Yeah, I have a bad one too except it went bad when I tried to evacuate and recharge the system. Leaked out all the refrigerant. Terrible in summer.

I'm pretty sure you can just pull it apart and replace the O ring inside there or even the whole valve fairly easily. I'd have to look at mine .... but mine did the same thing and I was going to do the AC delete anyways so I just left it until I removed the AC.
