Default AC issue...turns on by itself...

I've been having this issue on and off and now its getting a bit annoying. Sometimes I start up the car and the AC is on OFF, it blasts on AUTO. Or when I drive, the AC kicks on randomly...could this be the switch or the ac module unit itself?

That explains why section ATC of the service manual says 'Automatic Air Conditioning". It comes on by itself.
