I guess the bigger Q is why would you want it to? It comes on sporadically with the defroster system, but aside from that, do you need AC in the middle of winter in Illinois?

Regarding the manual...this issue is a little over the head of Average-Joe car owner, so it wouldn't be in the manual anyway.

I use the A/C to dry the air in the car ... the floor mats, etc. I think it was my Regal that introduced me to it, they called it automatic climate control, which left the A/C on all the time.

Since I have 2-door cars, I use the 2-40 air on most days in the summer, so keeping everything circulating would be a good thing in my case.

I have a similar list, but by the time it would have qualified for the Lemon Law, I was 1000mi over the allowable limit. Since I got the car, I've been w/o it for about 40 days.
