It’s hot here today in TX. Like 110F.
When I press the Auto button, the AC button turns off. Temp set to 70.
I can push AC button and it works fine - blows cold. Press Auto and AC turns off again.
I’ve used Auto before with no issues.
There’s nothing in owners manual about this that I can find.

Anyone else seen this?

are you saying it stops blowing?

People who use auto in that kind of heat are brave. I set it manually, recirc and LO.

The fan keeps blowing but the AC turns off.
I’m wondering if the temp difference is too much and the auto system doesn’t know what to do. So it just turns off the AC…

Is the cab already cool when that happens? If you leave it for a bit does it turn back on?

Never mind. It works as it should. The AC light turns off in Auto mode but the AC is still on. It tricked me because it was so hot outside that it felt like the AC turned off.
It’s all good.

That’s why I said I don’t play with that. Always recirc on LO. Too damn hot to let something else decide what it should be doing ?

Mine just started doing the same. I always run on auto and both the ac light and recycle light stay on. Now if I select either, auto goes off. When I select auto, both the lights go off. Something isn’t right,
Has there been an update?

No, thats just how the “genius” engineers designed it. Couldnt just leave it logical.
