    The Definitive Answer to the KDSS Clunk. Maybe. Probably.

    My clunk was driving me crazy so I finally took it to the dealer. My wife thought I was crazy as she could not hear it. But I knew something was wrong and it couldn't be right. In the end it was determined that the rear cylinder was bad. They replaced it, fortunately still under warranty, and so...

    The Definitive Answer to the KDSS Clunk. Maybe. Probably.

    AC Compressor stuck "on" 2000 SR5

    I have a '97 limited and I experienced something similar a couple years back. After looking through the manual, I found out that if the air selector was in the windshield position, full defrost, the AC would automatically come on to help in dehumidifying the air.
