Thank you very much for the suggestion. I have a locking one but I can’t find it lol. I guess I have been lucky up till now. Nobody has ever touched the one on my 4Runner and it is a Harley Davidson one that has been on there for years. I will look for another locking one.
What I do before starting the truck keep your foot off the brake and hit start. Then see if the A/C light is lit. If it is turn it off. Then start truck and problem solved. This is for a 26 hybrid. I have not tried remote start to see what happens.
