Just picked up my car this past Sunday, and some day I'll tell you about that.
It's been a little humid on Long Island this week and I've been running the A/C or Climate Control for much of the time. For the rest of it I've had the windows down and roof open.
Today I had run the A/C while out to lunch and decided to shut it off and just have the outside air blow into the car while the windows were down. After shutting the A/C off, turning the recirc off and putting the fan on the highest setting, the A/C continued to blow. It was 80 degrees outside so I expected to feel some warmer air. I didn't just have this for a couple of minutes, I was driving for a half hour and it was still pumping out cold air.
Now I tried the same thing while using the Climate Control and the exact same thing occured after shutting the CC off and trying to get outside air inside while the windows were down.
No lights were on (A/C or CC) and the recirc light was off.
And yes, I could just turn the temperature gauge up to make the air feel warmer :wink2:, but I'm trying to find out why the A/C compressor keeps running.
Any ideas forum members?
