my eco button on the climate control will not turn off, the light stays on all the time, and now if i`ve got the the whole climate control off you can still hear the compressor whirling away when it should turn off, thought i`d ask here first before i go the dealers..

any ideas??

on my car the fan seams to run as soon as the key is turned more or less weather the eco button is pushed or not, but when i switch it off manualy the bloody windscreen mists up!! i cant win...

bit puzzled. the eco button should turn the compressor off, but the a/c fan on. you are saying that the button is pressed (light) and the compressor is still on. are you sure it is not just the a/c fan that is on?

if i turn the fan on the econ light comes on (red light) after a few seconds and will not turn off how ever much you press it, then if i turn the fan off by pressing the - button until the who air/con is off you still hear the compresser whirling away.

You might hear the fan but the a/c compressor is just a pump that has a electromagnetic clutch , all you can hear is a "click" as it switches on or off .

the econ light should go on and then off with each depress. check that you don't have sticky buttons, as this can sometimes be the culprit - otherwise you have a fault. does your normal a/c work ok?
