    Just purchased my 2nd Tundra at the end of March and about a month ago my AC control panel decided not too work anymore it will illuminate when I turn on the lights but when I turn the dials nothing happens I've tried everything that I know how too do I don't understand how the whole system stops working. I don't know how the whole system just completely stops working one day. It was working fine till about a month ago. I never had a problem like this with my 07. If some one could please help me out I'd really appreciate it also my outside temperature just says (E) I've tried too change the ambient air temperature sensor and still nothing I gotta little boy due in a couple days and it's hot down here in Texas so I'm trying too get this takin care of before he gets here

    TRD exhaust, cold air intake, interior mods.
    I assume yours has dual climate controls? With that system, it’s hard to say. I know on mine which is just standard 3 knob controls, it pulled some crazy stuff awhile back. Every time headlights were turned on, A/C would come on and could not turn off unless headlights were switched off. Which sucked in the wintertime. Ended up having to replace entire control panel. Which luckily I found one on EBay.

    Yessir it's not the automatic or anything fancy.
    Did you have that (E) reading on your outside temperature as well? My next step was going too be changing the panel or the evaporator sensor
    I'm stumped man I've been fighting this thing for a month
    I really appreciate your reply brother
    Badass truck btw

    Guess you checked for rodent damages and the cabin filter for evidence? Fuses all checked in cab and underhood?

    Yessir sorry I forgot too mention I checked all fuses as far as rodent damage I have not
    I took it too the dealership yesterday and they said they "looked through it" and didn't see anything
    It's still under warranty but they want too keep it for over a week just too diagnosis it
    I also forgot too mention I put LEDs in my fog and headlights I'm fixing too remove them now and out the stock bulbs back in. It was working fine with the LEDs though. But I understand that could be why I'm having this problem
