Default To deactivate auto a/c feature on a MY2002+S2K

For the all new guys,

Just in case if you didn't know.


--------------------------------------------------------

To deactivate auto a/c feature on a MY2002+S2K:

1. Turn the ignition switch "on", but don't start car.
2. Turn Fan speed off.
3. Turn Temperature knob all the way to the left (blue).
4. Turn vent knob to all the way to the left (panel position).
5. Turn ignition switch "off".
6. Hold down both air recirculation button and a/c button while turning the ignition switch "on". Nothing lights up initially, keep waiting. The orange air recirculation indicator on the button will start flashing.
7. Continue holding both buttons until the orange air recirculation indicator stops flashing, then let go.

To reactivate:

1. Turn Vehicle off.
2. Turn fan off.
3. Turn temp knob all the way left (blue).
4. Turn Vent knob all the way right (defrost setting).
5. Hold down both air recirc and a/c buttons while starting car.
6. Continue holding for 7 sec until air recirc button stops flashing.
7. After the 7 sec described in step 6 the recirc button will start to flash. Continue to hold the button for another 7 sec. After this, the a/clight will turn to green and it's finished.

i did this the second day i had the car. i tend to use the a/c only when blowing warm air through the defrost doesn't keep the windows from fogging up.

Yes this drives me nutts too! Question for someone that has done this, if you turn this feature off does the ac pump still circulate once in a while?

It still turns on every time you select either of the defrost modes. It just allows you to turn it back off if you want.

That works for me. I was more concerned about the pump coming on by itself on regular bases so it doesn't seize up from no use?
