so i noticed today that when i turn the heat on the ac light on the **** that you control the amount of air that comes in the car?kinda hard to explain but its the last **** on the right.you can hear the ac compressor kick on.the heat works and the ac works but i was curious as to why that happens?i just push the button to shut the comp off,cant keep it from comming back on when i remote start car .supposed to be like that?

 

the heat works the same if the light is on or off.and when i need ac it works as it should also ,just concerned about the compressor turning on.just wanted to clarify my question

 

I believe the compressor comes on to provide dehumidified air.

 

Yep. Keeps your window from fogging up in the cold weather.

 

pretty cool stuff.thanks

 

"Defroster/defogger". You can turn the AC off if you don't want it. After you turn airflow **** and the light comes on. Hit the button where the light is and the AC will shut off.

 

thats ive been doing ,just didnt know why it was doing it

 

Guess my reading comprehension gets a big "Fail".

 

you know...this may actually answer a question i was about to post...

lol...

i bought a used roadster about a month ago, and have had it under wraps...been busy putting some wheels, tires, and c/o's on it...

i have noticed the same thing with my car. it's an '05, and i could have sworn that it had some elecrtrical demons with teh AC system...

jsut about every other time i get in, turn the heat on, i notice the AC light is lit...so i turn it off...then, every once in a while, i will look down, and it is on again....i even watched it turn on during my maiden wheel and coilover test when i hit a hard *** bump....

is this coincidence? i hope so...

turning off the AC here and there does not bother me in the least, that is, unless it is an actual problem....

just cofirming that it is supposed to do this...i even can hear the defrost blowing at the dash when this is happening...i hear the defrost blowing hard when the fan speed dial is very low.....wierd....

all kosher, right???

thanks again guys....
