on, weird thing is only passenger side vent blows cold air, driver side blows warm air any input?
So what did replacing that fuse do? If that fuse goes out does it make it to where the compressor won't kick on?
Thanks, but I just checked the relay is working, compressor spinning, may be gas ?
My sienna hava that problem I think I am going to try tomorrow
I have the same issue where the compressor clutch is not engaging. However when I jump across both the closer terminals on the pressure sensor wiring harness, the fans come on and when I jump the two outer terminals, nothing happens. I know the compressor clutch is good because I ran a hot wire to it and it engages. I swapped the relays as shown in the video, but that didn't do a thing. And the horn works with both relays. I'm at a loss, I have no idea what the problem is. BTW, I have a 2004 Sienna manufactured 12/2003.
i'm having the same issue. did you figure out what the issue was? I also have a 04 Sienna
@@danklimek7551 This is what I did. I replaced the wire from the fuse in the fuse box to the compressor. just to make sure that wasn't the problem. It didn't changed a thing. every once in a while, the compressor would engage and disengage repeatedly, so it was on off on off and stayed engaged and off for less than a second each time. I then disconnected the battery and crossed the negative cable with the positive cable for 30 minutes to drain all the capacitors in the system. When I started the engine and turned the ac on, it did the same on off cycle. At that point I gave up on it. I called my friend and told her to come pick it up, but ac was not working. An hour later I decided to take it for a drive to see how it did while driving. The ac worked perfectly and has been flawless since then. So I don't know what exactly fixed it.
What you are jumping is a low pressure switch. It stops the AC compressor clutch from engaging if the refrigerant is low. This prevents damage to the compressor. If the relay is good, compressor clutch works then its most likely your Sienna is low on refrigerant. You need to have the AC system pressure tested. I advise against adding automotive parts store refrigerant because any leaks introduces air and moisture into the system. The proper method to refilling the AC system is to boil the air and moisture out under vacuum. Then the correct amount of refrigerant and refrigeration oil is added back to the system.
nice job thanks
Hi Kirk, thanks for sharing the info! Would you know and can you make an explanation of if the relay and the amount of refrigerant is related to have one fail the other? Turns out my relay failed. I'd like to know if I should be refilling my refrigerant immediately, or if I have time to use the ac with just the relays switched. A response would be very appreciated!
With how inexpensive refrigerant is, I would put it in when you can.
@@KirkKreifels thanks for responding! ill do that then, to be on the safe side.
tku ,,it was a big help
So there is a fuxible that makes the ac work?
So did you leave the jumper on the 2 contacts in that connector when you were done? Or did you remove the jumper and put it back the way it should be? I don't think you finished explaining that part of the fix/process. Trying to figure out if I have to keep this jumper in place this way going forward and what issues or possible issues leaving this in place might cause? Thank you for the follow up.
No need for the jumper after the fix
@@KirkKreifels Thank you for the reply, I figured but wanted to be sure. My issue unfortunately must be deeper... the relay is working as tested with the horn, and the jumper worked to get the clutch engaged and the compressor moving... but I've discovered there is no gas charge on the low or the high side... uagh...
@@jeffpaisano4418 Sorry to hear man! Hope it doesn't cost you too much
@@jeffpaisano4418what you do to fix it
A+🎉
What if I tried both of these methods and the ac clutch still won't engage
You might need a new compressor :(
But you don't actually SHOW us you doing it. Why?
THATS A RELAY NOT A FUSE
Don't just talk. Show us
