Why is my A/C compressor usually on?
Hi everyone,
I have another issue with my 96 Maxima with 142,000 miles. It seems that the AC compressor is usually always on, even if the AC switch is off and the blower is off. I can start the car at times and hear the AC comp kick on, again even if nothing is on in the hvac system. It is very strange, and I have no clue why it would be doing this. The only time that I would think I might kick on is when the defrost is on (even with the ac switch on?) Any ideas?
Thanks,
Zack

When your climate control is off... your compressor should be off. That is not normal for it to run at all times.... The climate control unit might be bad or a malfunction with some switches... The only time I use my compressor is doing the summer for A/C... Your defogger can work without the compressor especially your rear defogger. that is using a heating element on the rear window.
So guy if you compressor is not turning off that is not normal and of course all model don't have climate control but even if it don't your compressor should not run at all times.
