YOO YOOO, lol i know the topic is wierd. but i know its not right, but my car, whenever i turn the mode to defrost(windshield) and turn the fan level up to any number ( 1-4) the ac turns on. it only happens when its in defrost mode, even if the ac switch is disengaged. but if its in any other mode it behaves normal. any ideas?

also other problems im having. cruise control doesnt work, dimmer switch doesnt work ( it doesnt dim up or down), hazard lights dont work but turn signals do. mph speedo doesnt work, but i replaced the speed sensor via oem and the odometer works just not the speed (im sure if i replace the speedo with a known working one it should fix the problem) they are all electricall problems and i have a feeling some of them tie togather.

ive done a lot and checked almost everything. i wish i knew how to read electrical diagrams or check for bad grounds.
thanks guys.

Some cars are automatically set to turn A/C with Defrost.

Yes it comes on when you set it to defrost. A/C pulls moisture out of the air so it stops the fogging on the inside. Biggie = right.
