Air Con Gone Mad?

[truCido]

Got in my car to go home last night and the A/C was stuck on...wouldnt turn off, so I turned it to use the vents so it would get rid of the A/C but then it was stuck on Auto instead!!

Any ideas why it would do this?

Have you tried turning down the fan (+ -)? I find by either doing the pressure or the temp it gets rid of them.

Is this when you have the fan facing the windscreen?

 

[truCido]

yeah I turn it down and it doesnt turn off till i turn the fans to nothing....as soon as I put it on 1 the A/C / Auto kicks in!

The A/C sticks on when facing the windscreen and Auto when on vents, although I can get around the Auto on vents by changing the temp. But I should be able to just press the Auto button to be honest!

Turn it downmore than one or two degree's, and the fan speed and it'll turn off

but its never done this before? I should be able to press A/C and it turns off?? It always did before yesterday
