I have a 2004 Toyota Sienna. We were driving down the highway yesterday afternoon and our A/C was working fine, then halfway through our drive, it stopped blowing cold air then went to hot air. It started to smell like burning plastic, so we turned it off and rolled the windows down and continued on our drive and just waited till late evening to drive back home. What should we do first, before spending an arm and leg at the dealership?

I would take it to an accredited ac specialist shop if you have to. The burning plastic smell is from a shorted wire ( ac compressor solenoid or thermostat under the dash)
