2005 camry

i have a problem guys and i need some suggestions or a possible solution other than a trip to the toyota dealer unless it's absolutely neccesary, i did a 2005 toyota camry a while back, viper 5002, and removed the toyota kelyess that was previously installed, the problem is the a/c only circulates cool air when the temperature settings are set to cold max, increasing the temp by point five of a  degree  immediately brings hot air into the car, what could have caused this and what can i do to remedy the situation, i have no blown fuses, and have tried disconnecting the battery pole and letting it sit to try a reset but still nothing. thanks in advance. commit your way to jehovah and he will act in your behalf. psalms 37:5

it sounds like an issue with the car and not the R/S t&t. you stated that you did the install some time ago, did this problem just start happening, or did it occur right at the time of the install?

right after the install, it is the car, and the alarm is not remote start, so i know a setting went off somehow, but i just need some pointers in the right direction.commit your way to jehovah and he will act in your behalf. psalms 37:5

Sounds crazy, but do you know the ac was blowing cold before you did the install?  Possible that the owner didn't notice it until after the alarm was installed.

it was, we perform checks before work is done so i know it was, thanks for the suggestion anyway, any others thoughts would be appreciated.commit your way to jehovah and he will act in your behalf. psalms 37:5

Does this car have automatic climate controls or manual? If they're automatic, on the driver's side underdash panel is the cabin air temperature sensor. It consists of a temperature sensor, a two-pin wire harness going to it, and an air tube that makes a small suction......this is what keeps cabin air passing over the sensor. It's possible that the sensor is unplugged, or the air hose is unattached, or that it's not properly fastened to the hole in the dashboard to let the cabin air pass into the sensor.

Darren, Chris probably hit on the answer, I haven't done Camrys for years, that and the Maxi were quietly dropped from UK  about 5 years ago...BMW and Audi just murdered them sales wise, any way one more thought, did you have to unplug any heater controls? Those things have to be "rammed" home.

thanks alot chis i'll try that and let you know, and howie, i didn't unplugg any jacks from anywhere except the ones chris just mentioned, everything i needed was easily accesible without requiring the removal of any plugs. thanks again.commit your way to jehovah and he will act in your behalf. psalms 37:5

The part Chris is talking about will pop off the bolster without unplugging anything. It's to the right of the steering column and is a black box type thing with a plug and a hose connected to it. It's not attached well to the bolster and will come off by itself without you even noticing...Mike M2
