Defog Question...

I'm wondering if the 8 like most cars automatically turns on the A/C when you activate the defog function. If so, how come the A/C light doesn't light up? Or should it (warranty!). Or do I need to manually turn the A/C on as well?

the A/C comes on when the defog is turned on (if the outside temperature is above 32 F) or close.

It's normal behavior. Some cars have a way to turn the "auto A/C" feature off

But the A/C light doesn't come on. Is my light broken? But it comes on when I manually switch on the A/C

The AC light only seems to indicate that the driver asked for AC. The other functions are 'hidden'...

Cool It is written......

The computer turns it on when you sellect certain windshield/feet flows - it's even in the manual. Says the light won't show.

If you don't like it, pull the fuse marked A/C Clutch - the computer thinks it is still working, but it ain't.

The AC won't come on if you put the selector into "full face" mode. That's what I normally use on those "bizzarre" occasions when want the heat on but not the air conditioning. :shrug:
