I think you did misread me or maybe I misread mitosis. He wrote, "and at no point is the AC compressor just gonna turn on on it's own whim." Anyway it doesn't matter. He thought he had complete control over the HVAC, I thought he didn't...
Phew... I'm glad you guys worked that out! I really wasn't trying to start any debates with my novel, I was trying to write a piece of prose about my love of our car

Yeah you misread me a bit... I was referring to the fact that the AC can not turn on unless I press the AC button or have defrost on. Once the compressor is engaged via the AC button or defrost I am well aware of the fact that the compressor does not run 100% duty cycle... I can feel and hear it every time it cycles... I am, after all, not new to this whole "cars" thing

So to clarify, I enjoy having complete control of the OFF setting... the AC switch is like a master breaker switch for the compressor circuit and the compressor can't turn on without me closing said breaker.
