Eleven years, man. ELEVEN YEARS, I've been driving my Civic, and I was always cranky about not having a way to turn off the AC when running the "defrost" vent. Thanks a million!

I had no idea that my air conditioning was being turned on when I used my defroster. I noticed that it seemed like it was revving up the same way it does when the AC is on. But since the AC light didn’t come on I assumed it wasn’t. This is super useful

Tried it five times on my 2010 Civic, didn't work. Watch the video several times to see if I was missing anything. What it did do is turn the compressor off when I switch to modes other than defrost. Whereas before I'd have to click the AC switch to turn it off in the vent or floor positions, so it's sort of worked.

The reason the AC is on for Defrost is to lower the humidity so you can clear the fog off the windshield faster when starting cold. When you cold start , The combination for this is: Fan on high, AC on , Heat on high, windows cracked (For fresh air). You run that for several minutes to clear that dangerous fog on the windshield.

Any device, AC compressor, alternator, power steering pump, that is connected to crancshaft decreases engine power or to be more precise decreases energy output. On some vehicles when You switch AC on while engine runs rpm may go up a liitle. Try accelerating with and without AC on You will feel the difference. Depending on how big the engine is this can be felt more or less. In a 1.8l civic or even in 2.4l Accord fuel consumption will increase about 0.5l per 100km depending how hot it is outside.
