    Hey Everyone, I have a 2014 Toyota Tundra 4 x 4 double Cab. When the air blower is on, with A/C off and blower setting knob set to the non-defrost setting, The A/C compressor comes on. Very Cold air is blowing from the blower vents. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they said that the A/C compressor will come on/off regardless if the inside A/C switch is on or in off position. They said the operation is normal.

    This does not make sense to have the A/C compressor running while I have the blower temp set to warm air. Also, I thought that the A/C compressor only comes on if the user puts the vehicle in Front window De-Frost mode or turn the A/C on.

    i have a 2018 and discovered that if my temp knob is turned all the way counterclockwise the AC will stay on. If i turn it one click clockwise the AC can be turned off. not sure if we are talking about the same issue but im new to tundras
