Has anyone noticed this or is supposed to do it. My a/c runs all the time, even when it is supposed to be off. No It is not on defrost either. I took it to the dealer they told me it was made that way. I called Mazda they said it's not supposed to be that way. But the dealer won't fix it :dunno:

If the vent is set to your feet, the AC will automatically come on to keep the winshield defrosted but the indicator lamp will not illuminate. Maybe that's what you're seeing.

have mazda call the dealer and tell them its not right.

btw the AC runs anytime floor is selected.


be more precise about what you mean by all the time

There IS a way to turn it off......

The system runs, to trys to dehumidify, whenever it is in the defrost or floor positions.

..ergo, the only setting that doesn't have either position is "dash".

Dash will not run the a/c. ...or you could pull the fuse up front that controls the a/c clutch, it's marked "ac clutch" :yesnod: (duh!)

S

I'll never understand why it tries to dehumidify my feet. Maybe I like my feet moist.

Thanks all, I'll put it on dash vent and see if it quits. Because I'm not sure about that one. It just seemed odd to me. None of my other cars have done that.

i'm not sure. but maybe it just cycles the ac compressor to lubricate it.

you don't really need it anyways....turn it of and you'll be fine :smoker:
