Air Conditioning constantly on?! 1985 GTV6
Posted: Thu Oct 02, 2008 9:10 pm
Hi guys,
Sorry if this is a really dumb question, but my 1985 GTV6 seems to have the a/c running the whole time. The compressor belt is turning when I look at the engine when it is running. I have just bought the car, and the A/C system needs a regas and leak check so its not blowing cold, but I noticed a hiss from the inside vents when shutting off the engine (like you get sometimes when switching A/C off). The blue A/C control is all the way anti clockwise and the fan switch is off - therefore the A/C should be off right? Or is there another A/C control? Or if it should be off, why is compressor belt still spinning? Could it be a broken switch? Is there a fuse a can remove if the switch is stuck on? I don't want to rob engine power until I can get it fixed up!
Cheers
Jon
