AC turns on by itself

NPDAN · 09-16-2007, 03:47 AM

WTF!!! my AC keeps turning on by itself. I turn it off and 10 seconds later give or take a few it's back on. Could a bad fuse be at fault? What do you think I can rather than take it in to the shop?

thats weird but your best bet would be taking it to the dealer.

one thing that i hate though, about the air, is that when your turning it off (pressing the small fan button) and if you press it one more extra time (by mistake maybe) it will turn back on.

had this problem b4.
i switched it to auto and let it run.
Switched off the car completely. Went to ignition on mode and reset the idrive.
Didnt come back after that. It worked for me.

What do you mean you reset the idrive? How do you do that?

Eject CD, DVD eject, and radio power, if I remember correctly.

Guys check your batteries. All these fan variation speeds are due to a low battery. I had this issue when when my old battery was low. Ever since I replaced it I have not seen this issue happening again.

The previous owner of my car had an issue with the AC turning OFF by itself. If I remember correctly, the problem was due to a short.
