Re: ac help

are you saying the dealership was unable to diagnose the problem?

Re: ac help

Maybe it wasn't acting up while they had it.

It happens to me a lot. It's like the cars just know....

The switches are simple inputs to the HVAC controller, and the lights are operated by the HVAC controller.
So.... I'd reason the HVAC controller is keeping those lights on, for whatever reason.

Does that mean it's bad? Maybe.

Let them give you their answer.

Ya know, if you had mentioned you had issues with all these other systems along with the AC problem, I could have gone right to the MICU.

Except the MICU shouldn't have anything to do with the lights on the AC/recirc/def switches. That's probably in the HVAC controller.
