What would cause my compressor to cycle with A?C off
What would cause my compressor to cycle with A?C off. It just does it with the fan in th on position. When you turn the fan off it quites? (three a/c amps and tree control panels later). THANKS

Spin has it right, the manual spells it out - the a/c cuts in to dehumidify the air whenever ANY setting other than "dash" is selected, and it doesn't light the indicator!
The straight arrow dash setting is the only sure way to keep it off.
I'm in the far north, I pull the fuse marked "a/c clutch", 10 amp. That way the computer thinks it is still controlling the a/c.
That is a crazy set up. Most cars don't do that. Eats up your gas mileage.
Thanks guys
actually most cars do have a scheme to have the ac on whenever the defroster is on.
and in the case o fthe rx-8 wheneve floor is selected defrost is also automatically selected. that has to do with placement of the heater core,ac condensor and the path of the vents in relation to the widshield because of the engine being so far under the A-pillar line.
