AC Fan/Radio/Auto Windows/Speedometer won't work, help please...

[Ralph III]

This is a repost from another thread, as this would seem the proper place to list.

2004 4Runner, Sport Edition, 6 cyl.

My AC stopped working this past week, so my Dad and I tried to troubleshoot yesterday. The compressor wasn't kicking in so I first checked the fuses. After finding no blown fuses we decided to check the refrigerant level. However, upon starting the truck my center console(Radio/AC Fan Controls) were all dead? My automatic windows are also dead as well as my speedometer. The instruments on each side of the speedometer(gas/mileage) are working though, just FYI.

In troubleshooting since:

* I replaced the battery as it was found to be defective.

* I physically inspected each fuse under the hood and dash, twice. I also checked continuity on each fuse with a meter. All fuses are good.

* I purchased a new Relay "magnetic clutch relay" (90987-02022) and swapped it out with every like-kind. That didn't make a difference either. Some posts suggested this could be an issue due to the original noted part # being a known defect and why I checked these.

The Radio/AC-Fan Controls/Auto Windows/Speedometer all remain dead.

Any suggestions?

The AC will not operate if the blower/fan does not work.
I don't have a 2004 manual handy, but if I remember correctly there is a fuss and relay behind the glove box.

Thanks for the reply.

The fan has been working perfectly fine. The A/C stopped blowing cold air and as I couldn't hear the compressor kicking in, we tried looking for some blown fuses.

I didn't find any blown fuses so we next were going to check the refrigerant level. However, upon starting the truck numerous things were not working (AC Fan/Radio/Power Windows/Speedometer).

Same Problem

Hi - wondering if you ever figured out what happened to cause the windows, AC and some of the instrument panel to go out?

I am having that problem right now on my '98 4runner, except that it is intermittent. (mostly not a problem)

Best regards,
