To add to my confusion, the A/C does NOT have to be turned "on". I can be driving around during the day, on cool nights, anytime... with the roof open, or closed, vent, heat, whatever. Everytime I restart the car, the switch jumps over to re-circulate. Again, I will swap the switch over to fresh air, then can be sitting at a signal light and it will switch over to re-circulate.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
