A/C running constantly, does not shut off when set temp reached....the ac compressor does not shut off....... my car is spending more on gasoline beacause air conditioning compressor is not stopped when it reaches the desired temperature......someone could help me pliss...thank you

If I'm understanding this right, the a/c won't just cut off on its own when it reaches whatever temp. It stays on to maintain the temp. Can you not just push the button and turn it off?

 

I think the off button will suffice............

anyway, the a/c system hardly wastes gas, that's just an old wives tale

 

mine does the same but i just turn it off or raise the temp

 

yes i push the buttom and turn it off, but the thing is thats that the car needs to do that by itself.....my other car is a 2000 mitsubishi eclipse gt , and when i put the a/c on in low or wheatever you can hear or feel when the a / c stops...

 

I think it must have something wrong ... is not normal to the a/c compressor to stay on for so long....for example im from tampa..how about a trip to miami with the a/c on....is not normal to the a/c coompresor to stay on 4 hour without stopping...that can burn the coompresor......I think that the automatic coompressor control unit is bad....
