More AC questions

Does the AC compressor run if the fan is on regardless of where the middle slider is set? I turn on my fan, and even if the slider isn't all the way over to the "AC" position, and my idle drops significantly.

I'm trying to figure out why.

Re: More AC questions

No, it shouldn't run when the top slider is to the right (this is the one that turns the compressor on/off). Watch and see if the clutch engages while someone turns it on in the cab.

Re: More AC questions

I'll check that then. Can you think of any other reason my idle would drop when I turn on the fan? I can't imagine that drawing that many amps...
