Hi all.......my first post......
My '98 RAV brought the A/C on when the heater controls were in defrost and indicated it with the A/C light......all automatic to my annoyance. I remember mods to cut a certain wire to eliminate this but never bothered.
My '05 RAV annoys me even more!!!!.....the A/C comes on in two positions of the heater controls....defrost and floor+defrost.....and Toyota got cute and no longer indicates the A/C is on.....took me two months to realize this!
In the northern latitudes, most of use heat to defog or defrost our windows and having the A/C come on only sucks up more gas.....and gas prices keep going up, up up!!!
I think I'm bright enough to know when I want the A/C on!!!......TOYOTA I HOPE YOU'RE LISTENING!!!!!!!!!
Finally to my question.....does anyone know how to defeat this automatic feature???? I'd like to put a switch in one of the switch dummies to control the voltage at the heater control or at the A/C clutch.......
Sorry
about the length of this, but I had to rant!!!
