climate control

[volcano rs]

i tried my air con and climate control today ( i know its freezing outside ) to make sure it continues to work in the summer but the switch( with snow flake sign )dosen't seem to engage if i keep it pressed it comes on but when i let go it disengages again . are they tempreture sensitive ? couldn't tell if the air con was coming on as it was cold anyway.also the bulbs in the background are not working ( from before ) is there easier way of getting to them without having to dissmantle half of the dash .

if temperature is to low the climate wont work

is that for definet? does that include air con as well ? because i couldn't get that to work either .

yep, im positive that the compressor will not run and produce cool air if the air it needs to cool is already as cold...

Below 5 deg c the aircon switches off.

How do I know that?

I wired my car stereo switched ignition feed from it. My stereo don't work when its really cold.

Cheers,

Tis true - most aircon / climate control systems have this function in really cold air...
