Previous owner of my 88 ran a switch straight to the compressor. He couldn't tell me why it was done. I know crap about a/c and electrical but did run across a part under the dash during my searches called the A/C Amplifier that has something to do with controlling when the compressor kicks...

hey everyone! just got my hands on an 88 4runner with the 3.0 here in texas to be a daily driver and doggie hauler. bought it from the original owner and it's pretty much bone stock. plans are to keep that way... at least for now hahaha!
