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?

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!
