Press the Auto button or the Defrost button.
My best guess is your AC belt is in bad shape and tightens when you engage the AC/Defrost.
DO NOT FEAR THIS !!! The ac comes on with the defrost: because do you ever use your ac in the winter? me neither. Manufactures have made the ac come on with the defrost to prevent the ac compressor from seizing up. Since we never use them in winter, at least in cold climates. Cheers and drive on.
does fan door motorized or on a vaccuum line when you switch from AC to defrost?
It is supposed to work that way. The AC is used to help remove excess moisture from the interior air so that the defroster can clear the window more efficiently.
I believe the AC clutch will engage if the defrost is selected. You can add haet but the dryer on AC is used to remove moisture in the air for the defrost application. Try changing to floor heat and see if compressor goes off.
If you have the selector knob on defrost it will also run the air conditioner compressor.
You most likely have a bad a/c - heater controller........
Yes, the ac will run in the defrost position to dry the windshield.
The A/C reset button is located in the climate control system. It includes the Fan, Temperature and Mode knob. You can set the A/C to vent, defrost, defog, and floor.
More than likely you have the directional control set to Defrost. At this setting, the A/C compressor will run continuously. Move the selector to another setting, and see if the compressor stops running.
If it has AC assist and the compressor is shot, cut the belt or disconnect the defrost from the compressor.
