Question Turn off A/C on defrost, etc...?

I did a search but didn't find what I was looking for. I remember reading a post a while back that gave directions on how to stop air conditioning from being forced on when you have defrost on. Does anyone know the thread? Thanks

In the electronics section. It's really easy to do and takes care of an annoying problem.

I've tried on my 02 lx sedan and it didn't work. Anyone else have problems with doing this on their 02s or 03s?

I have the 01, and it worked but i still have to click off the air conditioner after selecting defrost. I wish the airconditioner never came on to begin with.
i'll get over it.

Time Needed: 10 seconds.

Annoyed with how you can't turn off the A/C when you turn to defog? Here's the override (realize that A/C expediates the defog process).

These steps are taken from a discussion thread on 2k1civic.com


Turn Car Off
Turn Temperature **** To Full Blue (All the way to the left - Counter-Clock Wise)
Turn Vent **** To Off (All the way to the left - Counter-Clock Wise)
Hold Down Air Recirculation Button As Well As A/C Button
Keep Both Buttons Depressed and Start Car
Keep Both Buttons Depressed for 7 Seconds
*AC LIGHT SHOULD BLINK*

You will now have control of your A/C regardless of what setting you are in, to revert back, simply repeat the procedue
