Just discovered a clever thing today, Whenever i start car its always in A/C mode, when switching ac off and driving for a while then stopping, when restarting ac is still off, this seems to be the same however many times i stop and restart, but if i leave it for a couple of hours then start im back to a/c mode, is this normal, anyway i like it

Don't forget everyone  ....with climate control, if the the air distribution switch is set to 'screen', then the air-con is on by default & can only be turned off if you turn the distribution switch back

Are you sure this correct jonnycab?
Cant you just press the air con button to turn off rather than turning the distribution down. I just turn aircon off by pressing the aircon button. or has my scorp got a problem 
regards mick.

If the air distribution (vent) switch is set to windscreen, then the air-con is on....
......even if you press the button & the green light goes off.......it's still on 
Don't ask me why, because I don't know .....it's just the way Ford designed it

JC is quite correct , its because that for rapid screen clearing the A/C is ON Also remember that the A/C will not be operative if the outside temperature drops below 4C although the compressor may be engaged
