I've noticed some cars (mostly police) have an A/C cutoff below the dash. I'm just curious why this was needed. In Polaras and other models, did the A/C not shut off when the "OFF" button was pressed (like in Chryslers)?
There's usually a compressor cutoff switch in the head control when the temp slider control is moved to a certain position. Would this do the same truck? Is the separate cutoff switch wired in series with the switch in the head end?
Just looking for some insight on this topic from some of the well-versed folks in the A/C area of this site.
What I'm eventually trying to get at is modifying my head control so that "OFF" really means off. I don't want the compressor running unless I push "AC", and will consider a separate switch as a last resort, for the sake of simplicity.
Thanks for your help, JT
