Hi Forum,

 

I'm not sure what the 2002 controls are like, but they're probably similar to my 2001. I can hit the economy or off button to turn off the A/C. Or if it's on auto I can hit the auto button again and it will toggle off.

 

or how about you turn the temperature up on the auto climate control?

come on man, this is simple stuff and it's definitely in your owner's manual.

 

It is sort of confusing because there is no button that says "A/C" on it. But it should say in the owners manual what temp the compressor shuts off at. But even if you have it on auto with the temp at 80 degrees, the compressor can turn on to stablize humidity in the cabin - Something like that, I remember reading it in my owners manual.

 

I think that all cars with climate control options leaves it on. Only difference is that the ECON key works the same as Hondas where they have the A/C button lit when it is on.

 

hit the econ button and it will turn the ac off

 

Press ECON once

 

20 days a year????

Just remove the whole ac compressor! And the rest of it! You'll lose like 70 lbs, some drag on the pulley system, and you wont have to worry about reading the manual.

Thats what I would do!

 

a/c regulates humidity. that's why its on most the time. kepps windows from fogging. we turn the a/c off maybe 20 days/yr here

 

wow I have my A/C on most of the time or I just turn the fan off (i guess thats the good thing about a 96') with the little buttons that control the fan strength.
