When I turn the heat on the ac clutch stays engaged, ideas?
When I turn the ac/heat **** all the way to the right and put the air vents on defrost or something, the ac compressor stays on. It gets warmer but I feel like the ac is overpowering the heat, idk if this is possible. I found a brown vacuum line under the dash which is meant for the floor vents according to the fsm but I can't figure out where it goes. I'm not sure if this would make a difference. Oh and the vents change as I cycle them around. Any ideas on what to do? I took it to my ac guy and he only looked at it because I didn't feel like spending the money and he said the Heater core wasnt even turning on. I feel like it's an electrical issue but who knows. Thanks!

On certain settings, (basically, anything that involves the defroster vents) the a/c compressor will indeed run. The theory behind that is: Refrigerated air carries less moisture. Which is true. However, so far as I am concerned, if I am in a position that I need to run the defroster, ALL of the air is ALREADY refrigerated, as it is winter.......
On my truck, the blower speed **** goes both ways, (yep, it's bi.) on one side, it enables the a/c compressor, on the other, it does not. I rather like it. I think that changed in 98 though.
