Subject: DML: Climate control switch.
I discovered a interesting problem today. I have always left my climate =
selector knob (the center knob) on the upper and lower setting. Just a =
brief description of the knob so we are all on the same page...The center =
knob between the hot and cold selector and the fan speed selector. It has =
the following options... off, A/C max, A/C normal, upper/lower, upper, =
lower, defroster/lower, defroster.
Now that we have that straight. It is very warm out this morning, so I =
turned the temp control to cold and the selector was on upper/lower. Well =
the air coming from the vent was freezing. It should have been cooler =
outside air. To make a longer story short, this position had my A/C on. =
So if I'm not mistaken my A/C has been on since I have owned the truck. =
This could be a reason for the low MPG. Check it out and see if your DAK =
does this. This is a problem, because the A/C should not be on at that =
selection.
Sorry so long
You must have gotten one of the wrong dash plates.There is supposed to be a
snowflake at that position and the A/C is supposed to be on. The dealer had
to change out my plate and switch so it would be correct. Seems there was
alot of trucks that had this problem.
