98 Sienna XLE - Where's my AC fuse?

[metal_falsetto]

Hi guys — first-time poster here. I recently picked up a 98 Sienna XLE, and am having some issues with the AC. I'm trying to locate the 5 amp fuse for the AC, with little luck.

I've pulled the coin cup near the hood release, which has a schematic showing the fuse in question, although the fuse is not there. Mind you, I don't mean "there's no fuse in the socket," I mean "the socket that's supposed to be there isn't there." All of the other fuses shown on that schematic are in their proper places. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There are several fuse boxes inside the engine compartment.

If I remember right.
It might be somewhere in the passenger kick panel.

Has anyone ever answered this question ? I have the eaxact same problem...everything I see says it should be to the left of the other driver side fuse panel, but there is nothing there ??

I have an LE. I just had my driver's kick panel area torn apart today for a different reason. I found the AC fuse to the left of the main fuse panel on an attachment. It was a 5 Amp mini. You'll need to pull the door molding up a little and pull the front door trim (don't forget to remove nut by base of emergency brake). You'll then need a 10MM socket to unscrew both the kick panel cover and a metal kick panel behind the plastic. It's kind of hidden on the upper left attached or just to left of electrical panel. Good luck.

Thanks mstevens...I'll have a better look. I had everything off except that metal kick panel before.
