can you use the defroster without A/C ?

deltatechx · 02-21-2008, 12:32 PM

seems kind of stupid to always have the A/C on when using the defrost (especially in 20 degree weather), at least in my Odyssey I could turn off the A/C button and the A/C would actually shut off, no such option with the civic

Anyone know which wire triggers the A/C when the defrost or defrost/low button is pressed? That seems like a worthy wire to CUT. I could still turn the A/C on via thee... A/C BUTTON!!! Who the h*ll does Honda think they are, telling me that I HAVE to use my A/C to defrost my windows, with no exceptions!!?

any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you, didn't think there was a 'cheat code' for the A/C system, lol. And sorry bout starting a new thread but I despise the search engines in forums, they never show you what you want (at least, I haven't had much success with it)

Thanx agian.
