Why does my defroster turn off the AC in my car?

Why does my defroster turn off the AC in my car?

The AC removes moisture from the incoming air in order to keep the windows clear from fogging up. There are temps where the AC won’t run, the pressure switches and sensors will take care of that and turn off the compressor if the system is in danger of icing up.

When does your defroster run the AC compressor?

That’s perfectly normal, many cars (especially American cars that don’t have a A/C on/off button) will run the AC compressor when the temperature is above 45F or thereabouts. asemasterJanuary 22, 2017, 6:33pm

Why is my AC not running in Sub Zero?

If you remove the relay that controls the compressor clutch, the AC won’t run. In sub zero, the AC should not be running anyway because the computer controls the AC compressor clutch. Air temperature is one of the inputs it uses to decide whether to run the compressor or not.
