I believe there is only two settings that blow the fan without the compressor. If its lit blue then that means the compressor will be on, also if the defrost is selected in the furthest two right selections then that turns the compressor on as well. Only way you could change this is to put a manual switch on the compressor activation wire behind the controls that would keep the compressor from turning on.

Blend Door motors tend to go out quite often. Had to change a number of them. As for vacuum issue. The f-body has only 1 incomming vacuum line that I can see. If you gain a underdash vacuum issue, most likely, its your fault

Turn auto mode off, problem solved

With the climate control in my Bonneville, as soon as you turned the HVAC system (not the car) on the fan automatically went to full fan blast. I hated that. It wasn't 'auto' mode, it was just the default setting for each re-start of the system.

I'll keep my manual controls whenever I can.

I find that wierd. Why on earth would a car ever default to auto mode? My silverado only defaults to auto mode when I use remote start, but goes right back to manual mode as soon as I put the key in.

So your saying that if you got in your car, it was in auto. You unselected auto mode, and turned the car off. When you turned it back on, it was back in auto mode?

On another note, any of the levers break off on your nova. I lost two already. Busted the little end pieces off. Luck for me, the key can come out of the ignition even after it been started, so I can slide it out, poke it in the slot, and move it up and down

I could turn the car on without the fan starting no problem, it's just that when I'd push any button on the climate control to get that going, the fan would automatically go to the highest speed setting, and show 'auto' on the screen. It would remember the last temp I had set, but its fan default was to instantly go to auto & high speed when the system was turned on, even if I had it set to the lowest speed the last time it was used. As soon as I'd turn the fan down one notch, it would be back in manual mode. I owned that car since it was almost new (17k miles), and that's how it always was.

Mine has never broken, but I can certainly see how that would happen. The cables used to be so hard to operate that I was always afraid they would break. Then, in '08 I had to replace the heater core, so while I had the heater box out I lubed all the hinges and door swing points where each cable connected. It works sooooo much better now. Still a tad tight, but about 90% better than before. Guess they just need a little grease every 30 years or so.

You can buy the little end pieces from Year One for about $4 each, or a whole new cable set for about $40, if you want.

I like the HVAC controls the way they are.

Same here. Simple, well laid out, easy to reach. The only thing that I wish was different would be the addition of an A/C compressor button as the OP is talking about.
