What is wrong with you, all i asked was a question and i was confused, as i still am, as to on and off with aircon switch. Why cant you keep your nose out unless you have something to offer.

I am very new to this site and to RR ownership, so leave me alone and give me an answer i can understand.

The light on the aircon switch is ON when the aircon is OFF and OFF when the aircon is on, counter intuitive I know.
All this and more is outlined in the owners Handbook

I wonder what they were smoking when they designed this thing.

I have a handbook, but it doesnt explain the light being on and off, thats why i was confused. After several reads and playing with the switch, i know now what to do.

Seems i have been using the A/C all the time, this could explain the idle and surge problem. Jeez its not easy owning one of these things, but i will get there unless she makes me sell it.

The climate control system needs the A/C to be normally on which is why the switch is specifically an OFF switch.
The car is designed to have the A/C on all the time so any idle/surge issues you have are a problem.

Well the 95's are pushing 20 years old now. So when you think about the development time, the technology is 20 years plus. No wonder they provide a few challenges and tests from time to time. Bear with it. They do provide reward. Good job they do - or none of us would bother.

Yep ..a man's gotta have a hobby. My grandfather always advised to steer clear of anything with a "t" in it... primarily "tits" and "tyres" :wasntme: ...they will cost money and end in tears...

Ok now i am confused. Does the light on the switch need to be on, that is the light showing.

OR

Does the light need to be off.

Can you see where i am confused
