Hi, I can't seem to get the a/c power button to turn off. The light is always on, no matter how many times I push/hold it. Is that supposed to happen or is it a problem?

 

when u turn the knob to the blue part make sure its not clicked on max cuz then the ac light will always stay on. just turn the knob a lil and it should turn off.

 

yea that pretty much explains it, when its on max AC then the AC light will go on automatically

 

now this has gotta be the QUESTION OF YEAR!

 

Hey, don't poke fun. Yes, I've always had the cold on max, so that's the problem. I never knew that, since my last car didn't do that.

 

End this post now before it takes over the world...

Max A/C = bad

end of story

 

im sorry..
i didnt mean to make fun of it...juz finding it amazing..
didnt u even ever adjust the temperature when it's cold at night???

 

No, I always leave it on max cold. If it gets too cold, I just turn it off or let the outside air blow in, by turning the a/c off but leaving the fan blowing. Just how I am, and how I've always done it.

 

While on the topic......The AC system they put in this car sucks.......I have no idea why....I owned a MItsu Galant before this car and the AC was awesome. Very strong and cold....As for the EVO, it takes awhile before the cabin gets cold.....I guess they probably tuned down the AC system so it can increase little performance.....

 

Our A/C's in the EVO suck. And the controls absolutely suck ***...

 

I dunno....I've gone through numerous 90+ degree humid days and the A/C seems to be working good enough. It does take a while to cool down a hot cabin...but what car doesn't?

I'm just glad I dont have to deal with scorching leather seats anymore!

 

They AC itself works fine for me and always has (unfortunately I can't really use it now cept on the highway), but I agree that the controls blow. I wonder if it's possible to take an electronic AC unit from an Asia/Pacific Rim/AU/NZ Lancer/Evo and swap out the wire controlled AC controls.

EDIT: Note to self: Find synonym for "controls".
