there are no options?

is there seriously no way to bypass the automatic climate control???there's got to be a way to stop that compressor from cycling and stealing my power from me...it gets to be annoying.I don't care if A/C is needed and it's doing it, but with the heat on???!!!! come on who designed that program...Any other ideas about how to find out about this?original manuf/comp. interface

Just remove the A/C compressor. problem solved.

or just the belt?
I have yet to do any mechanical work on my car whatsoever, so maybe because of the way it's shoehorned in there you may as well remove the compressor, but on every other car I've worked on it's simpler to remove the belt than worry with a/c lines, reconnecting stuff and whatnot.

Or, better and easier, pull the connection off of the clutch cycling switch.

Rob,
Could you, or someone else, without taking up to much of your own time explain how this is accomplished and undone? If it take more than around half an hour to do the job, just say so and don't bother explaining. My car definately ain't broke, so I don't care to mess with it too much, and I don't want to be the guy in a few months, "OMG I spent 3 grand to get this car running!" LOL. thanks.

The compressor does not cycle in the "vent" and "floor" modes.

I always use floor myself, unless I need the defroster.

Sure Faxon,
The clutch cycling switch simply screws into your AC accumulator. Mine is located to the left of the radiator when viewed from front of car looking back. It is as simple as reaching down there and disconnecting the wiring harness. 30 second job at best. Be sure to secure the harness where it will not be damaged due to heat or the cooling fan. With this switch disconnected, the computer senses a low pressure refrigerant level, and prevents the compressor from running to avoid damaging it. I disconnect mine every winter, and reconnect it when I need the AC. 4.5 yrs of doing this, and no problems as of yet.

The compressor cycles for reasons other than to provide a/c. It is off in vent, floor and off positions. It cycles in defrost and auto modes to help lubricate and keep the compressor seals from drying out in the winter (it was designed that way for a reason, you see). It also dehumidifies the air in the defrost mode and that clears the windows much faster. I would leave it hooked up. It is not robbing much power because it cycles on and off. You will miss the cool air in the summertime if the seals dry out and the compressor fails. Check the prices for a new one before you pull off the harness.
