I have a 2014 Tacoma blowing hot air. When I turn on the truck the ac light comes on and then it starts blinking while blowing hot air. I plan on taking it to the dealership this weekend but would like to fix it myself if possible. Any idea of what it could be? I'm not really an expert when it comes to vehicles.

Tacoma has great web forums with lots of knowledgeable folks. Always seem to be able to fix any issues by checking the forums

He probably had a snake crawl into his engine and now it lives in his AC unit.

Thinking the "baws" might be on the OB.

Will it only blow on high? Check to see if it will blow on low settings.
If it's blowing hot air chances are you need freon.

If you have to ask, you can't fix it.

My A/C went out on my Tacoma the other day and I replaced the blowing motor and the resistor by myself.

It blows the same on all settings. It did this the other day but then it started working again. This is the second time in the same amount of weeks

These guys are geniuses about Tacoma A/Cs-

a/c compressor is bad
it has an rpm sensor that is saying the compressor isn't spinning the correct rpms.
if its not a clutch slipping issue then its the sensor has gone bad and you cant fix or replace it, you have to replace the compressor.
my dads camry had it and the dealer charged $1800 to do it out of warranty.
if you dont still have a warranty on it you can have it done at a non-dealer shop for around $1000

I did the same a couple of times - the resistor in the mid 2000 models must have been problematic. I believe I went through two resistors and one new blower motor.

I thought tacomas were incapable of breaking

It could also be bad wiring and connectors to either the motor or resistor.
